Synopsis
Can anyone survive being lost in Luntharda?
No amount of training has prepared Jaevid Broadfeather for the frontlines of battle. Now facing the true horrors of war, with Luntharda looming on the horizon, Jaevid has begun to question everything he thought about his heritage. The only thing keeping him going is his oath to protect his dragonrider brothers. But in an instant, even that slips through Jaevid’s fingers as he steps from the safety of his dragon’s saddle into the depths of his mother’s wild homeland—the kingdom of the gray elves.
Stranded in Luntharda with his partner, Lieutenant Jace Rordin, Jaevid must finally confront the demons of his own past as he uncovers the truth about a war that began before he was ever born. Armed with a new appreciation for destiny, and flanked by his trusted friends, Jaevid moves to make the final strike against an enemy that has hidden in plain sight for far too long.
One kingdom’s traitor will become the world’s last hope.
Review
I received Traitor in return for an honest review as part
of the tour hosted by Chapter by Chapter. It’s been a rough start for Jaevid as
a half breed dragon rider but he’s proved he has what it takes to make it as
one. Sent to a new base to fight the war against the grey elf’s he is partnered
up with Jace who is an experienced rider having killed the son’s of the grey
elf king. At least Jaevid won’t be alone at the new base Felix arrives just
after him to join the ranks. While getting settled at their new outpost Jaevid
even get’s a chance to check in on his half-brother who’s joining the infantry.
When the call comes to send them off to fight they grey
elves it’s time for Jaevid to confront his destiny one that has been a planned
for a long time to change everything. While his mother was alive Jaevid never
really asked about her past why she left the elves and took residency with the
humans. When his partner is shot down by the princess of the grey elves it’s up
to Jaevid to save him before it’s too late but in doing so he starts down the
path that will change his life forever. Will Jaevid be able to do what he’s
destined for or will his mom’s risk be all for nothing.
I adore Jaevid as a character he started as a boy torn
between two worlds not really fitting in either but he makes it work finding
his place. I admit I wasn’t sur about Jace we didn’t get to see a whole lot of
him in the second book but he does prove to be a worth asset for Jaevid. I don’t
have a lot of Felix or Beckah in this novel but we do have some interesting new
characters to support Jaevid on his journey.
I’ve been eagerly waiting to get my hands on Traitor and
as soon as I had it in my hands I decided to wait to read it with the husband.
I ended up finishing it in one unable to wait for him to start it so we could
read it together lie we did the prior two. The love the dragonrider concept it’s
an intriguing story that captures the heart as well as the imagination. The
characters are well developed I felt like I was really able to connect with
Jaevid and even Jace. I’m anxiously waiting for the next novel in the series because
this one leaves you wanting more. I truly enjoyed the two prior books but this
one dives into the story of Jaevid’s mother’s side of the family which I
enjoyed. Another beautifully written story by the author her storytelling is
one of my favorite styles it’s smooth from start to finish. I can’t wait for
the next novel I’m curious to see what’s going to happen next to my beloved
characters. Highly recommend for fantasy of dragon and fantasy to check it out.
