Really annoying banter between the main character and the love interest. Just sounds like two immature teenagers talking to each other even though the characters are supposed to be adults. Couldn't get through a couple of pages without cringing at the dialogs.
This book has terrible descriptions of the settings and kind of feels like you're in a blank space all of the time.

Magic Games is book two in the Dragon Born Serafina series by Ella Summers.
I like the concept of the powerful Dragon Born. I just wish more was explained on what they are and can do. Why are they put to death? etc…
We get a few twits and surprises in Magic Games, but I feel the story isn't progressing enough. It could be; because I'm not reading the Dragon Born Alexandria alongside this one. The series co-inside.
Magic Games is a little more fast-paced then Mercenary Magic. Here we focus on the magic games which are a sequence of battles designed to crack a mage, but we don’t get an explanation of what it’s designed to crack. Her mind? Her magic? What?
Kai and Sera are not yet in a relationship, but it’s heading that way. By the end they are together. He’s helping her out and waiting for her to share her secret. I liked that Sera has a talk with her sister Alex. It gives you a little insight into what’s going on inside Sera’s mind. Then we have the ever impending secret and will it come out. It’s still safe; except from an ancient mage and his gang of bad guys.
I will say that this series reminds me of her Legion of Angels series, but instead of Angel’s we get magic and mages.
Magic Games was a fun read. I enjoyed and now onto the next.
Rated: 3.5 Stars

Magic Games
Why do I always forget to review these things? The book was really good and I was happy with what happened between Sara and Kai.

So I'm trying to read these books in a somewhat order. This can be found on Ella Summer's website under Dragon born (Its towards the bottom of the webpage), for my sake I'm going to include this intro from now on with Ella's books for this series (Although maybe this would be worth the books being linked on Goodreads...) I'm also just for the sake of too long a review hiding it under spoiler tags.
The Dragon Born series can be read together or independently. Each series features a different protagonist (Sera, Alex, Naomi) and has its own story arc. There is also a larger story arc that connects all of the Dragon Born series together. If you enjoy seeing how the story lines work together, I recommend the following reading order:
* Mercenary Magic (Dragon Born Serafina, Book 1)
* Magic Edge (Dragon Born Alexandria, Book 1)
* Magic Games (Dragon Born Serafina, Book 2)
* Magic Nights (Dragon Born Serafina, Book 3)
* Blood Magic (Dragon Born Alexandria, Book 2)
* Magic Kingdom (Dragon Born Alexandria, Book 3)
* Fairy Magic (Dragon Born Awakening, Book 1)
* Rival Magic (Dragon Born Serafina, Book 4)
* Dragon Born Shadow World: a new trilogy featuring Serafina & Kai
* And coming next... Shadow Magic (Dragon Born Alexandria, Book 4) & Spirit Magic (Dragon Born Awakening, Book 2)

Nice book, I was on the edge of my seat hoping they wouldn't find out her secret.
I'm looking forward to the next one.

I loved seeing the battle of wits in this book and the general way that the the book was heading.It was like a roller coaster of emotions. every minute into the pages the more I thoroughly enjoyed the events and loved it.Their relationship was growing and I liked that. Sera felt too stubborn for my taste.
