More surprises on Zora
In this 5th book of the current series, Dragon Kings, we meet Kendrick, King of the Sienna’s, one of the Dragon Kings from Earth who has made his way to the planet Zora where all the Earth dragons were sent to in the past. He is patrolling along the edge of dragon land when he encounters the new foe, an invisible powerhouse, who attacks him. He is almost defeated by this entity, when a group of mortals, Asavori Rangers, come to his assistance. Led by a woman, Esha, the group manages to drive it away. Kendrick had crossed into the adjoining territory of Idrias which he finds is the home of the Asavori Rangers who are also elves. The story takes off from this beginning into an interesting look at another part of Zora and its inhabitants. Donna Grant continues to develop the world of Zora, intertwining the Dragon Kings with not just their own descendants but the other groups living there. Not all is peaceful and happy. But each book adds to the quilt that Donna is making. Both main characters are well developed, and the book is novella length. Dragon Lover could be read as a standalone but will be much more enjoyable after reading the prior books in this series. For the best experience, a new reader should go all the way back to the beginning of Donna Grant’s Dark World. Well written, with a good plot and characters, I am looking forward to the next book. I was given an ARC by the author through BookFunnel and this is my honest opinion.
