I liked it. Meira grows a bit as a character, but the character arc is somewhat sloppy. Some things are just forgotten about her, mentioned and never brought up again (she’s supposedly a hacker, but that hardly comes up, nor has any impact on the plot). She’s reluctant at first because she made vows to Gorgon, but later she’s just denying him just because she doesn’t believe in fated mates. Bitch, what? Then Gorgon is back and the angst returns tenfold. So I really don’t understand why the denial of fated mates, since it didn’t matter at all. The world is interesting, though if you are considering reading this, it’s by no means a standalone. Each of the books focus on a different couple, but to understand the world and most of the plot you need to read them in order.

I have received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Just like the previous two books, I devoured The Warrior King. It had so much drama, betrayal, and sexual tension throughout it. Plus, I liked seeing Meira's sisters and Maul in this one. I mean, their mates are cool too. I will admit that I was a smidge sad for Meira in the beginning. Mostly because she was choosing to marry just for the sake of marrying the King of the Black Clan dragons. She didn't find her true mate like her sisters ended up doing before her. She also didn't believe in the whole true mate thing either.
Well, she didn't until Samael. Now these two had sparks, chemistry, and so much tension. I loved and ate it all up. It wasn't hard falling for them but it was hard seeing them pretend that there was nothing going on.
In the end, it was cute and I was shocked by some things. Definitely intrigued to see what's going to happen with her sister next.

**I received a copy of The Warrior King from Entangled Publishing and Net Galley in exchange for a voluntary and honest review. My opinions below are not solicited in any way**
The Warrior King by Abigail Owen is the third book in her Inferno Rising series. This is the Black King Gorgon, Samuel and Meira's story so make sure you have at least one tissue as there will be destruction, epic Dragon battles, deaths and of course a teaser for the last Phoenix Angelika's story. Hmm now where did I put my mirror I may need to see if I can go through to time travel and find a Kilt clad Scottish Warrior of my own?
Meira Amon has agreed to marry the Black Dragon King Gorgon Ejderha but is it really him or an imposter? When things go south quickly Samuel Veles and Meira will go on the run through mirrors to Gargoyles who protected her, Rune's home in the Andes, Ben Nevis trying to find the truth of where Gorgon is and whether he's still alive. Along the way will Meira and Samuel be able to resist the mating bond that is pulling them together? However, there's a bit of a twist with Pytheios who seems to have found another Phoenix or has he? Personally I wouldn't turn my back on the witch Rhiannon because she could become a future problem in the future for the Rotting King.
While this book isn't my favorite it still was a dragon battle and race to the finish ending.

This shapeshifter story was very entertaining, Meira and Samuel's story was very well done, an empath and a loyal, a woman meant to be with Gorgon, the Black dragon king, who is also his mentor, and friend, but there is a twist and they find themselves working together. The tension between them was a slow burn, all the drama, angst, mystery, and betrayal had me hooked from the start. I look forward to seeing what comes next.

*4.5*
An exciting third installment of the Inferno Rising series, a hot, action packed must read paranormal romance series! The Warrior King is a steamy, intense/suspense filled forbidden romance with dragon politics, epic battles and heart breaking moments! This was a refreshing take on a fierce heroine who may not be what you typically think of when thinking fierce female. Owen presented an intelligent, softer Amon sister that is able to hold her own in a different manner than both Kasia and Skyler. With a damaged hero dragon who was not meant for her and doesn't feel deserving of her or his station.
This was not my favorite out of the three, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. It definitely had some qualities I love to see and found to be fun additions to this series. It had a forbidden romance, that was a little slow burn with the stolen glances and longing. We get to learn more about Meira's phoenix abilities and where she has been since the beginning. It was full of paranormal creatures and of course some real steamy, sexy moments. We jump right into where book 2 left off and it is a wild ride all the way through, filled with action and suspense that had me on the edge of my seat, flipping through the pages with some big shocking reveals!
We briefly get introduced to Meira in the last book, but left wanting to know more! I was super intrigued heading into this story because you know who is the love interest, and because you know that, you know they cannot be together with the current circumstances. I was left flipping through the pages to see how Owen was going to pull the strings to pull the story and romance together! It definitely added a steamy layer as the romance is forbidden and you are tease the majority of the story with shared moments.
I did find the pacing to be a little slower with this one, we get a lot of backstory to Meira and where she has been since the night their mother was killed. We did get quite a bit of traveling (via mirrors!) which was fun! We also go to meet some other characters that had been previously mentioned in the earlier books, which added some important information and elements!

Didn’t care for the dynamic between meira and samael. They were boring and samael mostly annoyed me.
