Hi Cara,
Today on my blog I am returning to the world of Death before Dragons. Battle Bond is the second book in this series. I listened to the book via Audible.
If you think having one dragon around messes up your life, imagine what it’s like when a second one shows up.
I’m Val Thorvald, assassin of magical bad guys and tenuous ally to the dragon lord Zav.
He still calls me a mongrel and thinks I’m a criminal, but he healed my wounds after we fought those dark elves together. That’s progress, right? Maybe one day, he’ll deign to use my name.
Not that this is my primary concern. I’m busy with a new assignment. Nin, the awesome lady who makes my magical weapons, has a werewolf problem. Specifically, sleazy loser werewolf competitors who want to drive her out of business. Or worse.
Normally, a couple of werewolves wouldn’t be a big deal, but these ones have powerful allies. And then there’s that new dragon.
(Synopsis from Goodreads.com)
Battle Bond is another fast-paced action-adventure from Lindsay Buroker. Val our leading lady/heroine and this time she has to deal with helping a friend as well as dealing with a new dragon. I liked seeing Val dealing with having friends, helping people and working on her image in the supernatural community. All while a dragon uses her as a pawn in their political games. Val is sarcastic and funny which brings humour to her fights.
An element I enjoyed is finding out the politics of the Dragon Justice court and how different Dragons are.
Battle Bond also allows the reader to get to know the side character more. I love Nin the hard-working businesswoman. Dimitri the Boucher looking artist, and my favourite silver Tiger Sindari. I love that he is still threatening to chew peoples legs off.
A moment that I loved is between Val and Zav regarding a certain poster.
Overall an enjoyable urban fantasy book that makes me want to return for more stories.
My rating for Battle Bond is 4 out of 5.
