Critic reviews

“Plenty of action.”(Locus)

Incredible work

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I believe that it is as good as any other novel she has written. It thoroughly captures the evil of slavery using a very powerful story.

An early work worth the listen

This is one of Patricia Brigg's earlier works, and it shows in some parts. Overall though I liked this story, and would like to see more stories from Sianim.

Surprisingly Good!

My expectations were not high since the characters were different. How could this be as good as the last? It exceeded my expectations and I couldn't put it down. So many twists and turns in the story kept me guessing as to what would happen. The narrator's performance was great!

theses stories were fun and activating

I have had the pleasure of reading this book. I enjoyed hearing hearing it even more.

good, not great, but good

Would you consider the audio edition of Steal the Dragon to be better than the print version?

no

Would you be willing to try another book from Patricia Briggs? Why or why not?

i love patricia briggs, and i love most of her books (the Mercy Thompson Series is a must read), so i had high hope for this book (i loved masques) but i didn't fall in love with any for the charaters (like i did with wolf).

Have you listened to any of Jennifer James Bradshaw’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

i have heard her in The hob's Bargan and it was ok, but i would have had Katherine Kellgren read all of the Sianim Series.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

no

Any additional comments?

dont think of it as part of Sianim Series (Masques and Wolfsbane) think of it as its own book.

I enjoyed the book and performance equally

both were what I expect from Patricia Briggs and anyone who works with her. I hope there's a sequel.

Dreamy voice.

I enjoyed the narrator's dreamy voice with this story. It's exactly how I would expect Rialla's voice to sound like. The characters were distinctive from each other and she spoke in a consistently controlled cadence that was easy to listen to and understand.

Excellent series.

As stated above an excellent series, also a great stand alone story.
Jennifer Bradshaw again another great job as narrator.
A fun way to spend a rainy afternoon.

Steal the Dragon is another star hit for Ms. Briggs

Love this world that Patricia has created and the depth of each character in this story. The strength of the women in the story Patricia is always an encouragement to read and listen to on audible. This story takes many twist and turns and has you cheering for the underdog.

A Nicely Different Story

The way this story starts out and then how it develops kept me listening. In other words, I couldn’t “put it down”! There are characters that I quickly grew to care deeply about. Definitely recommend.
