Dragonmark (The Dark-Hunter World) (Dark-Hunter, #25)

by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Sherrilyn Kenyon returns with the next addictive novel in her globally bestselling Dark-Hunter series . . .

Centuries ago, Illarion was betrayed - a dragon made human against his will, then forced to serve humanity as a dragonmount in their army, and to fight for them in barbaric wars, even while he hated everything about them. Enslaved and separated from everyone he knew and from his own dragon brothers, he was forced into exile in a fey realm where he lost the only thing he ever really loved.

Now he has a chance to regain what's been lost - to have the one thing he covets most. But only if he gives up his brothers and forsakes the oaths he holds most dear. Yet what terrifies him most isn't the cost his happiness might incur, it's the fact that there is just enough human in his dragon's heart that he might actually be willing to pay it and betray everything and everyone - to see the entire world burn . . .

Reviews

[littleread1]

over half the book was nearly word for word scenes from 2 others. kind of a let down.

[wyvernfriend]

More 3.5 than 4.

Illarion was betrayed and forced to serve humanity as a dragonmount, then he found love and she was torn from him, now he's trying to ensure that he doesn't lose his treasure to those who intend evil and instead find redemption.

Some of it just felt a bit rushed and there were a lot of coincidences.

80% of Dragonmark was exactly the same as Dragonbane... which made for a lot of flipping back and forth to actually get any of Illy's story. I understand that this story mostly unfolded at the same time - but there was so much that was identical it was a disappointment.
