This is the second book in a series that started as a retelling of Pride and Prejudice, with dragons. Alaistair and Aliza are now married, and the story goes off into original territory.
There’s some good world building here – quite a bit of interesting mythology, with a twist, comes in. But the story can be a little irritating – Alaistair and Aliza have to fight a few times to establish how he feels about her not being a dragon rider in a dragon rider’s world. I’m hoping they’ve hashed that out for good, because this was a good set up for a show down, as long as he can trust Aliza to take care of herself for the final book.
