The Dragons Saga

review 1: I received a free copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review. This is book 3 of The Dragon Saga Series. Darien and Tai are finally crazy in love and they are now expecting their first son Ethan. As time progresses Tai feels unprepared to be a mom. This only adds to his stress, as he leads the Ociena people and braces them for war. Jason and Matthias are beginning to drift apart as Matthias continues to do their father’s bidding. Jason and Gwen escape to an island to forget about the impending war that haunts him. He finds out the truth about his family history which will certainly shock you. Added to that, since the ritual, he now has an unwelcomed guest in his head. He has yet to tell Gwen, but she already senses that something is wrong. Matthias’ w... moreife, Kat is pregnant with the first girl baby in dragon history.The war is about to begin, will Matthias have enough power to overtake the Ociena people? Will Jason aid his brother or betray him?This was an amazing book and great page turner. It finally ties in everything from book one and two. I think the most surprising character in this book would have been Alex, by the end of the novel he’s pretty come into his own and his fate is sealed. Out of all of the characters, Jason is my favorite. No matter what seemed to happen to him, he was determined to do the right thing. I was drawn in by the characters immediately, there were moments my heart ached for Navi and Tai. If you love clean sci-fi/fantasy novels, you should read awesome series!
review 2: I first have to say, as I always do, that this is one of my all time favorite series! I can never gush about this series and this author enough. That being said, let me get onto my review..War is upon the dragons in this installment. Sides are chosen, questioned, and betrayed. The Inero Dragons have teamed up with the Terran Dragons against the Oceina Dragons. The Inero Lord has claimed that the Oceina dragons have unrightfully claimed their land and that they are basically a mistake. In teaming with the Terrans, the Inero Lord has a few plans up his sleeves that rely on his touched sons, Matthias and Jason, the touched brothers - unaware of the real role of the Touched Ones. Newlyweds, Jason and Gwen, are away from the Inero city, hoping to find what their marriage is missing to make it official (they have only one year before their marriage is dissolved), but more to get to know each other and allow their love to grow. While Jason is still connected to his twin brother Matt, through their minds, he is glad to be away from the Castle and the war that is brewing up. Meanwhile, Matt is stuck in the middle of conflict without knowing it, and is finding that married life with his life-time love is not all that he thought it was going to be, even with a child on the way. Meanwhile, with the Oceina Dragons, Darien finds he jealousy while his wife, Tai, continues to attend school. Darien also finds himself in his father's role as the new Oceina Lord, with all the responsibilities and decisions that comes with such a position. This series honestly just keeps getting better and better. While our main characters are technically dragons, Jenkins has done a fantastic job in making them human. Honestly, until they change into their dragon form I forget that they are dragons. While I loved the first installment because it focused on Tai and Darien, and then I fell in love with the second installment because I found a new favorite couple in Gwen and Jason. In this installment, you get them all and many new faces. I love how it is told from many perspectives - this really adds to the depth of the story and the complexities of each relationship. While the plot line sounds complex, and sometimes it is, Jenkins has once again created a story full of heart and soul. Her passion for her craft seeps through her characters and stories. This is best seen, at least in my opinion, in Jason and Gwen. Unlike his dragon brothers, Jason does not 'consummate' his marriage to Gwen, and unlike his dragon brothers, he does not treat Gwen like property. I loved seeing their relationship grow - they fall in love with each other on the basis of understanding and friendship, while at the same time their faults are highlighted. I was gushing over these two completely!! To be honest with you, I found Matthias to be naive, a child, and almost downright annoying. But I think this was done on purpose. I literally kept yelling at him, asking him why he was soo blind to his father's purposes and goals. The Dragon Saga is a rare gem in Young Adult. I say it every time and I know I will say this even more - you will never have this much fun reading about dragons! Get off your but and read this series!!! less
