I tend to skip reviews on well known authors and stories that have tons of reviews.  But with the Dragon Kin series I've kept up and it's worth taking the time to review.  It's funny.  This series was pointed out to me years ago and on finishing the first book I couldn't see what the fuss was about.  A hermit dragon in his cave reading books?  I read Dragon Actually and all I could think is. . . It's been done.  This is nothing new.  I was bored.  So I sold it at a resale shop and gave up.  But then I was encouraged to keep reading and I did.  Like others, it wasn't until the third book that I was hooked.  Even the second was off putting.  Who wants to read about a couple that continually argues with each other?

So with that said, yes I snatch up each Dragon Kin story as it comes out.  Amazingly enough I don't forget names, family connections, or anything else with this series.  That says a lot about Aiken's writing.  I can't say I'd be able to pronounce the names. . . But they aren't forgotten.  So this story is a step away from the Southland dragons and focuses on Gaius, the Rebel King, ruler with his twin sister of another kingdom.  We met him before and there's enough background story to know how we met him, what his situation is, his family relationships, and how he knows Annwyl.

Yes we get updates on all our favorite characters.  I enjoyed seeing an older and more mature Annwyl as a ruler, mother, and  wife.  She's always been one of my favorites with her blades lopping off heads.  I loved how her 'madness' attracted a following and those ladies were just as crazy.  I kept expecting a dragon to jump one. .. . I happen to agree with  Gaius.  Southland dragons are so entertaining and easy to rile.

When Gaius fought his cousin and was taken  -- That fight was up close, bloody, and dark.  In comparison the fight between Annwyl and her daughter was distant, more focus on reactions to the fight instead of the fight itself.  I noticed a change in writing.
Gaius's aunt which is now 'with her God' is more than dragon and something with tentacles.  My son reminded me she sacrificed her body to house the God (I'd forgotten that) - But still.  Slimy tentacles?  Just ick.  What does that make her children?

Some fun parts --
'Mountain movers' takes on new meaning, especially when  Gaius get's it.
Dagmar giving the nod over. .. . . . . Hair removal.
There were others but can't mention them all due to page space.  Another great book for this fun series.  A keeper.  - Dan's Wife

This series is the best one I think I have ever read. With characters that have been developed in earlier books coming back in the series with a little back story for those who have not read the previous books. All books in the series can stand on their own, but read in order, they tell an incredible tale. I am always checking to see when the next book will be available and preorder it the day I see it. I devour them, they are so well written and interesting, worthwhile reading.

I found this series quite a few years ago, and have treasured it ever since.  But after reading it the first time, I wrote a letter to Ms. Murphy asking after a fourth.  She told me she had plans for one, called The Dragon Council.  Ms. Murphy, if you ever see this, I'm still patiently waiting.

These books just keep getting better and better.  Early on in any series there is the challenge of the writer getting familiar with his characters and sometimes even his craft itself. Later, as the writer and reader become extremely familiar with the characters, the challenge becomes keeping the characters true to themselves, not breaking the timelines, etc. This series has evolved through some of the earlier challenges into book after book of interesting twists and challenges, expanding and maturing relationships and an evolving quality to the story telling. I love this series and how careful Butcher has been to protect and keep the characters to their true selves over time. As I near the end of one book, I am already looking forward to what will path will be taken in the next.

No one takes a beat down like Harry and his band of allies. You have to stop and take a breath during unbelievable fast moving battles that won't allow you to put the book down.  Familiar characters are not untouchable and bad things do happen to them,  the team ultimately winning (most of) the war, ready to do it all again to protect the mortal world. Refreshing.

Christine Feehan's Carpathians are fantastic. Her males are arrogant but lovable and her females are strong enough to keep up with them. I absolutely love them.

I love Dragons and add the bonus of Vikings and Highlanders, magic Oh My. I have been a fan since the MacLomains series began it has continued to develop and has kept me riveted. Thank you Miss Purington for your imagination that you cleverly have brought to life. One of my top 10 favorite series, I can not wait for the continutions of the Sigrid brothers and the Later years.

Excellent, just a Super series for any Dragon's fan.  Great humor, action, and adventure.  I have watched it 3 times already in the month since I got it.  If you like humor and good natured enjoyments I really recommend this DVD series.

If you've not read the Dragon Kin series before I highly recommend reading the first 2 books just so you get an idea about the world where this is set in and background story, otherwise you won't truly enjoy everything this book has to offer.

The entire series (book 1) started off with the love between a warrior woman and a dragon who eventually becomes a Queen who is married to a dragon and his entire family.  An entire family of Dragons Royalty that is.  The best part about the Dragon Kin is the humor in the books, it doesn't take itself too seriously and tries to to make things humorous.  I'll admit that the first 2 books were hit and misses in areas but in this 3rd book G. A. Aiken finally hits her stride.

From start to finish, you'll be laughing at the romance between Gwenvael and the Beast. I won't spoil it with spoilers but having all that background from the previous books moves this book along.  The secondary characters in this are EXCELLENT! And so is the pacing. I was chomping at the bit to find out what happens next and laughing as I read.

I loved the first book and was so so on the 2nd book.  This caused me to not pick up "What a Dragon Should Know" on day 1.  But I'm so glad I did.  This is the best book in the series and I was hardly put the book down.  If you like humor in your fantasy/romance, this is a must read.

I typically do not take the time to write reviews but I felt this series deserved it. I read a couple hundred fantasy books a year and this easily made my top ten this year and as the series is still ongoing it will remain there for years to come. The characters really are shown to you with both sides of the coin, as in seeing the good and evil and actually understanding the motivations. The story moves fast with great fighting but even in the downtime the story shines through making it enjoyable. The pricing is amazing for the series and I would have paid five times the price to read it. As a whole series and as individual books they deserve to be in a top ten fantasy list.

After reading the Dragon Prince and Dragon Star series, I was looking forward to the Chronicles series. I was very excited to read this series because I use to play the old rpgs such as Dark Queen and Death Knights and Heroes of the Lance. This book itself confirmed that Hickman and Weis know what they are writing about. I hope every book they write in Dragon Lance is as good as this one. From the beginning the action never stopped. While the companions search the ancient city for the only hope humans have left in finding the gods.

I read a lot of fantasy novels, but this is one of the best series I've read & not the usual take on dragons. What could be better than dragons + natural history + adventure + the Victorian Age? The author writes so well that I actually found myself believing that this was actually a "memoir". Get the entire series. You won't be disappointed!

I absolutely loved this book and love the new series I adore how they are all part of the same story line they all tie in and I absolutely adore dragon romance novels. Needless to say I recommend this to anyone who likes G.A. Aiken's Dragon Kin series. Not as much on the humorous side but well worth the price of the books. It is a part of a series that does originally a series of part 1 and etc. books but they do have the ones that have the full book series in one book available as well. I am currently preordered up to all the new full book formats :-D

This book has everything you want from this series: battles, monsters, and lots of witty banter. This time the action takes place in Persia, where the Romans are helping their new allies the Persians deal with a massive Malwa invasion. If you liked any of the earlier books in this series then you're bound to enjoy this one. It has the best of the battles, the best laid plans, and the coolest character moments. If any of that sounds like your thing then give it a try.

This book is my favorite of the bunch. I love having Persians and Romans fighting together for a change (historically they fought each other into pieces so bad that the Arabs came through and wiped out Persia and most of Rome), and I love seeing such well thought-out battles put together. The Malwa are at their most intimidating, and the cliches are still fresh enough that they don't hurt.

This series isn't so much about the overarching plot (which is awesome) as it is about the individual moments. The moment when a plan succeeds, or a character has a great line, or the battle scenes, etc. These are moments that stick with you. And this book has the most of them: the Persian ambassador revealing the Malwa invasion, the Romans and Persians learning to trust each other, Khusrau on the walls of Babylon, etc. All epic moments and all worth reading. That they hold together in a single plot as well is extraordinary.

This book is a sequel to&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/An-Oblique-Approach/dp/0671878654/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">An Oblique Approach</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/In-the-Heart-of-Darkness/dp/0671878859/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">In the Heart of Darkness</a>, but I'd be amiss if I didn't mention that the entire series has been released in better editions.

I'd recommend buying them that way since these books really work better in twos than on their own. The first two books take place in Rome/India, the second two in Persia, and the final two in India. A clear division.
