Rating: - I love Wardwick!!!
I really liked Dragon Bones and I really like Dragon Blood. Like most Patricia Briggs books, it's basically a fairy tale and a well written one at that. The characters are believable and well developed and the primary characters are emminently likeable - I wanted them to win (and I'm the sort of person who is normally exasperated by the heros and ends up sympathising with the villains).

If you like a light fandango of escapeism - give both a go.

Rating: - A weak story of torture, rape...and more rape
Sadly, after the beautiful yet not perfect "Dragon Bones", "Dragon Blood" presents us with the sad stories of the imprisoned brother of the king, tortured and malnourished for years, of the protagonist, who is raped, tortured and remains somewhat psychologically scarred, and of Tisala a girl that, guess what? is raped, tortured and what not.

Rating: - Worthy follow-up
"Dragon Blood" is the sequel to "Dragon Bones" and I would certainly recommend that you don't read this one before you've read the book before it - I would be incredibly confused if I had done that!

Patricia Briggs is excellent at ... Read More

Rating: - A highly entertaining continuation
Both "Dragon Bones" and "Dragon Blood" have been thoroughly enjoyable reads. I found the transition between first person and omnicient narrative unproblematic, so don't let that frighten you from buying the book. Ward's life is slightly more complicated than my own. I seldom have dragons living in my house, girlfriends tortured by kings or get put in the nuthouse because I'm a threat to the throne. Nor is it often that I find myself tortured or feel it necessary to defend myself with ... Read More

Rating: - Struggled to put it down!
Having first come across these characters in Dragon's Bones,I eagerlyawaited the arrival of this sequel.Again written in the first person ,whenabout Ward,but "normally" when dealing with everyone else.This book wasfinished in a day!Therefore my only complaint would be that it was notlong enough! Unlike some authors that fill their books with padding,MsBriggs if anything finishes most of the pivotal points of the story tooquickly!The book finishes with the feeling that there will be a thirdinstalment ...
