Dragon Rift

Riders of Fire, Book Three - A Dragons' Realm Novel

De: Eileen Mueller

Narrado por: Caitlin Davies

A captive dragon master. A dangerous rift between mages and riders. And a secret weapon that will tear Dragons’ Realm apart.

When Ezaara’s powerful dragon master, Roberto, is captured by Commander Zens, her world is thrown into turmoil.

Why is the council refusing to rescue Roberto, her clandestine lover?

And why do the caverns of Dragons’ Hold echo with whispers of a prophecy unfulfilled? A prophecy that says she has no right to be Queen’s Rider.

As tension mounts, with an attempt on her life, Ezaara must take action to prevent Commander Zens from destroying her lover and Dragons’ Realm.

Kierion, a dragon rider and prankster, wants to bridge a bitter feud between dragon riders and mages, but his reputation prevents anyone from taking him seriously.

If mages and riders stand united, Dragons’ Realm might stand a chance against Commander Zens’ new secret weapon.

But when Kierion takes matters into his own hands, he risks more than he realises.

How will Roberto survive Zens’ torture? How can Kierion heal the rift? And how can Ezaara save the people she loves?

Dragons Galore!

Dragons Galore!
Ezaara still faces opposition, especially with Roberto all because of who is father was, but they find out, the actions of his father, may not have been his own. Roberto must find out what's going on, and in doing so is captured. It's up to Ezaara and some other fantastic characters, including some wizards who appear and start kicking butt with magic!!! to save him, and to unite old alliances.
This book was fantastic! The narration, wonderful. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series!

Does it again.

I enjoyed this story, even more when the mages arrived. I understand that is a bit of a romance but it was a little thick and even a bit whiney at times. That did not stop my enjoyment at all though. I need the next one.

Good continuation of the series

I have finished the first three audiobooks in a pretty short time. There are many things that I love about about all of them. The characters are wonderful, with a depth that is brought out over time. In the first two books, I felt like things developed too quickly without enough back story. After finishing the third, I am beginning to appreciate the slow release of background information. I also love the narrator, who does a great job despite the large number of characters.

In this third book, there were a few things bothered me a little. It might sound like I did not like the book, but you usually have to really like a book and a series to have things bother you about them. I will withhold final judgement until I get a little farther into the series, since it is possible the problems will work themselves out like the missing back stories in the first two, My first disappointment is in the back story of the villain of the series, Zens. There seems to be an attempt to make him a little more human...to explain how he became such a despicable person. Sometimes I don't want to know why a character became evil...I just want to be able to accept that they are evil and leave it at that. Similarly, if too many of the "bad guy" characters turn out to have been forced to be bad, I feel cheated. I want to have a few bad characters that are simply bad for the sake of greed or hunger for power, and not because they are drugged or brainwashed. Sometimes there is just evil in the world. And finally, much of the first three books have invested a lot of time breeding discord, division, and sometimes even hatred in in individuals and groups that will have to eventually work together. It felt like too many of those were resolved in this book with relative ease...one moment they are sworn enemies, never to work together, and the next it's "I'm sorry I was such a fool, can you ever forgive me?" Maybe these issues say more about me than about the stories, that I don't want simple happy endings and happily ever afters.

Despite the reservations mentioned above, this series of books is definitely worthy of a careful read or listen, as they are very entertaining.

I was given a free copy of this audiobook, at my request, en exchange for a fair review.

Ugh! I need book 4!

I go through audiobooks pretty quickly, switching between my favorite genres. I had thought I was out of dragon rider series but found this one. I have ADD so if a book does not keep my attention I may as well be listening to nothing. Every moment I could this series was going through cooking, cleaning, working, and as I fell asleep. I love the characters and now that I know it’s possible that Zens may be creating their own dragons I can’t wait for the next book, but where is the audiobook?! I see there are 3 more!

Even better than the last!

Thus far, this has been one of those series that just keeps getting better. I love the way the different paths the characters take intertwine to create a ripple effect for good or bad.

With this audiobook, I would highly recommend listening to the first two books in the series before this one as you may end up a bit lost otherwise.

And as I said in my review of the second book— Caitlin Davies is quickly climbing the ranks of my favorite narrators and the same can be said for the author, Eileen Mueller. The way they weave the points of view and tap into the essence of the characters is very nice and keeps you on your toes. So if you are looking for an action packed story full of family, friendship, and love, then this is most definitely something you should give a shot.
