Dragon Soul by Danielle Bennett, Jaida Jones
5.0
I can't be objective with these books anymore so I'll keep this short:
I loved reading how Thom and Rook were doing, the chemistry between the two boys was just amazing. I especially loved the fact that one could anticipate the improvement of Rook's mood by counting the "fuck"s on one page. (Less cursing = more content ex-airman.)
Best fictional brothers ever. Of course, that depends on whether one can accept Rook as the character that he is or not because he is one of those guys who show their affection by acting like a complete jerk - because acting like a real jerk is an improvement to his usual behavior.
With Malahide and Madoka the authors have created two female characters who could not possibly be more opposites, though I must confess that I liked Malahide more because the choices she made in the past are so... hardcore.
It was also interesting to find out more about the dragons, how they work and the process of her making. And, well, meeting Sarah Fleet was a real treat.
"Oh, my mistake," said Fleet. "I was under the impression that I was speaking to Airman Rook of the Esar's famous Dragon Corps, not Sissy-man Sal of Miss Petunia's Flower-Farting School for Pansies. You got a problem with that?"
I. LOVE. THAT. WOMAN.
So, I had fun reading this, as usual. And I'm absolutely looking forward to part 4 because I got a reading sample with my kindle edition, so I know there will be Adamo and the Margrave (though Royton will not be one of the narrators) and there will be Balfour and so the awesomeness is guaranteed. Actually, I wouldn't mind reading an entire novel about Royston and Adamo during their 'Versity days, plot or no.
