Dragon Actually – G. A. Aiken

I picked this up through Prime Reading because I’d enjoyed the Blacksmith Queen books, and these characters come into the end of the second book, so it’s the same world. And I definitely enjoyed it. Annwyl the Bloody is fighting for her life – her brother wants her dead, so that his claim to the throne will be clear. While fighting off an attack, she finds her way into the lair of the dragon Fearghus the Destroyer, and sparks end up flying.

This book was mostly definitely smuttier than I remember either of the Blacksmith Queen books being (and those were by no means clean), but especially in the novella this included that contains the tale of Fearghus’ parents, this is definitely on the smuttier side. I don’t mind, but I definitely know some people that would not have been able to deal with it. But they’re both fun stories, and I’m looking forward to reading more in the series.
