Rustypuppy on Nostr: One Good Dragon Deserves Another, book 2 of 5 in the Heartstriker series by Rachel ...
One Good Dragon Deserves Another, book 2 of 5 in the Heartstriker series by Rachel Aaron.
Self-contained plot, though I think it would be easier to follow if you’d read the first one. Also has an end-of-the-book blowup that adds a new crises that seem will resonate through the rest of the books.
I like what the author does with the seers (dragons that know the future and manipulate anyone and everyone to get the outcome they prefer) and spirits (sentient magic). Part of the joy of reading genre for me is experiencing these other worlds that authors create.
As an author, I enjoy the craft of the book:
- showing the reader things the characters don’t know to increase tension
- having the characters know something that is completely hidden from the reader until the reveal
- keeping some things from the reader and the characters, but with enough bits scattered around that, when looking back, all the parts were there before the final puzzle image was revealed.
Going on to the third book. 👍 🐉
