Audio Book Review: Battle Bond by Lindsay Buroker

Battle Bond (Death Before Dragons, #2)Battle Bond by Lindsay Buroker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Val is a magnet for trouble. And magical trouble. She's one of the best at handling it.

Val's working on seeing more in everyone than the surface. She's working on seeing magical beings as more, though she's never really had a chance to look any further than her current job. She's starting to see there are others here that are refugees from other worlds, and they aren't bad. To help her image, when she comes across those that aren't bad and are in trouble, she's helping them.

I never saw Val as one that would go after anyone in the magical community, just someone that's handed a job and deals with it. But the magical community sees what she does for a living and sees her another way... Ruin Bringer.

This book brings Val closer with her friends, Nin, Dimitri, and even Zultan. And even the one person...er dragon, she didn't expect. Zav.

There's another dragon in town and Zav needs her help to find him. In striking a deal to help Zav, and Zav to help her with threats on Nin, Val and Zav start to see things a little clearer with each other. Until Val does something that can threaten the even land they've come to. And maybe even something more that seems to have started to spark.

I'm loving how Val is always in the middle of things, and even though she wants to help, things seem to turn a little tilted and go wrong....even if the result is what is needed. Val's not perfect and I love it. She's got a tough exterior that people see, but there's more to her and I love we're starting to see some of that in her.

I'm thrilled the narrator is the same for this series. I feel like she's caught her stride in these books and doing great with the different voices and personalities, and even accents. I'm on to the next book!
