I am sad for this series is over. The series over all was consistent. It was full of action, excitement and a twinge of romance which did not over take the story. The was no lag in the second book which can happen so all the action occurs in the third book.

My only peeve was that Ms. Oh killed off Shin Bo Hyun as a way to end the possible love triangle. Yes, Kira was attracted to Shin, but she had much more history and bonding with Kim Jaewon. Why couldn't Shin be left alive to fall in love with Nara and be the one to help her gain her humanity???

This whole series was one “barely an inconvenience” after another, including some of the most dramatic things that happen in the series.

This book covers a lot of ground to bring the series to a bittersweet (just enough bitter to make the sweet believable) end. I enjoyed this YA series.

King by Ellen Oh is the conclusion to her Dragon King Chronicles trilogy. Frankly, this is a pretty fun fantasy trilogy that has flown under the radar. Read my full review here Link goes live 8/21/2017

Such a great book! A bit sad where it ended with one character, but that other one, I kinda guessed that he'd do something bad! And yeah, just what I thought it was going to be, and better! Loved it, and I can't wait to see what Ellen Oh writes next!

*Note: review for both Warrior and King*
I enjoyed reading Prophecy, the first book in Ellen Oh’s The Dragon King Chronicles. It follows a brave young woman set out to protect her younger cousin from literally the forces of evil. I loved that. I was excited to pick up Warrior and King, book 2 and 3 of the trilogy. I didn’t love them.
Perhaps it was the whole prophecy/chosen one plot line that made book 2 and 3 so dull. We as readers pretty much know what’s supposed to happen (and how it ends) during book 1. So it makes me wonder why push on two additional books.
There was little to no new developments, new tension, or discoveries in either Warrior or King. New characters appear, but with little to no significance. Don’t even get me started on the romance aspects. It all seemed so one-sided and Kira’s remarks about how she didn’t have time for that sounded so true. She has no time for that! So, why are they still pushing it onto her. Geez!
Oddly enough, even the characters felt out of character. All of a sudden they felt different or were acting in a different manner without any explanation or prelude.
Again, like I noted when I reviewed Prophecy, it felt like I was being told the story, instead of being immersed into the fantasy world of the Seven Kingdoms.
Unfortunately, although I enjoyed Prophecy, both Warrior and King fell short of my expectations. I honestly wish I liked them more, but nope.
