The second novel in Nora Roberts’ “Dragon Heart Legacy” trilogy, we follow Breen and her best friend, Marco, in their adventures in Talamh. The fight, to defend that which is precious, and yet stay true to your ideals- that is the lesson Breen Siobhan must learn as she Becomes exactly who she was meant to be.

Loved the first book, but this one was a bore. I struggled through it for a good year and a half! Finally finished it though, good riddance 😂

I think I'm going to really love this series when it's finished.
While the first book had a lot of good character development and world building, it dragged for me and didn't really stand on its own. It was all exposition and set up.
In that sense, book 2 is much better. There is enough happening to keep the plot moving, and enough characters to give you the slower, personal moments without dragging. It did a good job of recapping book 1 without bogging you down in it and has good lead in to book 3 without leaving you with a massive cliffhanger.
So, like I said, I think I'm going to love the series, but for me it seems like it is going to one of those where the whole is more than the sum of its parts.
