About a Dragon by G.A. Aiken

 

3.5 Stars

Nolwenn witch Talaith was taken right after she had given birth, separated from her daughter, and given to a man to serve a god.  Not her god but another.  She will be trained to kill someone in the future when the god has decided she is needed.  What the god didn’t factor in was the villagers wanting to burn her at the stake and a dragon taking an interest in her.  Briac the Mighty figured she would be all lovey dovey for him since he rescued her.  Instead what he gets is someone who argues and fights with him all day and night.  He’s not sure if this is bad.  They will need to work together to keep the kingdoms safe and reunite Talaith with her daughter.

I didn’t like this book as much as the last one.  Part of it comes down to the fact the two main characters like to argue about everything and for me it got old fast.  I liked how it intersected with the previous book and builds onto Dragon Actually.  They also set up the next book nicely.  This book also had some pacing issues where I was wanting it to move on already.  It wasn’t a bad book just kind of a let down from the last book that was so awesome.

Hollie Jackson did an amazing job bring to life the new characters while stay true the characters from the last book.
