Review written by Marie for Ever After Book Reviews! 3.5 Stars I have to be honest here. I wasn’t a HUGE fan of this book. I’ve read the first books in the series, and I enjoyed those, but with Dragon Blood being set mostly in the dragon realm, without the earth realm, I just didn’t get nearly as in to it as I had with the previous books. Now, because I know that I am just one person, with one opinion, I have to give credit where credit is due in regard to the book. In all fairness to Ms. Wilks, her intricately detailed writing is still very much present. The way she paints her worlds and her characters is still just as stunning, and her character development is still incredibly strong. These are the things that kept me reading. What I had a hard time getting in to, was the storyline. In the plot synopsis, it sounds really exciting. But in reality, it wasn’t all that exciting for me. I felt that, at times, the plot dragged, and I wasn’t a huge fan of Lily in this book. Without Rule, I feel like she’s… lacking something. With that said, it isn’t a terrible addition to the series. I have no doubt that others will LOVE the dragon realm, and will love the story itself. And I encourage them to read this book, as it continues what is originally a fantastic idea. I just hope that the next book in the series gives me, personally, something a little bit… more. ***I voluntarily read a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
