Publisher's summary

Futuristic Dragonshifting Romance

Mede of the Draig knows three things for a fact: As the only female dragonshifter of her people, she is special. She can kick the backside of any man. And she absolutely doesn't want to marry.

Mede has spent a lifetime trying to prove she's as strong as any male warrior. Unfortunately, being the special, rare creature she is, she's been claimed as the future bride to nearly three dozen Draig - each one confident that when they come for her hand in marriage, fate will choose them. When the men aren't bragging about how they're going to marry her, they're acting like she's a delicate rare flower in need of their protection.

But Mede is far from a shrinking solarflower.

Prince Llyr of the Draig knows four things for a fact: He is the future king of the dragonshifters. He must act honorably in all ways. He absolutely, positively is meant to marry Lady Mede. And she is dead set against marriage.

Llyr's fate rests in the hands of a woman determined not to have any man. With a new threat emerging amongst their catshifting neighbors, a threat whose eyes are focused firmly on Mede, time may be running out. It is up to him to convince her to be his dragon queen.

A Prequel Story

About Book 9:

Before four princes and four noblemen found their brides, before the death of the Var King Attor and the threat of the Tyoe miners, there was a time of peace on the planet of Quirlixen. It was not a strong peace, but it had lasted for quite some time between the catshifting Var kingdom and their northern neighbors the dragonshifting Draig. It lasted because both sides had very little to do with each other. It is here the dragons found their queen.

Great book

In this prequel we get to find out how king Llyr and queen Mede met and fell in love. As well as the reason behind the war between the Draig and the Var. Mede is feisty, brave, strong, stubborn and the only living female dragon. I think she might be my favorite female so far. I really liked Mede and Llyr together. I enjoyed this book. I loved the humor and the romance. The book is very well written and a must read for all paranormal readers.

I highly recommend this series. It's a really good read.

Continuity Errors

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I would class this as a beach listen or something to listen to on your way home from work. I thought the couple was a little too wide apart to work realistically, but it was still fun. Having read most of the books in this series, I was a little disconcerted by continuity issues that could have been avoided. Maybe the author thought she was addressing them, but kindof missed the mark a bit.

If you’ve listened to books by Michelle M. Pillow before, how does this one compare?

I'm resistant to this author. Her series' begin with a bang and new concept, but the later books often have little original material, mostly rehash. This one was a prequel to Dragon Lords and was actually better than her later books in this series.

What does Mason Lloyd bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The narrator was EXCELLENT! He was a pleasure to listen to and his accents gave a mystery to this book that would not have existed on the written page.

Any additional comments?

This book is standalone. You don't really need to read any of the others to 'get' this one.

destiny has a way to catching up with you

If you could sum up The Dragon's Queen in three words, what would they be?

fierce, funny, fantastic

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes it's such a fun listen and great read

Any additional comments?

I love this series and Michelle Pillow's books. This audible was funny and I enjoyed it.
If you've read or listened to any of the other books, this puts a few things in perspective ;)
I really liked Mede and Llyr together. I felt that their romance wasn't rushed and that love happened not because of sex, but because they got to know one another. It was interesting to learn a bit about Attor and how this book was influencing to the others. I enjoyed the other characters,and the roles they played.
I enjoyed listening to Mason Lloyd. I always enjoy listening to him and his lulling voice. I find his voice choices for each character entertaining, although different than what I hear, I think he does a great job

Dragon Prince Finds Love with One of a Kind Woman

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Absolutely recommend this audiobook. I have loved this series since I started reading it. This one is a "prequel" to the first book in the Dragon Lord's series. I was impressed the first time I met Queen Mede and this story gave me a new appreciation for her as a queen and mother.

What other book might you compare The Dragon's Queen to and why?

I am not sure what books I could compare The Dragon's Queen to except the other books in the series. Mede doesn't want to be a wife and especially not a mother. She wants to be a member of the Order of the Dead Dragons.

Which scene was your favorite?

I loved when Lyr comes to save Mede from Prince Attor and she ends up turning into the dragon from their legends...a dragon with wings that allows them to fly and can breathe fire. Lyr finally admits that Mede makes his crystal glow and she admits that she wants him as her husband.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, it is a great story and is very well narrated. Mason Lloyd does a wonderful narration that sucks you into the story.

Any additional comments?

The first time I met Queen Mede in the Barbarian Prince I was amazed at how poised and understanding she was with the all the brides. This book gave me a whole new view of Mede. She was a rebel in her youth and felt she had to prove to everyone that she was just as good, if not better, than the guys. Prince Llyr is so patient with her once he finally gets to meet her. Even though he lies to her about his crystal, you still can't help but love him because he will do anything for Mede.

This book really sets up the relationship between the Draig and Var for the other books. Attor didn't seem to care about what the Draig were doing since he had his own issues with his father, the Var King. Attor never notices how he is manipulated by Myrddin since Myrddin makes it appear as if it's Attor's ideas.

Fire Breathing Dragon and Regicide ...Oh My

Finally King Llyr and Queen Mede's story. This is the story that begins it all before the four Draig princes found their soulmates. It is the beginning of why King Attor wanted to end King Llyr and Queen Mede's line.

Add a fire breathing dragon and regicide and a female shifter who is so set against marriage, this is a story that gives all the background to the House of Draig.

I was given this audiobook by the author for an honest review. I was not compensated or influence in anyway for writing this review.

What did you like best about this story?

The dead dragon brother hood

Have you listened to any of Mason Lloyd’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes he does a great job

Any additional comments?

Oh wow. Well written and fun. I read this book a long time ago first before any other of the Dragon lords story and had no trouble following it. you don't have to read the other 9 first. I love the inaction of the characters, the build in story and the plot twists. Funny and romantic I couldn't ask for more. Now that I have them all in audio well there even better.

The Dragon’s Queen by Michelle Pillow

This should be the first story to this series. The story is of the Princes parents and how their father always felt the mother, even as children belonged with him. There is conflict with the other inhabitants of the planet called the Var. The prince of the Var believed Mede, the heroine, belonged to him. This is a good story and the narrator did an excellent job. HEA
