Fiiiiinally we're gaining a story here! Granted, this 3rd Fierce story is only getting one extra ⭐ from me. It's better than the 1st two. Mina must prove she can be trained as a warrior in order to convince the Dragon Enclave to give up their plans to make war with the humans. Not all humans are bad afterall! Sheesh.
While she is being tested with her bonded dragon, her friend Caiden is doing the same. What happens when they meet again?

in this installment Mina learns to fight with a sword and shoot arrows and use a bow on Dragon back. She stays with the dragons and learns "Copper"'s true name since he promised to tell her once he trusts her. His True Name is Gedrith and she is his bonded rider. After a battle with sand worms, and arrig killing the Worm King Mina goes back to Lord Klodian's keep to tell him what is going on with other Lord's in the realm.

My enthusiasm for this series is waning. The books are getting shorter and shorter, and the characters, despite some promise, never develop any depth. This series is simply a quick read with a story line that is catchy enough to see how it ends. If you're looking for superficial and quick, this series is your ticket.

This is definitely getting good. A nice read for a YA series. I'm excited for the final book. The main character has definitely changed from a whiner to someone whose becoming a heroine. I love the main Dragon 🐉

This series has been enjoyable. I'm listening to the audiobooks which are fantastic. We follow the 2 paths of Mina and Caden. Both have found themselves in positions they never anticipated. Adventure, magic and dragons at their best.

I want to like the story buuut

It's a little wooden at times, and the plot gets a little thin. By the end, I had to grind my way through the final chapters. I liked the first book and bought the series. I'm am hoping beyond hope it gets better.

I loved this book I just wished it went on longer. I did enjoy the series of books. If you love dragons and adventures you will enjoy this book but you must follow the series of books.
