5.0
I have enjoyed this series up to now. The complexity of the story and wonderful characters in this series keeps my interest. The resistance's fight is the beginning when we all learn the dragons are not very smart. Spreading fear and hope with the Empire and resistance, this books give us much more adventure as well. I enjoyed the battles scenes very much and I was still drawn into the chaos for everything. *This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.*

Hot of the heels of reviewing Dragonia: Rise of the Wyverns, the author was kind enough to send me an ARC of the sequel.
Consider the ante upped. With the rebels successful defeat of an empire force, word is spreading and others are rising to their banner. However, the Emperor took the defeat badly, and has taken to executing "traitors" to keep the civilian masses under his cosh.
The story starts much the same as the last, with a new party escaping imperial "justice" and seeking out the resistance. A new member joins them along the way (I'll leave it as a surprise), and it transpires that a couple of them have abilities that are considered long gone - magic.
Derkas the mercenary has discovered the location of the the rebel base, Saefron, and takes the news to the Emperor in exchange for a payment in kind. However, his motivations are his own, and we're never sure what side he's really on.
There's a new cast of characters to add to the last books, but the best of all is Deverius. While he fights to protect his friends and his cause, he is disturbed by having to kill, and would prefer to persuade his enemies to put down their weapons and see the light.
It's a fun story, with likable characters (even the wyverns) and peppered with humour and the pacing is really fast (I read it in two days). It's likely not out for a while yet, so brush up on Wyverns so you won't be too in the dark when it comes out.
