About the author

Lena Austin is a "fallen" society wench with a checkered past. She has been a licensed minister, haidresser, and a realtor, radio DJ, exotic dancer, telephone service tech, live-steel medievalist swordswoman, BDSM Mistress, and investment property manager. Not necessarily in that order. She never finished that degree in archaeology, but did learn to scuba. After a life that, gardening is pretty restful. Of herself, Lena writes, "I'm tall, presently red-haired, and I look like an holy mating between an Amazon and a librarian."

Reviews

[Don Bradshaw · Rating 2 out of 5]

I'm writing this review of the trilogy as if it was one book as neither story can really be read as a stand alone. The idea behind this story is great. Austin took the old song Puff The Magic Dragon and wove it into a story of love, magic and politics. I'm a sucker for good fantasy stories and this story could have been great. I enjoyed the characters and the magic of shifting dragons and even the mundane Earth versus the magical Honalee. What really bothered me was the way the story unfolded through a multitude of flashbacks. Everything was explained to Jack either by his lover dragon, his mother or another character. Jack never got to experience much on his own which left the main character pretty flimsy and clueless.

Loved it. Had some funny moments and was from a different point of view, of course, so that was interesting. I look forward to more books by Lena Austin.
