Dragon Kin Books

Start with Briec a "mighty" silver dragon dealing with FEELINGS (oh my gosh)....and a desire to find out what all the fuss is about with HUMAN females...

add

A mouthy, petite witch who's had her infant daughter stolen from her only to find herself dropped literally in a tiny village to be trained as an assassin...and ignored for the next 16 years.

Add....

Dragon brothers, Eibhear and Gwenvael...blue and gold dragons respectively....

and you get an adorable story laden with "accidental" blows by dragon brothers..as well as a deftly developed love story between Briec the Mighty Silver dragon and his witch Talaith. Poor Briec makes soooo many courtship errors, it's amazing he EVER gets it right. (But hey, he has violet eyes...it's a done deal!!)


I re-read this story at least once a year just to laugh...and I hope someday Shelly and her publisher get around to re-printing the FIRST Dragon Kin book then get on with Eibhear's story...you can't leave Eibhear running from Izzy forever!!!!!

Worth the money in either print or ebook, but I strongly recommend print so you can re-read it over and over. And you will.

I enjoyed reading this book. The characters were well fleshed out and the story was engrossing. I didn't stop reading until I finished. Yeah I do that. Great read, fantasy but with a nice story that left me wanting to read it again.

I was surprised at how very good this book was, I loved it! My only complaint is the book cover could have been better.

I loved reading this book... It was totally different from the type of books I am use to reading. I am so looking forward to the next book from this collection by Shelly Laurenston.

Move over Mary Janice Davidson, there's a new queen of comedy in town.
Talaith's life has pretty much sucked up till now. She's basically living in servitude to a goddess with a husband who hates her. Whatever, she's less than fond of him to. But there's that old adage that what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger so she's going to handle things with grace never realizing that the kill you part might be closer than she thought. Dragged from her bed one morning she finds her faithless husband and spineless fellow villagers preparing to burn her at the stake for being a witch. Just perfect. Then she's rescued by a silver dragon, also known as Briec the Almighty, who promptly decides to keep her. Briec is somewhat perplexed. The woman should be throwing herself at her feet in gratitude but all he gets it moaning and negativity. What's a dragon to do? Drug her with sex until she can't think straight and the only word leaving her mouth is yes? Shame that doesn't work. Talaith leads Briec on a merry chase full of sass and sizzle, and you'll be left wanting more from this fun mismatched couple.

Cronologicamente caotico... pero nunca carente del orden del reccorrido en la espiral que surge al buscar la verdad...
fuera de este mundo... material... Bastante inteligente.

leelo y vivelo... buen recorrido para la mente... que si se logra traer al cuerpo seguro te iluminas, o acabas en casa de la risa... suerte.

quizá y si comprendes a los dioses del México escondido te paresca una simple fotografia de El recorrido...

Seems to me that a people who can travel to and settle a distant planet would not be relying on specially bred dragons to burn away killer "threadfall" emanating from a sister plant.

Threadfall = Thin silvery wisps (of what?) that grew on and sucked the life out of every thing it touched. "Turning soil into lifeless dirt, searing through flesh to leave nothing more than charred bone. Only metal, bare rock, and water -- where Thread drowned -- were safe."

Gee, I think I'd find me another planet. DAH!

Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! Did I mention I love it? Mr. McCaffrey has written along the same lines as his mother, continuing her story line, but in his own unique way, making it "his". I can't wait to see if he adds any more to the Dragonriders of Pern series.

I love the Pern series. I was a bit put off at first by the style of this book (seeing as Todd's writing style is different from his mother's.) Once I got used to not reading Anne McCaffrey's writing though, I enjoyed the story.

The world is very consistent to Anne's and the characters are strong. It's a fresh look at the world of Pern, and gives us some insight into other aspects of life on Pern that are far from the Weyrs and the main Holds.

If you like Pern, you'll like this book too, just remember it's Todd writing, so the voice is a bit different.

I am so glad to see more of the Pern Series. Todd seems to have taken up the torch with/for his mother very well, and it is hard to tell the difference in their style of writing. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, as well as the other two in the series. Thank you, Todd, for continuing in your mothers footsteps. I look forward to more from you in the future.

Anne McCafferey has been writing the best of fantasy for years. That she has passed her talents to her son is good news for her fans. Dragon's Kin continues the Pern narrative with a new and intersting perspective.
