Royal Dragon Renegade by Ava WardMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Re-Binding Her Dragons
This book continues from book 7 and cannot be read separately from the rest of the series if you want to understand what is going on.
The first half of this book starts quite slowly. It’s basically all about Layla reconnecting with the dragons from her bind that she was cut off from in a previous book. Everyone thought they would re-bind as soon as Layla returned from Hunter’s realm, but everyone’s emotions prevented it. This book deals with each dragon and Layla’s problems and how they work through it.
Things start to ramp up with Adrian because he is holding back from the bind for some reason and Layla doesn’t want to push him but also doesn’t want to let it go for too long. She has a fine line to walk.
This really is a superb series and the world that this author has created never seems to dim in beauty. Ava Ward’s descriptions are vivid and enthralling, though I have to say there were a few places where her adjective choice seemed a little strange. She also repeated a lot of her adjectives, even the strange ones, which made them more noticeable. It felt a little like she became fixated on a word and just used it repeatedly, whether it was relevant or not. One example is the use of the word disastrous or disastrously that got used repeatedly and I don’t think it really works when describing someone’s eye colour as “..a hot, disastrous turquoise.” This really was the only niggle as far as I was concerned. I enjoyed the whole book as much as the rest of the series, so I can accept the occasional odd word selection, even if it is a little distracting.
The last book in the series is next and I don’t know if I want to read it immediately to know how it all ends or delay it as long as possible so I don’t have to finish the series. I know, sometimes I’m a little strange in my choices!
