Dragon Fire eBook Dina von Lowenkraft

Dina von Lowenkraft has crafted a truly epic adventure of dragons, humans, and beings of the light. There's a lot going on here, so grab your favorite beverage and try to keep up.

Rakan is a dragon. Dvara is his half sister. Anna is a human. June, Anna's friend, is suspected of being the ancient dragon that killed Dvara's father. Rakan's mother (the widowed dragon) vowed revenge. Raken's father is harboring a secret elicited by poison. There's this ruling council of dragons who are more than what they seem and have this convoluted hidden agenda.

Dragons have a Rok. It's like their soul. Giving your cairn leader (your clan) your Rok allows them to know everything about you. All of your secrets. Humans don't have this. A dragon can only mate with another dragon (or so they're told), but mating doesn't always happen for love. There are shields, triggers, and trails. Colors. Sights. Sounds. Scents. The entire book feels like a patchwork quilt that's being assembled in front of you. The colors and design doesn't make any sense at first. There's no pattern. But then all of a sudden there's a piece of the quilt that's stitched into place and you understand. You're looking out at a brilliant fjord at sunrise.

I loved the relationship between Anna and Rakan. Anna is human, but she's not a normal human. She can sense energy and the touch of another being's mind on hers. Rakan is drawn to her, at first because she's June's friend and he's supposed to get close to her, but then because he forms a true bond with her and starts to fall in love with her. But despite the fact that Rakan has been alive for much longer than Anna, in dragon terms, he's still a teenager, like her. So there's all the requisite angst over their love that teens will appreciate and adults will remember. You'll cheer at parts, grumble at others, and be pretty happy in the end.

I have only two minor criticisms of this book. Just two (and one could actually be considered a plus, depending on what you're looking for). First, I wish there'd been a glossary. It took me a bit to understand all of the terminology. Rok's, kais, cairns... I got it, after about a quarter of the way through, but a glossary in the beginning could have helped.

Second, the politics are quite detailed and convoluted. Even now, I'm not 100% sure what the hidden agenda was or how everything truly meshed. Given the crafting of the novel, I believe this is my own failing, rather than the author's and those who enjoy detailed political schemes with their fantasy will be thrilled with how the author has spun her tale.

The imagery is beautiful, the love story between Rakan and Anna is deeply satisfying, and the political machinations are truly staggering. This is an epic love story, full of death, pain, happiness, and revenge. Dragons die. Dragons are hurt. Dragons fall in love. Beings of the light are killed and injured. No one is truly safe. There's some mild sexual content, including one scene that speaks of an implied threat of rape, but nothing you'd be upset at your high school reader reading.

I look forward to the next book in the series. Because the last thing I'll say is that when the book ends, not much is resolved. (But hint hint...Anna and Rakan do admit their love for each other. I'd apologize for the spoiler, but nothing irritates me more than a cliffhanger ending of book with a strong romance where the couple hates each other in the end.)

Dragon Fire eBook Dina von Lowenkraft Reviews

I love it when an author writes a story that brings you and takes you along in the story. This was a great book and would definitely recommend it. I loved the cover as well which is why I originally bought the book.
This is not an easy book to read a bit at a time. It demands your full attention then keeps you fascinated by the characters and unsure of the ultimate end which really isn't the end.
What a gorgeously painted novel right from the start. Ms. Lowenkraft possesses a real gift for imagery, and has woven a wondrously crafted fantasy for her readers. I loved every moment of the story. A true story teller with a magical story to tell, she is a talented writer who we will only hear more about in what I hope is a promising future. If you are a fan of richly textured fantasy prose, then this is your book.
I was pleasantly surprised by this story. I expected to be entertained, but I didn't anticipate how the mixture of fantasy and real life scenarios just jumped off the page. There were times I literally couldn't put it down. The story is the perfect balance of action mixed with hints of romance. I particularly loved the way the author treated these scenes with care so that they flowed together without obvious seams. A really wonderful story.
I'm not usually a fan of paranormal romance novels but I truly found myself captivated by the characters and the story lines that the author so creatively portrayed. I felt myself getting lost in the story which says a lot considering my usual dislike of paranormal books. I truly recommend this to readers of all kinds and especially those who are fans of paranormal. If I could enjoy this book so much than anyone who typically likes paranormal will be completely in love with this novel. Great work!
I love a book that I can get lost in! Every once in a while I find a book that wraps itself around me and takes me for a ride and this was one such book! I didn't want to put it down, nor did I want it to end. I truly felt as if I knew these characters and could be next to them as they went on their journeys. The cover is magnificently illustrated and I find myself dreaming of the richly described settings in which this book takes place. Please, Ms. von Lowenkraft, continue Anna's journey and write a sequel. I don't want this to be the end!
This is a great read and surely the start of a really good series. I will certainly be reading the next book in the series.

Other reviewers have outlined the plot and characters so I won't duplicate that. I will simply outline why I gave this 4 not 5 stars.

Firstly, given the book is set in Norway and is very well written and really gives you a feel for the place it was a bit disappointing to trip over the occasional Americanism. Comparing something to the size of a dime in a book based in Norway detracts from the books credibility at times. Who, outside of the USA even knows what the size of a dime may be? I would have been happier if these sorts of references fitted the actual country where the story is set.

Secondly, some of the writing feels quite jumpy. By this I mean you are reading about one pair of characters and the next paragraph you have jumped to others in a different place without really knowing you have switched. I had to go back and re-read many paragraphs once I figured out we had jumped to other characters. These transitions could have been better handled or some sort of graphic inserted between paragraphs to let the reader know a transition was occurring.

Hopefully, this will prepare you so that when you read this book you look for the transitions all the time and your reading experience will be better than mine. The book is well worth working through these jumps as the underlying story is sufficiently complex and unexpected that I feel sure it will hold any readers attention. Highly recommended for anyone who reads fantasy and loves dragons.
