“MASTER OF DRAGONS” BY ANGELA KNIGHT
“Master of Dragons” is and eighth book in a series of novels entitled “Mageverse”, which I only found out after I read this particular installment. I would never have guessed that “Master of Dragons” was a part of such a large saga. True, there were moments when I thought it must be a continuation of some earlier story but, to be honest, you really don’t have to know the whole saga to be able to enjoy this one.
The main character, Nineva Morrow is a fairy princess and the last avatar of the goddess Semira entrapped in a sword. Because her faith is to free the goddess, Nineva is sought after by the evil forces, which caused her father, the prince, to escape to Earth and hide their true identities. One day Nineva uses her magic and by doing so attract the attention of the evil knights who kill her parents. Thus, Nineva is left an orphan, incapable of trusting anyone and tormented by horrific nightmares, in which a blue dragon burns her alive…
Kel is a beautiful and powerful dragon, who by means of magic can transform into a human at will. When he is ordered by his dragon god to protect Semira’s last avatar, he takes this task seriously and is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the princess alive. But first Kel must gain her trust… However, they are both thrown into the battle with the evil forces and the survival of the Mageverse depends upon their resolve and willingness to put the differences aside, which taking the fact that one is a fire-spitting dragon and the other could well be on the receiving end of that fire, may not be such an easy task…
“Master of Dragons” is a fairly well written book with quite a number of passionate love scenes between the characters. However, it is quite lacking as far as the plot is concerned. If one was to take out all the hot and sizzling scenes, there would not be enough to hold the story together, which really is a shame because the fairy tale has a great potential. Kel is a well-developed character that catches your attention but his female counterpart left me wishing for more.
However, if you like a story with hot sex and a wide variety of characters including witches, vampires, werewolves, shape shifters and what have you that use magic like there’s no tomorrow, you may actually enjoy it. AS for me, I know I am not going to read the other seven parts in the saga. It just didn’t catch my attention enough…
