The
heart of Terradin . . . is fading away, and its only hope rests in the one
person that Nachal has vowed to protect at all costs. Because to save her, is
to save them all.
Nachal, foster son of the great Dragon-King Cerralys has the same dream night
after night.
In them, an elf named Auri lays dead, murdered by the Rebel Dragon’s leader
Obsidian on a massive plain of fire.
Racing against time, he sets out from Eldaria to prevent the prophetic dreams
from coming true. To do this he must avoid capture by the long reach of
Obsidian’s gathering army, and find a mystical land that has been lost for more
than two decades. A land that is reputed to flow with breath-taking beauty and
vitality.
But will what he finds there be what he needs? Or something that will haunt him
for all eternity.
of weeks ago I was approached by Dusty Lynn Holloway with the question if I
wanted to review her book ‘Dragon Dreams’. I really like fantasy books and
especially books about elves so I immediately put it on my ‘To-Read’ list. A
couple of days ago I started reading it.
‘Dragon Dreams’ we follow Nachal and Auri. Nachal is a human boy who grew up
with the Dragon King Cerralys. Auri is an elf who grew up with a human man.
Since a view months, Nachal is dreaming about Auri. In these dreams Auri has
been killed by the rebel dragon Obsidian. Soon Nachal dreams seem to be getting
more and more real and he decides to try to find Auri so he can save her.
Auri has a visitor in her little hometown, Liran. Liran is an Elf who was send
to get Auri and take her to the home of the elves. Soon after Auri and Liran begin
their journey they find themselves drawn to each othet. But Liran is a professional and knows more
about Auri’s future than he is telling her. Soon Auri isn’t only traveling to
her new home but she also meets Nachal and learns more about her past and her
future.
say that I really liked ‘Dragon Dreams’. At the beginning I found it a little
difficult to get all the different names straight. There are a lot of different
characters and the names aren’t very easy. I mean Nachal and Cerralys aren’t
names I’ve ever heard before. So sometimes I found myself forgetting which
character was who. But soon I decided to write them down in my notebook and
that really helped me to keep everybody apart.
really surprised me in this book was the love triangle between Nachal, Auri and
Liran. There really was a lot of chemistry in this book and I loved it. Off
course I also had a favorite character in this book. For me it was definitely Liran.
I really liked the mysterious and troubled elf. I loved how he tried to stay
professional and how we read about his struggle with his feelings. I was really
rooting for him.
down point for me in this book was that it sometimes moved really fast. You
would read about Auri going to meet her father and BOOM they traveled days and
where at their next destination. At the beginning I read about Nachal meeting
Auri and BOOM they’d met. But still, it didn’t bother me that bad and I still
really enjoyed this book.

This one sounds intriguing. I do get really frustrated when the pacing is too quick and you cannot get time to adjust to the story!
