Dragon King Of Treoir by Dianna Love – a Review

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / IBooks / Book Depository / Google

Description:
The Treoir dragon holds the fate of the Beladors in one hand … and his own in the other.

The Beladors finally have a true leader in Daegan, their new dragon king, but life is far from secure now that they’ve inherited his enemies. As their Maistir, Vladimir Quinn played a risky role in freeing the dragon from the lair of their enemy, the Medb. Quinn now faces a heavy price for his part. The Medb queen is out for blood. Vigilante killings erupt among Atlanta’s secret preternatural community and all fingers point to the Beladors. The dragon king has his first real test as a ruler when he has to choose between protecting his people and entering a hostile realm full of deities capable of killing a dragon. But as a two-thousand-year-old warrior, Daegan has never shied away from any battle. Quinn, Evalle, Storm and friends race to discover who is trying to turn the entire VIPER coalition against the Beladors before war breaks out. With the clock also ticking down for Quinn, who has been ordered to hand over Kizira’s body to the Medb queen, Daegan reveals an even greater reason the Beladors have to prevent the queen from any chance to use necromancy on that body than secrets Quinn protects.

Freedom is never free. Not when the powerful gods and goddesses poised to decide Quinn’s fate see an opportunity to also destroy a threat to their existence – the last dragon shifter.

Review:

Dragon King of Treior by Dianna Love is the 8^th book of her wonderful Belador series.  Once again, Dianna Love gives us another fantastic story that keeps us glued to our seat, unable to put the book down.  We knew after reading Rogue Belador that things were about to change, and in Dragon King of Treior there were so many major changes that left us wondering what Love has in store for us in the next book. 

Dragon King of Treior is another exciting, tense, action packed, fun story that gives us the chance to spend time with our favorite characters, not to mention a wonderful new character that we look forward to see more of.  Daegan, the new King of Treior, moves to the forefront as the leader of the Beladors, and he is a welcome change from the hated goddess Macha.  Tristan and Quinn play a bigger part in this story, with help from Evalle, Storm, Adrianna, Tzader, Brina and Isak.  Reese, is the new character that we meet early on, and you couldn’t help but like her from the start.  I know she will play a big part in the next book, since we can see the attraction develop between her and Quinn. 

Daegan will do whatever he needs to do to protect his people, and they will be there right beside him as he will stand up to the tribunal and the evil goddess, Maeve.  Daegan will need his powerful team, as both Maeve and Macha will not be far behind in the coming books. 

The focus of the story is Quinn’s attempt to find Kizera’s body, before the tribunal and especially Maeve find it.  Daegan and Quinn know that Maeve will take Kizera’s memories and they cannot allow her to get her hands on the body.  What follows is an exciting adventure, with the entire team working hard to stop the various demons who are also searching for the body of the MedB priestess.  We know that Quinn loved Kizera, but hopefully he is beginning to move on…..to Reese?

I also got a kick out of the short visit with Feenix……whom I adore. … please Dianna…more more Feenix.  😉    Evalle is one of my favorite kick-ass heroines, and I hope she continues to be a major part of the future stories, especially with all the changes happening. To tell too much more would be spoilers, and you need to read this series to appreciate the evolution of the Beladors, Evalle and team.

I am a huge fan of Dianna Love, as she never fails to deliver a fantastic, exciting, edge of your seat suspenseful story that flows so well from one book to the next.   All her characters are so good, each and every one of them.  I can’t say enough of how much I love Dianna Love, and if you have not read her books or this fantastic series, you are missing a gem.  You need to start the Belador series from the start.
