I am thoroughly enjoying the glimpses Grant is giving us of the previously mated Kings and their mates. Although this makes it difficult for someone who has not read the previous books or who is not familiar with the series to follow along the many intricate interweaved stories, seeing where they are at this point in time is like having an added epilogue to their books. Fans of Grants other series will be happy to note that the Warriors also make an appearance several times.

As with life, it looks as if nothing will ever come easy to the Kings. We still have an unknown enemy threatening them and in turn mankind. The Dragon mates and anyone they care about being targeted, it looks as if a war will be inevitable. The only question remains is who is the enemy that they will be fighting.

I, like any other avid reader of the Dragon King series have been keeping mental notes on different characters. In my case, none more so than Rhi and her mysterious Dragon King lover. The more glimpses and hints we get the more eager I am to know who it is. With Laith now firmly focuses on Iona, we can eliminate him from the running. I cant wait to read more!

Finally, someone who wrote a plan for me personally.  I don't feel like I've been lost in the masses of people looking for a way to feel better.  It has all clicked and I can't wait to get started.

Awwwwwwww the kiddies have all grown up and getting their own stories. I was sad to see the end of Damon's mountain and the crews but now it's a new mountain, beginning with Harper and Wyatt's story and excited doesn't begin to describe how I feel. A brilliant beginning with it's own 1010. Lets hope that the magic of the original carries over to the new and I look so forward to seeing the babies all grown up and getting their own HEA. Well done!

My only complaint about this book was that it took me a lot longer to really get into it. The other books in the series had me trapped in the story from the beginning and it just wasn't the case this time. I loved that we are introduced to a new cast of characters with our favorites still making an appearance. A few of our questions from past books are answered but we are left with a few more that leave me looking forward to the next book.

This episode really ramps things up a notch, and the last lines are sigh worthy. I love this pairing.

I have been in heaven, working through the The Kraken King serials, and I have to say though that even with the week between parts, I wouldn't want to wait for the all in one volume instead - some of my favorite authors have been training me to like serials so I am in the right frame of mind for The Kraken King.  The wait isn't as hard as I thought it would be, and it is always exciting to get a new installment, and it's nice not to wait a whole year for *more*.

In the Kraken King so far, there is a good touch of adventure, a bit of humor, and the detailed world building that made me a fan of the Iron Seas in the first place and which makes these new stories so entertaining. But the leads are really what seal the deal for me. Zenobia and Ariq (the Kraken King) are both such great developed characters and the way their relationship is unfolding - despite a few stumbles - is really really good. *happy sigh*

With only four more episodes to go, part four ends the first half solidly but with promises of a wild and steamy ride to come.

(I got an early peek at this, but I also purchased a copy of my very own for my 'keeper shelf' - the gorgeous covers look very nice there by the way:)

I got this when it was on sale and I purchased it with the intent to introduce my nephew to this series.  In all honesty though, I feel like I will be more into this than he will, and I am okay with that.  Haven't started watching them yet, but plan on updating this review after watching the DVDs to comment on any additional perks of the set.

I am not in the habit of reading as frequently as I once did, sadly. When I finally got started on this book I did not want to put it down. I greatly enjoyed the introduction of new characters in book 2 and the twists that seem to keep popping up. Once again the characters relationships are the real story, and I am looking forward to further developments to come.

In this volume, Norio (monkey-cat) and Kunimasa (leopard) show they are growing into adults. For them, it's a painful process of self-reflection and figuring out priorities. I'm excited that a certain someone is finally showing his powers. At some point, he's going to have to fight to get the man he wants, and I'm looking forward to seeing him do more than talk and cry.

The Christmas bonus is interesting, if a bit hard to follow. We learn more about how the main couples see their relationships and how two of the scariest woman in the world met. Just about every couple who didn't make it into the main story this volume shows up.

There are many fun, lovely, and unexpected moments here. But, mostly, I'm happy to see more Pride First (mer-lion). His existence isn't like the others, but that's what makes his obsession with what's in the physical world so interesting.

I would recommend this to anyone who started the series and started wondering if it's worthwhile.

What prevented five stars from me are a few confusing moments of dialogue where the translator appeared to struggle. I'm still not sure what was said.

Through this book I'm getting much closer to a personal 'grand unified theory' of people. I am more than grateful.
