Light My Fire

Dragon Kin, Book 7

By: G.A. Aiken

Narrated by: Morgan Hallett

The trouble with humans is that they're far too sensitive. Forget you put a woman in the local jail for a few months - and she takes it so personally! And yet she is the one trying to assassinate the queen. And now I'm trapped with Elina Shestakova of the Black Bear Riders of the Midnight... gods! That endless name! But what am I to do? I am Celyn the Charming with direct orders from my queen to protect this unforgiving female. Even more shocking, this unforgiving female is completely unimpressed by me. How is that even possible? But I know what I want and, for the moment, I want her. And I'm sure that she, like all females, will learn to adore me. How could she not when I am just so damn charming?

Fun Series

Would you listen to Light My Fire again? Why?

Yes. I love this series. Always checking to see if the earlier books are available . I don't know why they are not. Audible get on this. These humorous stories are always very much enjoyed. Delightful way to spend time and laugh.

Have you listened to any of Morgan Hallett’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

A problem for her with this story. It's a shame. The timing is so very bad. This series must rise above the audio.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes I did.

Any additional comments?

I hope for the complete series. I hope for a new performance. This deserves better.

must read

Elina, Daughter of the Steppe, aka Elina of the Ridiculously Long Name, has been sent to kill the White Dragon Queen, but is captured by the Captain of the Queen' s Guard, Lord Celyn. He presents her to Queen Rhiannon, who is intrigued and tells Celyn to take her somewhere safe as the Queen' s very protective consort, Bercelak, arrives. Celyn takes Elinar to the southern kingdom's jail and promptly forgets about her. Eight months later Queen Annwyl finds out about her, has Celyn retrieve her and and then requests that Elina to return home and ask her ruler, Anne Atli, to meet with Annwyl about forming an alliance. But first Elina will have to meet with the tribal leader, Glebovicha Shestakova, who sent her on a blatantly obvious suicide mission. And Celyn is tasked with accompanying her and keeping her safe, while in the background religious fanatics begin making their moves to overthrow the two kingdoms.

While this full length book could possibly stand alone, Dragon Kin is definitely a series that needs to be read, and read from the beginning, and reread. It includes laugh out loud humor, suspense, a very large cast of characters, their relationships with each other and a story line that continues to build over time. Aiken constructs very complex kingdoms with strong characters and she writes one of the best paranormal series I have read. She is one of the first authors to make my auto-buy list and she remains there. I am never disappointed.

Great funny adults book!

The main characters strife and courtship is hilarious. I like how blunt the main female character is on what she wants. at first I was a fended but give it a few and it really turns out funny without being raunchy. I have to say this is one of the best audio books!

Needs more stars!

Things in this series are getting intense!! Even with all the edge of my seat happenings there’s still laugh out loud moments.

My favorite so far in the series

Would you consider the audio edition of Light My Fire to be better than the print version?

Loved this book entirely. Celon and Alina's story, the continuation and continuity of previous characters and plot lines, seeing previous beloved characters with children (Gwnevael's and Dagmar's especially!! What a hoot!) the humor and spark had been lost a bit in the past couple books (Eibhear and Izzies book was a huge disappointment) but this one brings back the magic! And the narrator did a phenomenal job!

What did you like best about this story?

The characters, original plot, and hilarity amid heightened tension, weaving several threads of storyline together into a tapestry of magnificence!

Which character – as performed by Morgan Hallett – was your favorite?

Alina. Love them all but she really nailed Alina's personality.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes although I couldn't

Any additional comments?

The first book in the series was a bit.. We'll I had to develop a taste for it as Annwyl is a complete Mary Sue, albeit an enjoyable one. But from book two on I have immensely enjoyed the series, except in the handling of Izzies and Eibhears relationship and the triangle between them and Celon. That was a book wall moment (book flies thru air and hits wall). But despite my disappointment with that plot line, I have really enjoyed the whole series. Brilliant.

My fire is lit!

Another awesome Aiken creation! G.A. spins a dragon tale like no other... Take delight in the intricate relationships and sardonic liaisons both old and new in Light My Fire!

awesome book

I have the complete series and re-read over and over. I bought both the ebook and audio version so I can always enjoy them. this series is a wonderful story of dragons and humans who are fearless and strong. with beautiful story plots and not just steamy sexy scenes

Inconsistencies

Great story but there wasn't consistent pronunciation with the previous stories. That really threw me out of the story.

Great Storytelling

This is a great storyline but I wish the narrators would agree on the pronunciation of the different peoples’ names from book to book!

Love these Dragons

I love this series. They byplay between human and dragons is hysterical. The only thing I disliked about the book is the use of the "C" word. I personally find it an offensive word but, if it doesn't bother you then you really should read this series. You won't be disappointed.
