- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Silent Warrior is the first installment in the series, its a short story, only about 80 pages or so, and introduces us into this world that Lindsey Piper has created. Now I have heard good things about this series, and about "Silent Warrior." So I was really excited to read it. It begins with the couple, fighting and pretty roughly too. I will warn you it is a bit brutal at times, and then they get into bed together, and then the romance begins LOL. The first half I was thinking, is there going to be any focus on their relationship or is it just fighting and sex? It is a bit crude especially in the beginning. I think I had a love/hate relationship with this story. I started out not liking it at all, but felt it was 80 pages, so give it a shot. Then about halfway, I felt like it started to get good, and in the way I like it. The ending was a bit rushed, and it almost felt like there wasn't much of one, but with a novella you can't be too picky, but you know that it will be a short story and won't be as satisfying as the full fledged novel. I am curious about Caged Warrior and plan on reading it soon, but I do hope that it will have more focus on the love story than Silent Warrior was. An Intense and suspense packed filled story that will put your teeth on edge.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Review courtesy of Dark Faerie TalesQuick & Dirty: Silence and Hark fall in love in a significantly better book than the first of The Dragon Kings series.Opening Sentence: “This is not going well.”The Review:Hark and Silence first meet on the streets of Hong Kong, in a fight that will change their lives. Both have dark pasts, both have regrets, and both are bonded in this quick novella that takes barely any time to read. It starts as a fight in a bar, and it becomes a romance that will never change without disastrous consequences.First, let’s talk about the characters. Hark of Sath and Silence (AKA Orla) are both Dragon Kings, or those that look like humans but really have powers, depending on their heritage and what clan they are of. Silence was the character that was more engaging, because she had that air of mystery that will make you want to know more. Hath was the character that never stopped talking, which is ironic because Silence is, well . . . silent, until she meets Hark. Both characters had redeeming qualities, and I didn’t see any problems with them.I didn’t have high expectations after reading Caged Warrior, because quite bluntly, I did not enjoy that book. This, however, has a more positive review because of the main problems I had with Caged Warrior are either eradicated or not important here. I was confused in Caged Warrior and in Silent Warrior I was not, although it helped that I read the first book beforehand. I thought the first book took too long. In this installment of the series, it was more brief and to the point.This eBook has action, romance, and humor, so to sum it up, I thought it was a good book. Nothing life changing, so not deserving of the five star title, but still worth your time if you enjoyed Caged Warrior! Read Caged Warrior first. I repeat, read it first! It helps so much with the clarity of the plot and such, so please read it first. Give it a try!Notable Scene:The tall, gracefully thin woman rose to her feet. Blood trickled down the back of her injured ankle. She walked with a slight limp, but nothing about her posture suggested it was time to call it quits. Her skin held the golden sheen of their people-the appearance of tan no matter the exposure to sun-yet the lights leached her color. With white-blonde hair, she was pale on pale with the flashes of black fire in her eyes.And she was collared.At one time in her past, or maybe even now, she belonged to one of three human cartels that traded in the flesh and brawn of Dragon Kings. The collar meant that her gift as a Sath-to borrow the abilities of other Dragon Kings-was dampened. She needed to fight like a human, no matter her people’s remarkable capacity for recovering from physical injury.FTC Advisory: Pocket Books /Simon and Schuster provided me with a copy of Silent Warrior. No goody bags, sponsorships, “material connections,” or bribes were exchanged for my review.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The author Lindsey did a great job in creating a world that I'd want to continue to learn about and explore. You open up to Silent and Hark in a cage fight fighting each other. Both of them are Dragon Kings there is 5 different kinds. Silent and Hark are of Sath and are able to borrow another Dragon Kings powers for a time. Silent and Hark are thrown together by certain circumstances after their fight and work together. Plus they make a powerful couple. They were very interesting my only wished that this was an actual book and not a novella. I can't wait to see what happens in the next book. Even though its looks like it told from new characters I hope the author does mention them or has a few scenes with them in it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Our Review, by LITERAL ADDICTION's Pack Alpha - Michelle L. Olson:*eARC received from EdelweissI read this prequel novella so that I could better understand Caged Warrior (book #1 of the DRAGON KINGS series set to be released on 6/26/13), but ended up absolutely loving it! :)Hark and Silence are incredible characters - snarky, witty, cocky, sexy & more - and their story was utterly enjoyable. A female cage warrior and a street fighter meet in an underground fight club and decide to use each other to obtain their mutual goals. As circumstances force them to work together more than either would like, sparks fly and they can't deny their attraction.Like all Paranormal Romance novellas, the story was incredibly fast paced, but the setting and the sexual tension led to the believability of the tale.Because I adored Hark and Silence and the dialogue between them, in addition to the creativity of the world building and the strength of character, I'm giving Silent Warrior 5 Skulls.
