Merissa (13169 KP) rated Mending the Dragon's Heart (Heartstone Rescue #1) in Books
Apr 24, 2023
MENDING THE DRAGON'S HEART is the first book in the Heartstone Rescue series. We start off with an introduction to both worlds - the dragon world where Lake is escaping from, and the human world where the dragons hope to live in peace.
Oh, boy! This was an amazing start to a series. Lake is from a noble family and gets matched (betrothed, basically!) by a seer to another noble. He's an omega and capable of getting pregnant. He is happy with his match until Norbert dies in a freak accident. Then the dragon world shows how cruel it can be. He has his heartstone broken and discarded, leaving him to fade away - quite literally.
Boone is an alpha dragon who has also escaped the dragon world and, together with other dragons, is in the business of helping those who need it. The sparks fly between Lake and Boone from the start. I loved the responses from his team members - Reno and Durango. Reno is his bond-brother, and Durango is his actual sibling. I honestly can't wait for their stories. I know Reno's is going to be a hard one, just from the hints given.
I can't wait to return to this world and see how it is changing. I'm also hoping to find out more about these heartstones and the traditions involving them. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and have no hesitation in recommending it.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to find some more of Minerva Howe's dragons!

I liked this book - the beginning was super slow for me, the first half of the book actually - but then it picked up quite a lot and got exciting! Sometimes I love books like that, sometimes I hate them, depending on what the pace feels like in the beginning, this one was just plain slow to me.
I loved the dragon aspect of this book - it felt very how to train your dragon to me at some parts - which was all exciting and fun.
I liked Asha's fierceness and her just.. need and want to be independent - I really think this book had very well rounded heroes/villains - just enough to despise a few and love others - plus the dragons .. who cant love that. Just wish the beginning would have been just as pumped up as the end.

It’s a slow paced game that can be difficult to watch at times but if you want a strong story and all the feels, then this is the one to turn to. It pushes the boundaries of games as art and it’s genuinely the most emotional game

you still shouldn’t go into this expecting an epic adventure with the level of research and detail on par with the author’s more famous novels that he wrote in life, but as far as posthumously released publications go, this one was pretty damn decent.

Meeh, it's a good story but it falls flat in the fact in that the author figures you've read the earlier books in that world. So a lot of items/events are spoken of but never actually explained. Didn't really feel like a story but more like "here's part 1 with a cliffhanger". The only thing I've read from this author is Southern Fried Dragon.

Excellent quality, great capability, great price!
The Red Dragon RX 580 is an excellent graphics card, perfect for gaming, and (currently) up to handling whatever you throw at it!
The GPU comes at a very reasonable price for an 8GB card, costing less than some of the more popular 6GB cards, and with two cooling fans, keeps cooler for longer!

I loved this book. I didn't realise how much they had been through as a couple. All the haters and threats. Eva has come out of this still feeling very much positive as she did at the beginning. I loved Stieg's books on The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo trilogy, it opened my eyes to a whole new government that was corrupt, and perhaps continues to be.
