I am very bias when it comes to the dragonlins of Valdier. They are so cute and get in to some of the most delightful events. The re-connection with the women of Earth and they alien lovers and the family they built. Watching as they get educated on various holiday's from their mothers' home world.
Abby and the ladies make the introduction of Easter the the dragonlins and their alien husbands. The things they get into was full of laughs. And in audio we have David giving familiarity with each of the characters and the world I have come to love so much.
I was going to do this detailed instruction manual of what incredibly complicated order to read the books in, but life is too short! Basically, I read books 2-5 at the same time, skipping between them at points of intersection of the books! Because! Spoilers! Ye flippin' gods the spoilers between books. And it irritated me. I had to keep going to the next book (books 6 to... 9?) because the previous book was spoiling. I skipped the sex scenes. I started reading the series because my Amazon kept suggesting I should read the Dragonling's Christmas and such. I wanted the adorableness!!! And they were adorable... But thank gods I'm out of that interminable morass of nonsense!! Ah, plenty of continuity errors, mostly timeline.
Easter was always very special to my grandmother. She would buy plenty of eggs and dyes for me and my cousins. We would all spend time dying and decorating them. She would then send my uncles to hide them around the yard for us to find. The Dragonlings Easter was pretty much the exact same thing, only the grown ups didn't have quite as much fun as the Lords of Valdier. Great short!
A short funny read, a catch up with the characters, was funny to see the guys try to out smart the kids and poor Vox lol and a visit with Grandma Pearl that turns out interesting :)
Smith is an amazing author. She has brought her series and characters to life. What an awesome bit of storytelling with lot of love and laughs. I can't wait for the next part of this series!!!
I can never say enough about this series and the characters within. The characters are complex and engaging. It is easy to get lost in this world of wonder. Come along and join the rest of us
I didn't know what to think a bout Easter Egg hunt on Valdier but it was funny and heart warning all at the same time, even for an adult to read I loved every thing about this story keep going miz Smith you are brilliant
Have re-read this and the rest of the Dragonling series numerous times, love them all as well as the original Dragons of Valdier series . Funny, sweet and a way to catch up with the cast of the previous books.Can't wait for the next one
The Valdier dragons and dragonlings get to experience the earth holiday Easter. Colored eggs, the Easter bunny and lots of fun. Dragon's love eggs so it's the males against the dragonlings with a few Curizan and Sarafin thrown in for good measure.
DELICIOUSLY CUTE, DEVILISHLY FUN AND OUTRAGEOUSLY FUNNY!!! Title: A Dragonlings' Easter Series: Dragonlings of Valdier Designation: Book One, Standalone Short Story, NO Cliffhanger Author: S.E. Smith My Rating: FIVE DEVILISHLY CUTE STARS***** OMG!!! I love, love, love this story! S.E. Smith has knocked it out of the park with A Dragonlings' Easter, the very first book in her brand new outrageously funny series, Dragonlings of Valdier. Although I noted above that this story can be read as a standalone, it will be so much more entertaining if you've already read the books in Smith's Dragons of Valdier, Curizan Warrior and Sarafin Warriors Series. This book features most of the couples from the aforementioned series along with their children who have quickly become toddlers and are more than ready to take center stage in this adventure. Smith has given us a cast of exceptionally mischievous dragonlings, a rambunctious tiger cub and a female Curizan who is still an infant. This is an exceptionally well crafted and beautifully written story featuring an Easter Egg Hunt on Valdier supposedly for the children but of course, the men who are nothing more than overgrown kids themselves, decide to horn in on all the fun and complete chaos ensues! Let the games begin! You'll have to read the book to find out if the woman can rein in their husbands long enough for the children to find the eggs. I don't think those little terrors have a thing to worry about. It seems Aikaterina always has her eye on them! And what a wonderful surprise near the end of the story when Pearl learns the hard way - what goes around, comes around, even for an 60 year old grandma! Oh my! Most adorable story - ever! Deliciously cute, devilishly fun and outrageously funny! I can hardly wait until all the dragonlings and their little partners in crime grow up to each have a book of their own! Deliciously cute, devilishly fun and outrageously funny!
Abby decides to hold an Easter hunt for the Valdier royal offspring and being the artist (as well as the queen) she gets everyone into the spirit. You'll see all the kids including the Sarafin and Curazin as they pair up to hunt down their eggs. The kids all go head to head with their fathers since the Dragon Lords have never had an experience like Easter before. The fathers soon learn that it'll take more than their determination to beat their children to the eggs. Of course, as is natural where family gatherings are concerned, our group of mothers are found laughing at their mates antics and applauding their children. as it should be.
I love this world and the dragonlings make it more than amazing. I can't even find the words when I read their stories- it's emotional and it warms your heart and makes it burst with joy and love. It's MAGICAL. So, when you feel down and you need to remember that there are good and wonderful things still left in this world then take one of this dragonlings book, heck, take any of S. E. SMITH books because the lady does some wickedly good penmanship. Her stories remind me of all the things that make life worth living. So, come on people, take a seat on the crazy and loveable Dragonlings' train.

This review is from: A Dragonlings' Easter (Dragon Lords of Valdier 6.5) (Kindle Edition)
S.E. Smith surprised us with an awesome fun Easter story. I loved revisiting all her heroes and heroines from her Dragons of Valdier and spinoff series'. We are brought up to date on how their adorable, mischievous dragonlings, cat shifter and other children, as well as a hilarious visit from Grandma Pearl. All the books in these connected series are awesome and if this novella was a great treat.
If you are a fan of the Dragons of Valdier than you are sure to love this companion novella to the series. Title is pretty self explanatory. The human mates are missing some of the traditions from Earth so they decide to color and hide Easter eggs for their children. Well the men have never experienced egg hunting and their dragons love boiled eggs so they set out to hunt as well only to be thwarted at every turn by there young. Just because the story is not complete without them we get to see Vox and Riley with their son and Ha'van and Emma with their daughter.
If you hate spoilers, you will want to wait to read this until after you finish the whole series. That means all the dragon lords books, at least up to Paul's Pursuit, and Vox and Hav'en books. If you do not wait, couples and babies wil l be given away.
This is a fun little visit with the characters we have come to love. The babies are adorable!! This is mostly a fun read, but is dies start off with a bit of smexing in dragon form. Consider yourself warned!!
It may be a short story but Ms. S.E. Smith never fails to deliver! Just like her other books it was filled with love, adventure and most importantly fun! I enjoyed reading more about the little ones and their antics. There are revelations that will surprise you yet will leave you hanging and wanting more. As always I am very thankful for reading this book and cant wait for Halloween or Christmas to come!!
I don't normally read short stories, but I'm glad I downloaded this one.. I laughed reading about the antics of the dragonlings, but mostly it was their Dad's trying to get the Easter eggs before their "dragonling babies" got them. The extent that the "babies" went to keeping the eggs away from the grownups, I loved it. S.E. Smith is now on my Amazon list of collecting the rest of her books.. Definitely a Keeper!!
