***** the characters have captivated me! *****
I've read a lot of books where dragons reign supreme and soar above the heavens with their majestic wings. Ruth Elward, however, changed my perspective about them. Her book, The Aftermath is a well-crafted and beautifully written tale that kept me awake and made me want to keep reading for more.
The Aftermath happened to be the 4th installment from the Dilemmas of a Dragonslayer series, I met the hero, Paladin Carison Destine who barely escaped the tongues of death when Lemore's plans to bond with the Diamondscale went awry. Nevertheless, the Paladin was still intent on killing the Butcher. His betrothed, Raven, was able to finally cure herself through the help of an unlikely ally. Soon Diamondscale was born and became a true monster, made possible by Lemore, and was caught in a battle between dragons and humans.
Things have gotten really interesting for the dragon slayer and the butcher. Lemor is the epitome of a villain gone wild. Carisone on the other hand, played a pivotal heroic role. These characters captivated me, and I can safely say that they would be forever be imprinted in my mind.
All in Good Time (Volume 5 of Dilemmas of a Dragonslayer Series )
*****I can no longer wait to read the next book in the series*****
Allow me to say this, I have just had the pleasure of meeting the most ardent characters in a mystical world.
Carisone and Raven. Two formidable forces. King Lemore considered them the bane of his existence, the thorns in his rise to power, the hurdles that prevent him from reigning over the old Fourth Kingdom. He would do everything and would use Diamondscale to accomplish his goal. Of course, not everyone agreed to do his bidding. That is why he wanted nothing else but to see Carison & Raven dead. All in good time.
Author Elward has created a different world of dragons that I have never read in any other books. She has a very creative mind and a talent in persuading you to continue reading her stories. She really knows how to make a reader crave for more. The fifth volume from the Dragonslayer series is action-packed and nerve-wracking. I felt what the other characters felt. I saw what lies ahead and I anticipated every step they take. I thought I knew it all, but then in the end, I was lost in my own thoughts and was shocked by the turn of event. I can no longer wait to read the next book in the series.
