Thank you so much to Red Adept Publishing, LLC for giving an ARC of Michael Meyerhofer’s The Dragonkin Trilogy.

So it’s a trilogy. The first book was kind of slow, but it managed to build up and spice everything, and from then on, it was one hell of anride. I enjoyed reading this, I loved the premise and I got the promised fantasy book I read on the synopsis (and more)! Would recommend to all readers who love fantasy!

Great characters in a fantastic fantasy world
Three wonderful stories that kept me totally engaged.

This was a fantastic series. The author will get you to involve yourself with the main characters and care about them. Loved the variety of races and the underlying themes. It was hard to put the books down. I did feel that the ending was slightly weak, and I would have loved to have some of the sub-characters details/stories polished a little more.

Wytchfire isn't your typical dragon fantasy book but is truly is an awesome book that fans of dark, epic fantasy should read. The world that the author has created is filled with amazing characters that cover a multitude of races, conflict , magic and heroism among many that never wanted anything more than to make a better life for themselves than they had been born into. 

Rowan is a young man that grew up in the slums with an older brother whom he idolizes.  His brother protected him from the gangs and worse in the slums they lived in and as soon as they could they escaped doing whatever jobs they could get to get money to keep themsel but also saving as much as they could so that they could get the training to become an Isle Knight.  His brother succeeds and realizes his dream but after years of expensive training Rowan is dismissed form the school and the only reason is because he is poor and not the offspring of a wealthy noble.  He leaves the island disillusioned and bitter only to learn that his brother has died. 

There is a war sweeping the countryside, many cities have already fallen to the horde of fighters that are led by sorcerers and a creature they control called "Nightmare" which is a dragon-like creature that crushes the walls of the cities with ease.   The leader of this group is a huge half orc, half elf sorcerer named Fadarah, which means father and to many of the other sorcerers consider that he is their father.  Even though he has created a monstrosity once you find out why many readers will feel some sympathy but the wholesale destruction that he has made and the aftermath that he ensured would happen overrides any sympathy that readers have. 

The dragons in the book aren't the creatures that many readers are familiar with but to say more would ruin it for other readers.  The unseen that the sorcerers created and use as Blood Thralls are almost as bad as the Nightmare.  They made a deal with the devil and the only release they have is through death but they are almost impossible to kill but those that do get killed have eyes that are filled with gratitude.  

The book ends with a cliffhanger and I am glad that I have the other novels in this series so I can continue the series. I want to read his next trilogy set immediately after these books but I want to wait until the final book is out because if they are is as good as this trilogy, which I am sure they will be then I will want to read them back to back also.
4..5/5 STARS

Book 2 picks up where the first book ended and is as good as or better than the first.  Both the plot and characters develop in this books and there's lots of action; unfortunately, there is also a CH. 

4.75/5 STARS: 

Roven Locke may have the last battle but the fight is far from over as an ancient enemy who has been waiting centuries is rising again.  I loved this series and enjoyed this book until the end.  While it says in the title that it's a trilogy surely the author is not going to leave it like this?  Whether there will be another book added or a new series started something needs to happen because the ending just sucks!  I'm only giving it 3.stars because if it and not being able to find out if there is more to come. 

3/5 STARS:  **I received a free digital ARC in exchange for a honest, unbiased review.  I sincerely thank the author and/or publisher for providing an ARC through NetGalley,.**

Okay, so, I did not finish this book. And this is one book that I do not want to post a review without reading the entire series.

What I did read I enjoyed, for the most part. It had all of the elements that I enjoy in a fantasy novel: action, interesting characters, and complex background. But there was something about this trilogy that, after the first chapter, didn't catch my attention.

It might be that we were fed high action right away, instead of easing into that scene so that we were prepared for it and ready to eat up more. Going from that to a cast off, who, yes has been captured, but doesn't feel like he is ever in any real danger just feels... odd.

Didn't have enough time to finish this, and, again, don't want to post a review without doing that first.

While this book wasn't for me it seems to be the same style that many books are. A longer book which has a good catch but just didn't pull through for me
