Review: Heir of Draga (The Draga Court Series Book 4) by Emma Dean

Heir of Draga by Emma Dean
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Pain and Tragedy

I’ve just read a review for this book that stated they didn’t understand why there weren’t more reviews for this series, and I can’t agree more. This series is vastly underrated because it absolutely brilliant. Though it is an RH book, it is a very slow building one and each addition takes a long time. Plus, the people surrounding Adelina are not all part of her harem, some are just friends and advisors, which I like. Sometimes RH gets a bit romance orientated. Have a longer series like this one allows the characters and their motivations to breathe a little. This feels more like a Sci-Fi series than a pure romance novel. Set in space in the future with wars between systems and advanced technology seems to meet the definition.

After Raena, authorises the marriage of Adelina and Varan, they decide to have their wedding before they leave for the Hai System. Having the wedding quickly is meant to give the public confidence that life goes on with the Royal family at the helm, no matter what.

With the invasion causing more and more deaths, the need to get to Hai, in order to find new allies, is even greater and all of Adelina’s diplomacy and language lessons have never been more necessary. Having the love and support of Varan, who becomes closer to her every day, and Nadyah and the tolerance of Roxy, enables the planning to go smoothly, despite the tight deadlines.

Becoming the Heir, is something that pushes Adelina further into her dominance. She isn’t afraid of her inner wolf anymore, even if other people are.

There is a lot of heart break in this book, interwoven with the usual incredible plot development, world building and character depth. There is so much going on in this book, as there is in every book in the series, that you never really see what is coming next. I’m constantly being blindsided with plot twists. I LOVE it when that happens.

You really should read this series because it’s excellent!
