About this listen

After helping my steady dragon Zav with his family problems, I thought life would get back to normal. As normal as it can be when you’re a hit woman responsible for hunting down bad guys.

That was before a strange artifact showed up in a bog and turned my ancient dwarven sword into a magical beacon. Now, my enemies can sense it from hundreds of miles away. More than that, every club-toting, over-muscled orc, ogre, and troll who would like a magic sword can sense it.

Usually, fighting off opportunists wouldn’t be a problem (they don’t call me Ruin Bringer without reason), but even I can only handle so many attacks at a time. And Zav isn’t as much help as you’d think, since he’s busy on a quest for a ring.

No, it’s not a Lord of the Rings kind of quest. My boss put it in Zav's head that since we’re mated in the dragon way, we should also be married in the human way. Now, he’s off to find the perfect engagement ring. Given his taste in human footwear, I may be in trouble for more reasons than my marked sword.

Not only is there no chance of my life getting back to normal any time soon, but if I can’t figure out how to fix my sword, I’ll be dead long before I can get married.

Sooooo loved this. Great book and series. It has all the essentials. A little humor, lots of action, monsters, swordplay, adventures and a little romance too. As always with this author the plot and character's motives, thoughts and speach are believable and in context. No annoying little inconsistencies to distract you from immersing yourself in a really great tale.

I love the world building and characters and have devoured the books in surprisingly short order. But I have issues with how many times I’m mentally rolling my eyes with the main characters stupidity. That being said I don’t like how her daughter and others are so quick to put her down, and she never stands up for herself, she lets comments hurt her like she deserves it.
And the narrators Aussie accent is downright painful. Followed closely by the Hungarian but at least I’ve had seven books to get somewhat used to it. I think coz it at least is consistent. The “Aussie” morphs. From bogan somewhere to Queensland to Irish (shudder).


I’m enjoying the series

Disliked attempt at Australian accent for Dr Walker. Awful mix of Afrikaans and Irish. Made character ridiculous. Pity.

Great book. Dodgy Australian accent
