Called by Dragons Song ( Return of the Dragonborn book 3)
By N.M. Howell
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dragonborn and sorcerers unite in the face of war. Arvall has finally accepted the dragonborn and their dragons, and the University is finally set to re-open in a time of relative peace. But in not so distant lands, the enemy prepares to strike. For where one hopes for peace, two more hope for revenge. Revenge on the dragonborn and their dragons, and the magic born to their blood. So long as the enemy lives, the world cannot find peace. Uniting with the citizens of Arvall, Andie and the dragonborn face their most dangerous enemies of all. And their existence in the modern world hangs on the outcome of the war.

The best was saved till last! I’ve loved this series well what’s not to love it has Dragons!! The journey these characters have been on has been a rollercoaster of joy, devastation and excitement. This book was no different the loss of characters was felt by all as well as the joy of reuniting with friends that we thought were lost for good. Definitely recommend if you love dragons and magic.

I am quite a bit of a fan, when it comes to books about World War II, add women in it, and I’m intrigued. That was what drew me to this book, a woman figure in the context of war and not just woman, a foreigner. The description above, describes this novel quite well. It started with very romantic notes, how Maggie met Kurt, and how she ended up in Berlin, landing a job in Propaganda House. Maggie is very interesting character in this book, and I really loved her in this novel. She is beautiful, pleasant to be around, incredibly hard working and independent. I’m kind of used to these disturbed characters which are used in most of the books, and it was very refreshing to read about one, who is not mentally or emotionally messed up. Other characters were interesting to read about as well, and all of them where quite the personalities. I really enjoyed, that author did not make this book from one characters perspective, and included most of the characters by allowing them to speak. This made the book more pleasant to read, and more interesting.

The plot of this book was really absorbing, and different from most of the WWII books I read. Normally, I encountered the books, which used to describe the tragedy of war, such as concentration camps or Jew’s killings, and their fighting for survival. This book was softer on that part, it mentioned the cruelties’ which happened during the war, but never in so much detail to make it stomach turning. It was written more about the political aspects of it, and how German propaganda was used to influence people from other countries. It’s been a while since I studied history of WWII, and I studied from different countries’ perspective, so to see how it looked from Germany's perspective was quite appealing. I think that author was trying to show, how Germans thought about this war and why most of them supported what Hitler was doing.

I am a big fan of short chapters, and this book didn’t disappoint me with that. The chapters were divided into smaller parts, which made it more pleasant to read. Every chapter was quite detailed, but the meaning and the point of that chapter was very lovely opened, and concluded for the reader. The story was flowing nicely and smoothly. I believe Author has a great personal knowledge about war, and used it greatly in this book. There was a little bit of monotony while reading this book, and lack of twists and turns, that would’ve make it more exciting. The language used was not difficult and easy to read, but I had to look up some German terms used in this book, as I’m not familiar with the language. The ending of the book was really entertaining but not complete. I wished more conclusions, and to know what happened to Dieter. To conclude, it is a great book if you looking for World War II stories of war from German perspective, love, and survival.
