Yea!! More dragon babies!!
Obviously things go well for our four-some and a baby is born. The journey there didn't seem rushed until the end after a spy was killed. Also didn't realize she was a spy so kudos to you ladies for leaving me in the dark, not everyone can do that. I had a naughty tidbit while reading that made want to share. What if the Dragon God was a little less lonely because his oracle was "most pleasing". It wouldn't violate her celibacy oath and some religions consider the holy people married to the godmother serve. Just saying, a good devout woman deserves some heavenly lovin'. *yes I went there*

A decent ending to a decent fantasy romance series. A lot of plot points felt entirely too convenient, and the author would often recap in detail events that happened a chapter or two previously. The book probably could have been a bit shorter because of it.

Again, a decent book but nothing crazy. I hated how Trystan doubted Doreena when she was possessed but Lucien and Alistair being by her side made it all better lmao. The curse being lifted and the bit with the baby at the end were honestly as great as Lucien in the wizard territory.

Dragon’s Curse by Jasmine Walt and May Sage is book three in their The Dragon’s Gift Trilogy. Dragon’s Curse, picks up right where book two leaves off. Taldren, cousin to the princes, has been murdered and Basilla has been abducted. The false oracle and another warlock captured have also escaped and it is learned that someone on the inside has been aiding the enemy. The pieces are coming together all around, and the dragons and the elves are finally seeing who the true enemy is. Now with the abduction of the elven Princess Basilla, and her being taken back to Shadowhaven, they must act fast to save her from whatever horrible fate potentially awaits her. With the aid of their sinister spying, the warlocks know that Dareena is the key to bringing down the dragons for good. She must stay alive and be able to bring her baby into the world if the curse is to be broken. The threats are real all around them, but now the focus has shifted to the correct source of danger, and the dragons and elves are intent on ending the warlocks’ reign of terror.
Dragon’s Curse, for me, is a slow burn in action compared to book two. The storyline moves quickly, but there is more plotting and planning in this book than action. Of course there is a lot of steamy sex that will leave the glass fogged up. Book three takes place in two locations – the dragon lands and the warlock lands. The dragons know that they must learn what it is that the warlocks know and strike first if they are to win this subtle war that they are waging. As Drystan, Dareena, Lucyian and Alistair learn the depths of how deeply they have been infiltrated they quickly take steps to expose the other spies. The threat on Dareena’s life only intensifies as the fate of the dragons rests on her survival and the survival of her baby. There will be close calls, and quite a few surprises that are in store. Where one is suspected, another will be proven guilty. Where they once believed they were safe, they will find that the enemy is literally in their midst staring them in the face.
There honestly isn’t much that I don’t like about this book. The only thing that I have an issue with is Drystan when he chooses to allow his temper to get the best of him in a situation that should have been crystal clear to him. I feel like he flies off to quickly with his temper instead of stopping for a moment and really looking at the situation. So much hinges on their success and he nearly throws it all away because he wants to be a hot head.
This book has a steady pace and the action is sporadic but the drama is there. The drama is intense and the danger is intense. There is danger at every turn as you follow along with the characters as they race to learn who the real dangers are. We get to see the land of the warlocks and how advanced they are. We also see how cruel and heartless that they are. The sex scenes only get steamier so get ready for the fun! The authors write in quite a few surprises in this book and I love it. If you are hoping for an ending that encompasses everything at the end…you’re in for a treat because the authors give us exactly that. Like most trilogies/series I don’t want it to end, I want to be able to return again, but I feel that this book is well done.
Regardless, I look forward to reading more from these authors whether it’s individually or another collaboration. I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. The authors have done a fantastic job with this story and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this series, and being along for the journey with these amazing characters. If you have come this far in the series, then by all means, grab this book dive in and enjoy. It is worth reading 100%.
