A Tale of Two Dragons (Dragon Kin, #0.5)

by G.A. Aiken

Braith of the Darkness is in a pickle. Her father has betrayed Queen Addiena and now the Queen wants her head - even if she had nothing to do with it. But Addolgar the Cheerful refuses to let Braith sacrifice herself - especially once she's saved his life. And so then the whole Cadwaladr clan get involved.

I didn't like this as much as the other books in the series. I just didn't really like Braith or Addolgar as much as the others. Still, there was lots of action, plenty of humour and snark galore. I love the Cadwaladr clan and their interactions always make me smile. It's not the best book of the series, but entertaining all the same. 3 stars.
