Dragonia: Revenge of the Dragons
The Dragonia Empire strikes another village. They struggle to find the resistance and exterminate them. One woman won’t stand for it. She unites the villagers, and together they seek the sanctuary of the Resistance.

The Dragonia Empire learns where the resistance is hiding, and this time—they’re holding nothing back. The Resistance doesn’t have much time. If they don’t stop the empire this time, it could be the end … for everyone.

Galedar needed help! The Meldakar king had sent assassins after him because he had left the army. He was cold, but couldn’t make a fire that might be seen. The small red dragon that had hatched was sleeping on his bed and refused to leave his side. But at a knock on the door, the dragon had to hide so she crawled under the bed. General Ilandor shoved the door open and told Galedar that 6 soldiers were outside to hang him as a traitor, but Noranda crawled out from the bed and attacked him. They defeated the others and left the room.
Zaviana was in chains, having been rescued from the emperor by the mercenary, Derkas. She pleaded with him to warn the Resistance. The emperor had experimented on her and had tortured others. They needed to fight back!
Naveen stood before the gallows, seeing her innocent friend ready to die because the Dragonia Empire lied and accused them of being traitors. She knew them all. Her village had been burned because the Empire said there were Resistance sympathizers. Not true. All lies. Naveen walked to the crowd burying the dead and told them the Empire lied and she was seeking out the Resistance. Some were angry at her, but when she left, some went with her.
Zaviana saw smoke in the distance and told Derkas they needed to see what was wrong. They were there hearing Naveen’s story and watched as over 100 people followed her out of the burned village. But she also saw the blacksmith and her power revealed that he would betray the woman. She followed him to his home, saw the letter he wrote to the emperor, and she drained him of his life energy. Then she headed off to find the Resistance on their island – and found much more as she learned of the wyverns and was reunited with her brother, Devarius!
The action and adventure continues in this book! The characters were expertly portrayed and the story line was perfectly paced to hold the reader in suspense. Despite setbacks, there is always hope. Find out what happens in this epic battle! Dragons and wyverns make it a perfect reading experience, one to definitely not miss!!

Great Story, Decent Writing
This story begins with another flashback to the emperor’s youth, showing what he did after getting his dragon. Then, we meet Zaviana, and while we know who she is from the epilogue of the last book, I was expecting to be back with Devarius and the resistance. Instead, the story hops back and forth between Zaviana and Naveen—a new character we meet—who both have magical abilities, though Zaviana’s are more advanced than Naveen’s. Because of this, the book felt like it could’ve been another “book one” since they were going on the same journey as Devarius and his group in the first book. We eventually did get back to Devarius and the resistance, but it felt strange at the beginning.
With the arrival of Zaviana, this book introduces the concept of magic as a viable source (not just from the dragons/wyverns) and thus introduces a magic system. It works the same way as the wyverns’ colours. Some people are born with an innate enhanced sense, and from there, they can affect the same elements as the wyvern’s colours—fire, ice, wind, acid, lightning, and metal. These abilities are further enhanced if they use the wyvern scales or oil. And they are overwhelmingly enhanced if they come in contact with something called the dragon stone, which steals magic from the dragons and, I guess, redistributes it. I’m interested in this system, and the narrative wonders why some people are gifted and others are not, but it has not yet revealed the answer.
Something that really peeved me about this story was the confusion of pronouns throughout. “He” and “she” were used nearly interchangeably, and none of the characters were portrayed as genderfluid, so this is chalked down to an editing mistake. This issue didn’t affect just one character, but multiple different ones, and it was highly distracting. I definitely think this book could’ve benefited from another round of copyediting at the very least to solve this issue and the rare spelling mistakes that I also found.
Overall, though, it was a decent read. The point of view (third person omniscient) remained consistent, giving an accurate description, but also diving into the minds of some of the characters. I read this book quite fast, but the pacing still seemed good to me, as the action came swiftly, and while there was character building in between, there weren’t any drastically slow sections. I actually think the author could’ve taken some time for better character building because even though Devarius’s romantic relationship was put on hold, I still couldn’t feel the bonds between him and other people from his past. I understood his need to find his sister because of the familial connection, but other than that, nothing about their past is shown. Same with Paedyn. He is shown to be a comedic character who is also an arson, but most of his quips felt awkward in the writing as if the author was constantly trying to remind you that he’s funny. This, I think, is because most of their past is told through dialogue when I think the story would’ve benefited from flashback scenes instead.
Now, to talk of the writing. As I said in the tagline, the idea was great, but the prose was only decent. I can see real potential in this idea as one of the generic dragon-packed action-adventure stories, but I didn’t find the words compelling. I’m not sure what it was—maybe the flow, word repetition, or just some awkward sentences—but the writing didn’t impact me like some authors do. It was hard to picture scenes at times, and my eyes wandered a bit as I was reading, getting lost as I tried to make sense of some of the more confusing sentences.
That being said, it was an entertaining story, and I’m set to read the next two books in the series.

First, let me just say that although the books are mediocre at best (though they do continue to improve with each one) I continue listening to Craig Price's books because I keep seeing the seeds of wonderful stories. They just can't quite deliver on the premise.
Okay, that being said, the narrator has a good, smooth voice with clear pronunciation and great tempo. However, apart from different accents there isn't much variation in his voices. I would have liked to hear a lot more vocal range.
Story-wise, this book was not what I was expecting it to be. I was expecting a direct continuation of the characters we got to know in the first Dragonia book. And while we do eventually get back to them, the first part of this book feels almost like I'm reading the first one again (character on the run, looking for The Resistance but having no idea where to look).
There were a lot of places where we were given a great setup for some rich storytelling, but the majority of the details we're given are about how attractive this character or that is and what features are pleasing to look upon.
I would have liked a lot more lead-in to the battles (set the stage for me, let me feel immersed in it) and a lot more of what's happening in the character's head during the fights instead of strict play-by-play on the action of the fights.
As with previous books, the prose is clumsy at times and a lot (read: A LOT) of the dialogue feels very stilted, especially when the lines are meant to be quippy or sarcastic.
Now, that said, I do recommend giving these books a read/listen. No, they aren't great literature, but there's an interesting story here with some really cool ideas (like the properties of dragon/wyvern blood/oil! So cool!) that I'm glad to have read about.

I received an ARC of this book and have decided independently to leave a review.
Dragonia: Revenge of the Dragons continues right off the ending of it's predecessor, Rise of the Wyverns. This book is much more action packed than the previous. This time, we focus more of the battles between the Empire and the resistance. We learn early on that news of the resistance defeating the Empire in a battle has spread throughout Kaeldroga and there are many who have been wronged by the Empire who want to join the resistance and bring revenge against the Empire. One of them, being a strong and determined woman named Naveen, who takes hundreds from her village and surrounding villages to join the resistance. The magic that is presented in this book that was not present in book one is a nice addition. It is a believable magic and it isn't over done.
This book, much like the first book, continues to show promise for the author. I enjoyed the plot of the book and thought that it paced itself well. The battles were well developed but the characters still seem to need some development. I don't ever feel a strong connection to them like I feel I should. If Devarius died, I'm not sure that I would be sad. His character is certainly one of the most developed between the two stories (Rise of the Wyverns and Revenge of the Dragons) but there is much to be desired of the supporting cast. I did think that this book was better than the first and I will probably continue on with the series since I am already two books deep. I do think the author has room for improvement but then again, who doesn't?

Hot of the heels of reviewing Dragonia: Rise of the Wyverns, the author was kind enough to send me an ARC of the sequel.
Consider the ante upped. With the rebels successful defeat of an empire force, word is spreading and others are rising to their banner. However, the Emperor took the defeat badly, and has taken to executing "traitors" to keep the civilian masses under his cosh.
The story starts much the same as the last, with a new party escaping imperial "justice" and seeking out the resistance. A new member joins them along the way (I'll leave it as a surprise), and it transpires that a couple of them have abilities that are considered long gone - magic.
Derkas the mercenary has discovered the location of the the rebel base, Saefron, and takes the news to the Emperor in exchange for a payment in kind. However, his motivations are his own, and we're never sure what side he's really on.
There's a new cast of characters to add to the last books, but the best of all is Deverius. While he fights to protect his friends and his cause, he is disturbed by having to kill, and would prefer to persuade his enemies to put down their weapons and see the light.
It's a fun story, with likable characters (even the wyverns) and peppered with humour and the pacing is really fast (I read it in two days). It's likely not out for a while yet, so brush up on Wyverns so you won't be too in the dark when it comes out.

An excellent continuation but this one also has some grammatical and continuity errors like the first one but not bad enough to hamper the story, at least for me. Sometimes these things slipped through, but who am I to judge? As long as I can still enjoy the story, I can try to overlook such things. My favorite aspect of the series so far is the bonding and interactions that go on. Like I said before, I am totally enamored with and love stories that have humans bonding with creatures or animals. That is enough to allow me to like this series a lot. Add elemental magic into the mix, and the series has my full attention. I dislike how fantasy always stereotypically relies on the medieval setting but fortunately this one does not concentrate too much on that. More emphasis is placed on the humans, dragons, wyverns, and plot which is something I can appreciate. Overall, I am intrigued enough to overlook any mistakes because no writer is perfect and no story is perfect. I will be continuing this series to see what happens next.

The story continues with the training of the wyverns and the building of the fortress on the island. The women of the resistance take over much of the focus in this second volume. Zavianna, Devarius’ sister, Naveen, a village survivor with abilities, Navianna and Lilianna from the resistance. As the Empire advances, will the resistance survive? Will the wyverns be enough to defeat the dragons? The story is good and quite interesting but also confusing to the point where I had to go back to listen to the beginning of volumes one and two. There is a big timeline hole between the two books which is not explained but only hinted at. I suppose we could call that The Time of The Emperor, or The Rise of Dragonia. Perhaps the author plans on releasing a third book to cover this timeline. Personally, I would rather read books in order. This is the only reason I didn’t rate it five stars. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

My review of this second book in the series is similar to my review of the first book. It started off fairly slowly but not quite as slow as the first book so I did see some improvement in the writing skills of this author. However, I still did not feel for the characters. They could have been more fleshed out with human frailties and feelings. The best part came toward the end during the battle between the resistance with their wyverns and the empire with their dragons and warriors. I liked the magic. I could feel the intensity of the individual battles and I especially liked the communication between the wyverns and their riders. The wyverns fought hard for their riders and struggled hard to carry on even when they were injured. I will continue on with this series to see how the author takes it to the next level.
January 28, 2020
Ok, the first book was slow and I can’t say this book is much faster in terms of pace. There are several twists that made the story more engaging BUT the amount of sheer “luck” is kind of ridiculous. Is the book worth reading? Sure. Would I read it a second time? Probably not. There’s enough that I could be persuaded to read the third installment if there was nothing else to catch my interest.
Parents: there’s quite a bit of violence and blood (it’s a war book guys). No sex, just lots of nondescript romantic feelings. If you’re chill with violence and solid sword fighting descriptions and decapitations I’d say this would be decent for teens (think hunger games violence).

There are rumours that the resistance has won a battle against some dragon riders. This has made the Empire increase the burning of villages and the hanging of the innocent. The Empire is spreading fear and hoping to stop the resistance. Then the unthinkable happens the location of the resistance has been passed on to the Empire and war is coming to the mountains.
A ship is sent to their island base telling them of the Empires imminent arrival. The wyverns are ready and they fly to fight against the Empire. Can they win or will the Empire prove to much for the resistance? No more spoilers you’ll have to read the book to find out. Highly recommended.

An exciting follow on from the 1st book.
Overall I felt this book was better written than the first. The plot line developed naturally from Dragonia- Rise of the Wyverns, with more details explained as the characters themselves furthered their understanding of wyverns and the background of the Empire.
We come to know some of the secondary characters better as they fight their way into this story. It was also good to see original characters growing in the face of change and interactions with others.
While this book ended in a satisfying manner for me (no spoilers😉), there was plenty of room left for further development. I can see myself reading the next instalment.

I have enjoyed this series up to now. The complexity of the story and wonderful characters in this series keeps my interest. The resistance's fight is the beginning when we all learn the dragons are not very smart. Spreading fear and hope with the Empire and resistance, this books give us much more adventure as well. I enjoyed the battles scenes very much and I was still drawn into the chaos for everything. *This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.*

I enjoyed the first Dragonia Empire book enough to read the second right away. Dragonia:Revenge of the Dragons also features strong female characters - a plus for me. Because it is a sequel, this book does not have to provide as much back story and therefore can be more action-packed. Price amps up the fight scenes and the politicking, and deftly interweaves the plot lines begun in Rise of the Wyverns.
I liked this novel, but not as much as the first because of the many descriptions of battles and combat tactics.

I received a free book and I am providing my honest review. In the second book you are learning more about the emperor and the resistance. You meet Devarius's sister and learn her story. You are now introduced to magic and mayhem. More resistance fighters are made because of the emperor's tyranny. I cried at the end, cannot wait for the next book where we will learn about this dragon stone. Would recommend this to all.

They attack another village and she managed to get free only to become a slave to the man of the resistance. All she wants is her freedom. She wants him to help others to be free. Will he do it? Will she see us would be good for her? Follow their adventures

This is the second book in the Dragonia Empire series and boy oh boy does the action, suspense and drama continue on. There are a few surprises that had me missing my lunch as well as losing time. I can not wait to see what is in store for everyone in book 3. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book

Magical Battle. The
Empire attacking more villages. More people searching for the Resistance. The
battle has shifted to the resistance stronghold at Saefron. With magic on both
sides, who will win? Looking forward to the next book.

Another Good Installment
Another good installment of this series. The sequel was just as good as the first, maybe even better. The action ratchets up several more notches. There's more bloodshed, fighting, and even a bit of intrigue. No worries, while there was quite a bit of violence, it wasn't gratuitous. I highly recommend this series.

Read book one,and it promised me more story...Guess what? book two gives it to you in spades,along with romance,sacrifice,duty and bravery in the face of true evil! characters were well written,and plot was on target (who wouldn't cheer for the underdog?) Entertaining and inspiring read.

Enjoyable! I am awaiting book three of the series....
Wyverns and dragons, what more could I ask for? The interesting way that the
wyverns use their abilities..... the intense battle near the end kept me up half the
night reading.

While I received an ARC of this book, I have made an independent decision to post this review. Galedor narrowly avoids being hanged, and goes on the run with his Dragon Noranda in this second book. Of course the Dragonia Empire gives chase! I found this book to be a good read!

The real action was a bit slow to start. I found my mind wandering during the first part of the book. Midway through the end it picked up for me. I never really was deeply invested in most of the characters but I did like them.

Audible:This was a really good sequel to bk 1.I loved the characters and the storyline. Reuben Corbett was again, a fine narrator.
I was given this book by the narrator,author or publisher free for an honest review.

I enjoyed this book, but not as much as the first one. I did still love all characters, plots and the world that this series is in. There was a bit of repetition which got a little annoying but overall I still really enjoy this series.

exciting
The series just gets more exciting! The resistance is getting stronger and more innovative. More characters of the resistance are becoming more adept. But it isn’t getting any easier. Wow.

Book 2 was even better than 5he first. More magic and battles occur and you get too see more of why these citizens are building a resistance.
