Traveling with her dragon and her djinn – the conversations between these three were so great – they infiltrate the Emperor’s magical shields on the land. This was a very quick read, but it still had a good dose of adventure, and I was able to meet some characters that I’m pretty sure will have some major actions to play in series as we move forward.
The magic of the land and the emperor’s control over it were also detailed a little more, and his plans and schemes are starting to be revealed to the reader. There are some very interesting ideas here, but I can’t say much more without giving some big things away.
This is definitely a series of books that need to be read in order! I hope it continues to show as the adventures of each heart-bearer as they make their way back into the world to fight the emperor and his evil plan. I am thoroughly enjoying this unique land and the creatures within it.
