Mostly listened to this because it worked for a challenge.
The Dragonian's Witch was an okay audiobook. Mostly painful to listen to but wasn't absolutely horrible? No idea if that even makes any sense.. but going with it. In it, you will meet Frejya and she's an interesting girl. It doesn't take long for her vagina to take over her brain and heart.. but I get it girl. She was surrounding by some beautiful men. Other than that, I honestly couldn't really connect with any of them.
I get the whole bad boy type or the usual asshole in any harem book.. but Ares was too much for my ears. Maybe he gets better in the next book? Or maybe Frejya will become more confident and less whiny? I don't know... and I have no idea if I want to even find out. Maybe if I have the time to spare to listen to it because this book really did fly by.
Overall, I saw it.. I listened to it.. and now I'm eating chips! GOODBYE!

4.5 rounded up
I read an excerpt of this book awhile ago, wanted to read it then somehow forgot it in the wealth of recommendations. Fortunately, I found it again. This book weaves deceit, magic and myth in a delicate dance that hints at truth even as it taints both the reader and the characters.
Pros;
- Flows incredibly well.
- Well written.
- No editing issues, at all.
- Character development is on point.
- we learn as they do.
- Mysterious World building.
Cons:
- Bit too short.

This book!! I laughed out loud multiple times and flipped those pages so fast to find out what happened next. Do NOT continue reading if you don’t want spoilers. We have Freyja, the First Witch as our FMC, and her destined mate, Ares, although this “wolf girl” doesn’t know he’s her destined mate until Ares shows up claiming to look for the First Witch. Our FMC doesn’t admit who she is to Ares, even though she is drawn to him and knows that he believes the First Witch is his destined mate. She wants him to want “her” more than he wants his precious “First Witch”, even though they are one in the same. The heat and chemistry in this book was absolutely great. Had me shifting in my seat a little

Interesting premise, but felt the potential was wasted. Would have liked deeper world building and character development. Probably won't reread.

For a serial it has potential
So this in my opinion wasn't really a full book, it leaves off mid scene and didn't really seem long enough to warrent separating into multiple parts.
I really think this could have benefitted from Ares point of view, he comes across like a bug slow, stubborn brute who thinks too much with his penis. With a character as intriguing as Freya there has to be more to him than that for him to counter balance Freya, but we don't get the see that because of the single first person point of view.
Again the sex bothered me, the guy kidnapped her, after abusing and threatening the lives of what was essentially her family, but the moment she learns he can touch her she's alternating between begging for sex and trying to run away, and I really don't buy that as a realistic reaction.
Like I said in my other review the world and the plot have endless potential, they're fascinating. The characters presented, especially many of the secondary characters draw you in and make you want this world and story to work. The problem is all that is put on the back burner to make room for more sex scenes, often in places where they don't make a lot of sense. It's like there's some sort of sex quota to be met and they're being thrown in wherever just to do so rather than a natural evolution between the characters.

I really enjoyed this read.
I didn't expect to like it so much but it was pretty good.
Curious to see how this resolves itself.

The Dragonian's Witch is the first book in a duet set in the same world as the Empress of Mysth, about 2o years after Rose and Seth saved the planet from his father and brother.
This book introduces us to Freyja, a girl who lives with wolves as the alpha of their pack, who has been hunted by rogue angels for her entire life. She is not just any orphan, but the daughter of one of Rose's courtiers and the evil King they were sent to distract during the war. She is also the First Witch, though she's kept that secret well.
But unfortunately for Freyja, she is captured by a half Dragonian, in search of his mate. Told by an oracle that a wolf girl will lead him to his mate, the First Witch, Ares' plan is thrown into chaos when he is uncontrollably attracted to this wild girl who is supposed to be the key to his fate.
This book is an exciting first book in this duet. I really enjoyed reading more about this version of earth and getting a look at the world after the great war from the Empress of Mysth series. I love Freyja. She is feisty and powerful and I can't wait to see what she does next!

This book ends with the dreaded cliffhanger. Ventus is one of my favorite characters who puts Freyja at ease given her situation. Everyone seems to know exactly who Freyja is except Ares and his henchmen and it's amazing he hasn't caught on yet. The jealousy Freyja has towards the First Witch is absolutely hilarious. I can't wait for the finale.
'I received an ARC of this book and voluntarily reviewed it.'

Freyja is the First Witch a hybrid born to an Angel king and a human. She is the forbidden cross so she is in constant danger all the time so she hides her identity. She does have one weapon to use against them. The touch of her skin will bring someone almost instant death except for wolves. She lives in the wilderness with her pack of wolves, the only ones who can bear her touch. Then one day she and her wolves are trapped by Dragonian warriors. As Freyja is plotting to escape, she finds out that the head warrior has been told by an oracle that the First Witch is his mate and that the wolf girl can lead him to the witch. Ares, the lead warrior is arrogant and rude to Freyja so she doesn't want to help him. However he is determined that she will lead him to the witch. Freyja is plotting how to escape without revealing her identity but she isn't indifferent to Ares. Even though she hates him, she intensely desires him. However she kills everyone she touches. Will Ares and Freyja ever open up to each other and become mates or will Freyja continue to lie?
This was a good book and I plan of continuing the series.
