Beautiful Beast

Dragons of Viria, Book 1

By: Devyn Sinclair

Narrated by: Kristin Condon, Gabriel Michael

Standing in front of a dragon means dying by fire, but the heart knows there's more than one way to burn.

Humans and dragons are at war, and I am a pawn in the battle.

Princess of a dying land, my life is not my own, and a marriage to a vicious, dragon-hunting prince will save my people from deadly famine or death by fire.

But before I can vow my life to a monster, dragons drop screaming from the sky with a single aim. End the alliance. Kill me. I welcome the flames, relieved to burn instead of rot.

But the flames never come.

One look in the dragons' eyes, and they carry me away. Three dragons whose gaze burns with hunger and fills me with fire.

They're not what we were taught, and every passing day I learn more of the truth. Dragons are not the enemy we thought they were.

Still, one question remains: for centuries no one has stood before a dragon and survived. If these dragons were sent to kill me, why am I still alive?

I'm very impatiently waiting for the next book. this story had wonderful world building and character growth. I wish more of the ancient lore had been woven throughout but I'm hoping it's in the next book.

Fabulous Story

This is the first I have read/listened to from this author. The story is absolutely fabulous. Just enough descriptions to give great visual images but not so much to bog down the story into boringness. The characters are easy to envision and either love or hate, the storyline is entertaining, gripping at times, endearing at others, and just enough spice to heat things up without going over the top, it brings all the feels. The voice actors do a fabulous job, The female actor is great, she brings emotion to the character without it coming across as whiny or warbly in the voice which too many actors rely on. She expresses strength of character through her voice without it coming across as witchy, truly she is fantastic. The best of all is that her voice tones are mellow, not grating in any way, just soothing to the ears making it pleasant to listen to. Too many female actors voices do not achieve this. This is very important as most of the story is told through the female character's pov. The male actor does a great job except that he does not change his voice to differentiate between the different male characters, and since there are 3 main male characters, it would have been good to have 3 different male actors because it is too easy to get lost as to who is speaking. But other than that he does a great job. It is easy to connect with the characters and feel for them. This first book in the series does end on a cliffhanger so be prepared for that. It is a fabulous story, one that I highly recommend. The author writes so engagingly that when I am finished with this series, I will definitely seek out more books by this author.

Foaming at the mouth

I love this book. I can’t wait for the second one I’m dying. It was so good and it ends with a cliffhanger.

Leaves you hanging in the worst way

The story ended in a horrible way. I wish I never read it. It’s a cliff hanger and while I understand they want you to read the next book, this one just left me upset and the second book doesn’t exist yet.
