Dragonmark (Dark-Hunter, #25; Lords of Avalon, #5; Were-Hunters, #9)
Sherrilyn Kenyon
#1 New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon brings us back to the astonishing world of the Dark-Hunters in Dragonmark, where man and mythology collide. . . Centuries ago, Illarion was betrayed--a dragon made human against his will, then forced to serve humanity as a dragonmount in their army, and to fight for them in barbaric wars, even while he hated everything about them. Enslaved and separated from everyone he knew and from his own dragon brothers, he was forced into exile in a fey realm where he lost the only thing he ever really loved. Now Illarion has a chance to regain what's been lost--to have the one thing he covets most. But only if he gives up his brothers and forsakes the oaths he holds most dear. Yet what terrifies him most isn't the cost his happiness might incur, it's the fact that there is just enough human in his dragon's heart that he might actually be willing to pay it and betray everything and everyone--to see the entire world burn...

Ok.
So I like Illarion's story, for real, I think that honestly it was good.
Good characters, nice background, well done conections, she did a good job with it and its a good new addition to the darkhunterverse.
Now, I dont have massive issues with the story parts that took place during other books, but I do have a problem with them being just copied and pasted. She could have done better with those parts, they were important for the story since this books are also meant to be read as standalones if the reader wants to, but she could have put them from Illarion's POV and that would have given the reader another way to read those parts and also new information, not just repeating what we already now word by word.
The way she put these scenes were unnecessary and it looks like lazy writing.
I honestly think that she could just time skip all these parts and take more from Illarion's present as well as showing us more about his future.
I know for a fact that she can do this kind of stories better bc I've been reading her for years and this is not her first attempt to write this kind of books.
As I said before I truly enjoyed his story, but Im kind of dissapointed with the way she crafted the middle parts in it.
All that said I give this book 3.8 stars.
