Reading this book is pure magic.
It’s like being thrust into a fairytale. And that’s exactly what happens to our main character, 22 year old Claire Evans. She’s a normal, struggling college graduate from Indiana when a dragon falls from the sky into her corn field. He’s in desperate need of help and so is his world. Eventually Claire ends up in the magical world of Dragonwall.
This is actually my third time reading this book. I reread it because the author is republishing this series and I finally got my hands on it! Diving back into this world was nostalgic and magical.
This book had dragons before everyone was looking for dragon books. Before fourth wing. And the dragons are even better here because they are ALSO hot Shapeshifting MEN! That’s right. The dragons are also the romantic leads. Are you obsessed yet?
I would definitely classify this series as New Adult. The writing is not challenging. It’s fun and light and quirky. I think the author does a great job at world building and endearing her characters to the reader.
We also have a game thrones type vibe with multiple sets of characters and POVs on different quests. But we know they’re all going to intercept at some point in this series!
I don’t want ti say too much because I’ve read the other books too. But I love Claire and all the King’s Shields.
With that being said Reyr is my favorite character and the love of my life. I want him if no one else will have him!
