Dragon Kin: Alonia & Trift (book 3)
Alonia is the kind of elf who wears a pretty dress to go gathering in the forest just because it makes her happy. And it seems to work. It gathers her a dragon, one who likes to be silly and moon over cute boys just like she does.
Which is all fine and good until they turn the weapon’s master’s sword into… well, I can’t tell you. That would be a spoiler. ;)
Dragon Kin: Alonia & Trift is book three of a fantasy series for readers who love dragons, ordinary heroes, and bravery that has to be earned one day at a time.
A note from Audrey: I tell stories of hope, resilience, belonging, and finding what (and who!) matters. I do that in a lot of different genres, but you’ll always get those things in an Audrey Faye book. :)

At last
The wait for this book seemed endless, but understandable. So cool to see Mother and daughter continuing to work together on this series. I enjoyed immensely this, the third book, and really like the direction the series is headed. The ''dream''trips back in time and the communication between the past and the present is handled well, and i for one am already awaiting the next. For lovers of stories with dragons and humanoids equal in partnership, go,get it. Highly recommended.
Heroes are not always traditional
Yes, our Alonia and Trift are defintely silly and fun loving, but as we find out, that doesn't mean you aren't a hero in your own way. Not all heroes are big and bold. Not all heroes can step in and just effortlessly save the day. Our bonded pair here tend to look on the bright positive side for the most part. They struggle with the gift they have been given and have a hard time trying to live up to everyone's expectations. Another lesson here, in that not all can be taught in the same exact way, and teachers can learn new paths to help. Friends support each other and help ease the way as well. I love the time hop with the ancestors evolving in each book and what the world shapes each generation into, and how you can start to see how each has developed into the way they are. I absolutely adore Kis and Irin. They are strong, gruff and to the point, as well as injured in their own way but they don't let that stop them. Every know and then they show a soft side that doesn't come out often, which makes it even more enjoyable. This series has now made it to the top of my to re-read short list.
Dragon Kin Book 3: Loved this book and Love author's style and voice
There may be little things to quibble over but the overall story of love and hope and caring and friendships take me to a place I want to be. I bought all 5 books after reading the first 2. I LOVED THIS STORY, and the series so far. I'm on book 4 now. Reading one after another. Will need to check out her other books. It is hard to find good authors - at least authors I relate too. And Audrey Faye is one of my NEW FAVORITES! Thank you Audrey. OH, I even went to her site and signed up. I also love these words from Audrey: "I tell stories of hope, resilience, belonging, and finding what (and who!) matters." Truly, my heart feels lighter after reading each Dragon Kin book.
Great series!
I was drawn into the stories almost immediately. The mixing of dragons with elves and humans is magical. Couldn't stop reading the series. Finish one start another unless it's midnight or later. Must be read in order as each book is a continuation of the story. Each book is from a different character/dragon mix. Plenty of crying due to her making me feel the characters love, empathy, sorrow and caring of friends and "kin."
Different but unique
Alonia and Trift like to have a good time, both are very at home in the forest and find they have a unique gift that comes into play at a very crucial point in the story. The bonding process brings them closer while they discover just what it takes to make their gift work when it counts the most.
Extraordinary!
The books just keep getting better! The idea of kind dragons is an old and dear one. The idea of telepathic dragons, newer, but still wonderful. Couple this with elves as "kin" and it makes a wonderful story, especially showing the two of the species as enemies in olden times. The characters are stronger and more "alive" as each story is told. The plot is easily followed and the ending most satisfying. I could not possibly recommend this series, more.
Thank you
Audrey Faye, you continue to be my FAVORITE author and now Shae is writing with you. I have not been reading for awhile, caught up in other pleasurable things. I needed some restful time and there you were. How do you do it? Write such wonderful books - all of your books under all of your names. I am so grateful to you for touching my heart in so many ways through so many characters and stories. Thank you. Love, Linda
Fascinating concept with the future and the past
Fascinating concept with the future and the past meeting and helping each other. The wisdom of the lineage of Queens continuing to benefit future generations of dragons. Wonderful imagery and storytelling.
Fun Easy Read
I loved this series. The world building was great and the stories were full of inclusion, overcoming fears, and kindness. They were a breath of fresh air. They were also great reads. I couldn’t put the books down and could not wait to find out what happened next. Perfect YA stories.
Enchanting story!!!
The characters are engaging, feisty elf and lazy dragon who doesn't like flying. The plot goes from present to past and vice versa, and resolves with a wonderful twist. I loved this book, and intend go go on reading the following books in the series.
