Eileen Wilks takes us on a ride of ever-increasing action in
DRAGON SPAWN, Book 13 in her Lupi series.
I am one who prefers to read a series in order.
Unfortunately, it has been a rather considerable number of
years since I last read a Lupi book. Because of this, I
approached DRAGON SPAWN with a slight trepidation; would I
feel lost among references to events I'd missed? Would I be
able to engage with some of the characters if I had no
history with them?
I needn't have spent an ounce of worry on that, Eileen
Wilks is a phenomenal author, able to bring even
recalcitrant readers like myself up to speed with short
informative phrases that in no way impede the action or plot
line of the book.
And what action! What a plotline! We start with a rather
tame seaside prologue with Cullen, Cynna and little Ryder
then are inexorably drawn into a head first, hang-on-tight
roller coaster of events. I won't say more in detail as it
would definitely involve spoilers. But WOW!
Despite several location changes and distinct and seemingly
unrelated events, Eileen Wilks had me safely riding the wave
of the plot lines. I never once felt jolted or out of step,
with one exception. I am reluctant to inform you this book
ends with a cliffhanger. I gasped, my heart clenched, and I
felt very much like I stepped out into thin air when my mind
caught up with my heart, and I realized yes, there is no
choice, I must wait for book 14 (DRAGON
BLOOD, January 2018) before I can find out what happens
next. For perhaps the very first time in my experience,
however, I am absolutely, positively sure the wait will be
worth it.
