Dragon Dreams by Dusty Lynn Holloway
4.0
This first book in the series describes a coming war between two Dragon brothers. Their first war caused a shift in the land, where the land became blighted. The elves are the first to be affected by it, but it is spreading to the rest of the world.
The world's only hope seems to be Auri, an elf that was raised among humans. There is a human man, Nachal, who has a connection with her. He sees her in his dreams, and connects to her soul. Though she does not know this to begin with, the two are forever bound. He must find her and bring her to safety, for if his dreams of her death come true, the land is lost.
I will admit it was very confusing in the beginning. This is because I was not sure what type of being each character was. The dream sequences and character POV switching was weird until you got used to it. The titles, though helpful for the content of the chapter, didn't help with the character switches.
About a quarter of the way through, the book got better. The plot solidified and the characters, though confused themselves, finally started to be fleshed out. The potential love triangle I was hoping would be avoided was (at least for the time being). Almost seems like it would start to form in later books.
I enjoyed the character relationships. The brotherly love between Nachal and Dhurmic, the love between Nachal and his foster father Cerralys, etc.
This novel is filled with hope, despair, love, and numerous twists and turns. Though confusing at first, it was a wild ride from start to finish and I am curious as to what shall happen in book two. Hence why I shall be starting Dragon Ties very shortly.
