I am thrilled to say the series does actually wrap up here in the third book. I was a little worried that it wouldn't. There is so much potential to this story. I really really wanted to love it. I just really didn't. The whole thing was rushed, nothing was explained deeply enough, and though I initially liked most of the characters I didn't anymore by the end. Cora especially. Her indecision and refusal to face things made me want to shake her by the end. Both because I didn't appreciate her weakness as a character and because as a reader I wanted to see those things she avoided. Most of the other characters piqued my ire by simply refusing information that they could have provided and thereby avoided all of the drama. Cora's mother especially. Then after forcing Cora to deal with everyone's obfuscation, almost everyone was absolved in some fashion. In the end it felt like Ryan-Davis couldn't allow anyone to remain a bad guy. I felt cheated of my anger. Cora deserved to be angry at these people, so by extension did I as a reader.

I also found the book full of small inconsistencies, or matters that were unclear and I misunderstood. For example: one moment Miranda is informing Cora that women can't support dragons, the next she is claiming one of her own. One thing I can't complain about though is the writing or editing. Both were fine. All-in-all I'm fairly torn on how I feel about this one.

After being hooked on the first, then swimming through the second, I began my journey on the third novel in this series.

I believe it was because I was two books into a series of three that I opted not to delete it. That's the only explanation I can come up with.

The author seemed to have been in a rush. It became a jumbled mess, the main heroine really didn't grow at all through the entire novel. If anything, I believe she became more juvenile. This had all the ability to become a great series, but it fell very short of that mark. The premise behind it was a great one, but the story line, the wimpy main characters, the rushed ending, it just left me asking why I bothered to begin with.

So here we are at the end, and a lot has been revealed. Cora does get her act together (kinda) and she winds up being a "queen" of dragons. It took her three books to finally wise up and let Salim know she loves him. And Greg sure got his comeuppance! HA! Go Miranda!!
This one was much better than the second. I really enjoyed it.

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.

And there be dragons

The concept of vessels and mates all wrapped into a 2, 3 package. The greediness for power and how it warps and damages those it comes in contact with. A good read you can get your teeth into.

After reading it all, it feels unreal, incomplete and unfair. I was pretty disappointed with this ending. Is there a fourth book? A spin-off?

Cora's last step into the world of dragon's is the bounding. She has a lot of things to consume. Truths, facts, realism, all come to light in this final installment of Dragon Queen.

Enjoyed this book. Relationship between woman & dragon. Family issues cause problems with mother, daughter, and father.
