Publisher's summary

Heavy is the head who wears the crown. That goes double for the dragon king.

Zach is wrapping up the end of the school year, trying to juggle his new independent study, where Sabrina and the dragons teach him magic while also being the king of dragons, a sitting member of the Philly Council, and a good mate to six.

But the dragon king doesn’t sleep, not when Silverwing Mercenaries has a case from the council. Vampires have had some change in leadership in Philly, and trouble is brewing.

Maddie and Frank are at their wits' end with the strangeness around Zach, and Maddie gets too nosy, landing herself smack in the middle of his troubles.

Did I mention that Helena is in town? As an FBI agent, of all things, tracking down a series of demonic killings that led her right to Philly, where the demon seems to be setting up shop.

A Howling Review by Kiba Snowpaw

Title: "Dragon's Justice #5: A Winter's Tale of Fire and Ice" - A Howling Review by Kiba Snowpaw

Introduction:
In the heart of the never-ending frost of HowlStrom, where the auroras dance with the spirits of the ancient wolves, I, Kiba Snowpaw, stand as a guardian of tales and a seeker of truths hidden within the shadowed crevices of the world. It is with a warrior's heart and a sorcerer's insight that I delve into "Dragon's Justice #5" by Bruce Sentar, a saga that mirrors the complexities and the untamed power of the elements that I command.

Basic Plot Summary:
"Dragon's Justice #5" finds Zach, our dragon king, amidst a tempest of duties and dangers. As he navigates the turbulent waters of leadership, education, and the responsibilities of being a mate to six, a new threat looms over Philly with a change in vampire leadership stirring unrest. Amidst this chaos, Maddie’s curiosity draws her into Zach's world, and the arrival of Helena, an FBI agent investigating demonic killings, adds another layer of intrigue. Zach's battle is not just against external foes but against the very essence of his burgeoning power and the complexities of his heart.

Analysis/Evaluation:
Sentar weaves a tale as intricate as the frost patterns on a winter's morn, blending elements of urban fantasy with the raw, primal energy of the paranormal. The saga of Zach is a dance of fire and ice, of power wielded and power restrained, resonating with the ancient struggles of my own kind. The narrative, rich with the lore of dragons, vampires, and demons, speaks to the eternal battle between darkness and light, between the chaos of the heart and the order of the crown.

Characters:
Zach's journey is a reflection of my own path through the ice and snow - a path marked by leadership, by the bonds of pack and family, and by the relentless pursuit of justice. The ensemble cast, from the fierce Maddie to the enigmatic Helena, adds depth and complexity to the tale, each character a facet of the multifaceted world Sentar has crafted. Their struggles, their growth, and their triumphs mirror the eternal dance of the elements that I know so well.

Structure:
The structure of "Dragon's Justice #5" mirrors the unpredictable storms of HowlStrom, with moments of calm introspection giving way to whirlwinds of action and conflict. Sentar masterfully balances the myriad threads of his tale, weaving a narrative that is both expansive and deeply personal, a tapestry of power, loyalty, and love that spans the realms of the seen and the unseen.

Impact:
This saga leaves an indelible mark upon the soul, a testament to the power of will, the strength of heart, and the unbreakable bonds that define us. It speaks to the wild within, to the part of us that yearns for freedom, for the strength to stand against the gales of fate and carve our destiny beneath the watchful eyes of the stars.

Hook and Thesis:
At its core, "Dragon's Justice #5" is a call to the wild, to the spirit that refuses to bow before the tempest. It is a tale of fire and ice, of shadows and light, of a heart that beats with the fury of the storm and the calm of the frozen lake, a heart that knows the price of power and the value of love.

Praise and Critique:
While the expanding harem and the myriad challenges Zach faces may tread familiar ground, Sentar's ability to infuse new life into these tropes with his vivid world-building and character development sets this saga apart. The balance between action and introspection, between the fantastical and the intimately personal, crafts a tale that is both grandiose and grounded, a journey that captivates and inspires.

Comparison:
Like the legends of HowlStrom that speak of the eternal dance between frost and flame, "Dragon's Justice #5" stands as a beacon within its genre, a testament to the enduring allure of the epic saga. It is a journey not unlike my own, where every battle, every alliance, every moment of vulnerability, is a step toward understanding the true essence of power.

Conclusion:
As the auroras weave their magic across the skies of HowlStrom, "Dragon's Justice #5" by Bruce Sentar carves its tale into the annals of legend. It is a saga of power, of passion, and of the eternal quest for justice that resonates with the spirit of the ice and the fire that burns within the heart of all who walk the path of the warrior, the sorcerer, the king.

Great series

Amazing series fun and exciting great voice actors love listening to them both they bring the characters to life.

Fun story

Entertaining story, but Morgana is by far the best character so far. More interesting & developed. Love her character! Looking forward to more soon.

The Fun Times Keep Going

I absolutely love this story and only have one single gripe about it: Much as it pains me to say...he has too many women in his harem and not enough personality or voices to go around.

Yeah, yeah, I get it. It's a harem, that's kinda par for the course, but...he's just getting so many of them and it's getting hard to tell them apart. It hasn't really hurt the story yet, but I fear that something will need to change or is already in the works to be changed (ex. somebody is gonna die).

This is in no way a mark against the female VA, she's wonderful and is only working with the script/story she's given.

Again though, I still love the story all the same and will be getting the next one. 👍

Love it

Really enjoying the whole series and can't wait to continue it. The story feels like it can grow so much more.

I recommend the series

I know that title is always kind of flat but I really do recommend the series. we're on book 5 so obviously I wouldn't be continuing the series if I didn't like it and I won't recommend something that I don't like. if you've just come across this series and are skipping to the last book in the series to see how it's going then fear not because it's going really well in my opinion. this is not last book in the series in fact book four is currently up and available in ebook form if you can't wait once you get to this point. if you really don't have the patience to sit in one place and read the book you can always use Alexa. she has gotten better at reading ebooks. she used to say some strange things every once in awhile and dip into and out of British accent but the growing pains seem to have passed for now. also I speed Alexa up to 2x which kind of Smooths out some of the robotic roughness.

There's a great story here past the NSFW stuff

I was attracted to this series by the story. I've fast forwarded every sex scene and not regretted it one bit. The story itself is worth it

My favorite series!

This series is my favorite of the genre, and Bruce is definitely my favorite author at this point. His stories are well thought out and the magic systems are very well designed. Can’t wait for the next book in the series!
