Nina Walker

Crown of Dragons (Bleeding Realms

Candyce Kirk

Crown of Dragons is my first book my Nina Walker and now I'm definitely curious about her other work. If you're looking for a new fantasy series to start and love dragons and other mythical creatures, this book is definitely for you.

I loved that this book was seperated into two timelines with our two main characters. A perfect mix of the modern day world and a brand new fantasy world. Hazel is a 17 year old girl just trying to live a normal life. Well, as normal as she can be while seeing dead people. Khali is also a 17 year old girl, but she is also a dragon and can work with all the elements. Even those these two live seperate lives that are so different, there are so many similarities. They're both strong, stubborn and have a really big heart. 

Nina Walker starts are characters off seperately, but I loved how their worlds slowly started merging in different ways. This felt natural and seemed like the next step in many ways. We learn a lot about the world they're in. I have to say I wish we would've gotten just a bit more history. While I love discovering everything as it comes (like Crown of Dragons does really well), I think a little more background information would've been helpful. A lot happens in the 290 pages of Crown of Dragons.

I don't want to give away too much about this story, because this is the type of series you need to discover as you read. I can tell you besides an amazing world and characters, you can look forward to humor, lots of adventure and a lot of fun references to our modern day world. On top of that I loved that this author wasn't afraid to make this book a bit dark at times. It's not always happily ever after and a few moments in this book really prove that. I can't wait to see what happens in the next book, because that ending definitely left me wanting more!
