This is one of my favourite series and I highly recommend it to the people who do not have a problem with explicit situations and violence. Each of the characters is skilled in his or her own way and they are all strong warriors or rulers or advisers. There is a lot of romance as well, however, it is more raw than sophisticated as are the characters. Each book features battles and negotiations for alliances, intrigues and back stabbing, as well as friendship loyalty and fighting for the common welfare. There are dragons who can assume human form when needed, there are humans, there are witches, and more, but what they all have in common is that they are all warriors. And some of the characters appear more than others, such as Annwyl the Bloody, Dagmar Reinholdt, and some of the dragons. Therefore, each book features a focus story and contributed to the overall development of the world the characters are living in. Each book focuses on a couple but with significant interactions with other characters and the underlying development of the situation in the world. The series currently contains eight books and four prequels. And tremendous amount of hilarious situations. I have to warn you that there are some explicit situations and language in the books as well as abundance of violence. The world is so well described and developed that it would be easy to draw a map according to the descriptions from the books. It has a very nice flow, characters are well developed, they live in a very interesting imaginary world and their interactions are fascinating. Since then, I survive on one or two of her books a year.įirst of all, her writing is fun, so much fun. Then I went searching and discovered a gold mine of books under Shelly Laurenston, so I devoured those as well.
That was about two years ago so fortunately, most of the books were published already. I discovered Dragon Actually by chance and after I finished it, I devoured the rest of the series. Aiken is Shelly Laurenston’s pseudonym for the Dragon Kin series, and that is how I started my love affair with her books.
