Dragon Dance

Lunes & Lords #2

by Emily Ryan-Davis, E.R. Davis

Self-preservation, not cowardice, drove Cora Phillips to run from the supernatural intrigues surrounding Salim Aridi, Greg Cho, and their respective dragon aspects. She spent a year rebuilding a sense of normalcy, and she learned to cope with the risidual nightmares that followed her brief collision with modern myth.

The moment Salim loses control, however, the dragons demonstrate just how meaningless human distance really is and return to remind Cora that dragon ties are not so easily broken.

I'm struggling between 2 and 3 here. The reason for the low rating is two-fold. One, I've kind of lost track of what is happening here. There is something about a pearl. One minute Greg is forcing it on her; the next he is beating her to get it back and then he's telling her to take it. I'm lost. I don't know what he actually wants from her. Plus she's supposed to choose a dragon, then seems to think she can claim one and mate one. I don't know.

Two, like the first book (but worse) it just ends. I mean it just suddenly ends. This is by no means a complete novel on it's own. Nope, not even by stretching the definition of novella does this qualify as anything complete. Irritatingly it's not a beginning of anything either, being the middle book. So on it's own it just the middle of a story. Who picks up a book and just reads the middle third? No one I know.

But why not just a one start then? Because despite my tenuous grasp of what is actually happening I am invested in how the story eventually comes to fruition. (I just hope I don't get to the end of the third one and find it's not the end of the series.) And I generally think the writing is pretty good. Pending the third book contains an ending I would strongly post my preference to see the story firmly ensconced in a single binding. There doesn't seem to be any real reason for it to be three books. It just creates frustration for the reader.

I like the idea behind the story but all 3 book are really slow to read through,i really didn't like the main female character Cora she's very childish and selfish, i got lost through the books wondering if I'd miss something and hated with a passion the cliff hanger at the ends of each 1, even though there was a happy ending for the main characters i really didn't enjoy this book at all. i gave it 2 start mostly because the story the idea of witches and dragon mates did appeal to me.

The second book, which I purchased after getting the first for free from Amazon, left me questioning why I was still reading this series. It slowly spiraled into a black hole of a literary nightmare. Yet I kept going since I had purchased the third along with the second.

Ugh!!! Cora!!! She's the type of character that just makes a person want to do her bodily harm! Smh... I hope she shapes up in the third part.
Overall the story isn't a bad one. Much more action in this one, but I hope, the best is yet to come.

*squints* I don't understand this book at all but the end had a TERRIBLE cliffhanger so I guess I'll read the next one 🙄 even though I'd much rather not.

Onwards.

not rating this book bc Libby has it listed as a standalone and learning it’s the second book in a series makes sense why i was so confused listening to it

[Victoria F · Rating 2 out of 5]

‘Sup, ill give it a 2.5/5 stars. Would not reread or recommend. Audiobook.

For a Novella or short book like this I feel too much was going on. I get this is a series and not even the first book, but it is the first I read(which was my choice, submitting to the possibility that I would not understand the story.)
I would recommend to read from beginning to really not be as lost if you start here. It’ll help you understand the overall story and world easier. Although you can kind of grasp the situation a bit.
What I’m saying is there are many series with books that can be read as standalone novels, this is not one of those.

So this book was to satisfy my need for reading some sexy times, I feel like the book alluded to more than it delivered.

Later.

I attempted the audio book version and couldn't get past 5 min of listening so this is not a book reveiw but a rant. Who hired that woman to read this book? She has such a dull, mechanical and robotic way of reading I couldn't even stand to listen to it! yuck!!
Will possibly attempt to read this actual book in the future but in the meantime they deserve my 1 star rating for picking such a horrible voice to read the audio version. I'm still cringing.

Cora realized that she was in way over her head. She needed the time to think. But was it enough. This dance of the dragons brings her even more of uncertainty in her life. Back to Salim and trying to figure things out.

This novel just keeps getting more and more confusing, it is seriously making my brain go in circles.

didn't finish

[Tanya · Rating 3 out of 5]

I like the idea, but I feel the author rushed through and ended abruptly, all in all a good read.
