Dragons Realm

Dragons Realm Saga, Book 1

De: Tessa Dawn

Narrado por: Mikael Naramore

From the best-selling author of the Blood Curse series comes a new legend of danger, dark fantasy, and vampiric dragons....

Mina Louvet is a fighter, a human with a powerful will to survive in a world dominated by warlocks, soul-eaters, and shifters. Identified by the king's witch as one of the rare, invaluable females in Dragons Realm who can give birth to a dragon's son, she was stolen from her parents as a child and taken to the Keep to be reared in the ways of the Ahavi. As one of the few, the elect - the Sklavos Ahavi - Mina is expected to feed her master's fire, reanimate his blood, and above all else, give him strong dragon offspring: children who will one day rise to power. But Mina, to her great misfortune, is far too intelligent for her own good: She has a stubborn sense of justice, and she is wholly incapable of blind submission.

Dante Dragona is as cunning as he is lethal, as methodical as he is dangerous, and as terrifying as he is powerful. As the eldest of three dragon princes, he is destined to succeed his merciless father to the throne of Castle Dragon. But first he must do his duty to the Realm by governing one of its harsh, unforgiving districts and claiming a Sklavos Ahavi. Hardened by the sadistic abuse he endured as a child and shaped by the tragic suicide of his twin, the prince lives only to fulfill his obligations to the monarchy: to maintain law and order in a bestial land, to contain its magical inhabitants, and to keep the kingdom safe from its mortal enemies, the Lycanian shifters across the sea. Like all primordial dragons, he rules with an iron fist, dominates with absolute power, and punishes with fire. Those who oppose him die a swift and brutal death - subject, enemy, or slave, the Realm has no tolerance for weakness.

When the iron resolve of a dragon prince clashes with the stubborn will of a slave, bonds will be broken, alliances will be tested, and a kingdom will be set ablaze.

DRAGONS REALM HAS IT ALL!!!

Storytelling. Original world building. And bite your nails suspense. Dragons Realm truly has it all. I had no idea what I was in for with this new Tessa Dawn book, but what I found was rich and descriptive world building, astoundingly real and intricate characters, and a story that rips the heart out of your chest and puts it back again. More than once. Loved it from start to finish!
Mikael Naramore was a perfect fit for this story! He really brought the characters and the setting to life. I felt like I was actually there!

Tessa rocks the Realm again!

It's is so good! I loved every word! From page one I was hooked. I kept procrastinating so that it would not End! It is that GOOD!

The characters are described so fully that you feel like you are standing there with them. Twists and turns, good and evil.
I love Dante and Mina. I'm glad for the way things turned out with Damian. I cant to know all of their stories, even the crazy King. And, Cassidy, I know shes up to something no good. I see what 5 or 6 more books? I sure hope so!
Thank You Tessa for another chart topping book, that will stay with me.

Simply Superb!

Would you listen to Dragons Realm again? Why?

Yes! The story line was outstanding! Page turner. Excellent pace. Robust world building.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dragons Realm?

When Dante cut off his brother's...................spoiler alert........HEAD!

Which scene was your favorite?

My favorite scene was when when Dante rescued Mina's sister.

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

The story made me laugh and cry. When a story makes me laugh and cry, I actually "write" a review and not simply rate it. The characters were well developed. The story was not your typical hero saves girl and girl is a bad ass that needs to be defiant at every turn. This story had the perfect amount of complexity, perfect amount of brutality and was not all roses and happy-happy. It was deep and kept my attention.

Any additional comments?

The narrator is one of the best. I use to have just one favorite narrators (Phil Giante), but now I have two to include Makael Naramore! I've read/listened to Tessa Dawn books before and they were good so I already knew her work but she took it to another level with this book. Tessa has "skillz" and is a true story teller. What an enjoyable tale.

Engaging story but feels like a first novel...

After listening to it, I was surprised by all of the 5 star ratings this book had. The concept, pace and plot of this story are fantastic with genuinely surprising twists. It did keep me engaged to the end BUT there was something noticeably missing. The world building was minimal and I did not finish the book having a good feel for the actual realm it took place in. I also found the dialogue abysmal and Mina to be a weak and whiny character. A lot of my issues with Mina though could be contributed to the narrator though. I did not enjoy the way this book was read. I may eventually look into the next book, but not right now.
