meganbmooreDragon Strike is the fourth book in E.E. Knight’s series about three dragon siblings who are separated as children. The first three books give each dragon’s viewpoint on the events that led to their parent’s and sister’s deaths and resulted in their separation, and then followed their lives from there. This book features the three learning about each other for the first time since childhood, and seeking each other out, even though they aren’t all on the same side of various factions of humans and dragons.
I like stories about family. I especially like stories about families who are separated and find each other years later, especially if they end up on opposing sides. Though I do tend to end up a bit bitter if this element is there and not explored. So, naturally, I’m rather fond of the concept of this series, and this book especially. It’s also an interesting take on dragons, often a dull and/or overused subject, but sometimes an interesting one. The reunion between Wistala, AuRon, and the Copper isn’t really something, I don’t think, that could be easily predicted, as none of the three are anything like they were as children.
I thought going in that this would be the last book in the series, but it looks like there will be at least one more, dealing with establishing what the dragons’ place in the world will be.
