Dragon Storm by Lindsay BurokerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A fantastic start to a new series following on from the totally awesome Dragon Blood series - even better it was free on Kindle.
This first book in a new series focuses on a small team of relatively junior officers who have been brought together by General Ridgewalker Zirkander for a mission to find swords and other magical artifacts capable of slaying the dragons which have somehow opened a portal back into the world and to ultimately destroy that portal.
Telryn 'Trip' Yert and his friend Lu "Leftie" Lymander are dragon flier pilots. Trip has a secret, he gets hunches which are almost always right and sometimes, when he doesn't pay attention, he can break things without touching them.
Rysha Ravenwood is a strange recruit to the elite troops, from a noble family she is scholarly and short-sighted with an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of dragon lore.
The team also includes Jaxi (the soul blade), Captain Kaika the explosives expert, Major Blazer, Duck and a morose Cofah soldier.
If you like fantasy road trip plots with sarcastic sentient magical artifacts and pompous dragons then this is the novel for you. There's plenty of battles, big and small, humour, magic and a cracking plot.
Highly recommended.
