Knight returns to the Mageverse, June 8, 2007
This review is from: Master of Dragons (Mageverse, Book 8) (Mass Market Paperback)
If you have read any Angela Knight books you know they are "HOT" well be prepared this one is dynamite. As a matter of fact over half the book is in the bedroom, so to speak. Nevertheless, the story is fantastic. I don't know if this is the last one in the Mageverse, but I would think not. However, after this one she may have to stretch to get another one with as much action in the bedroom and out.
Nineva Morrow is a half human/half fairy princess, she is the avatar of a Goddess,Semira, who is imprisioned in a sword. She has been raised to know her destiny is to free the Goddess. She has visions and dreams of a blue dragon incinerating her. So she is not exactly thrilled to meet Kel.
Kel is a cobalt blue dragon, for 1500 yrs he was imprisoned in a sword. His friendship with Gwain got him through and in MASTER OF SWORDS he was finally released. Now the God of the Dragons has asked him to protect Nineva and help her release Semira. Semira is a fertility goddess and needs to be recharged by her avatar. Kel and Nineva do their best to recharge the goddess.
The Dark Ones are after Nineva, they have already stolen Llyr's sword and using the power of Nineva and Semira they will destroy the wards Merlin left to protect Earth.
This is a wonderful adult type fairy tale, and I liked it. It really did remind me of the fairy tales I read as a child, but with alot more detail and intimacy. Most of the characters from her other books make an appearance in this one.

Dragons Rule!, June 5, 2007
This review is from: Master of Dragons (Mageverse, Book 8) (Mass Market Paperback)
Master of Dragons pairs up dragon and a princess, right off the bat, you know Ms. Knight's working her own brand of magic, because usually the dragons eat the princess, right? Well, okay, I'll give you that's the case here too, but not the way you'd think.
Nineva is a fairy princess and also the the last of avatar of her goddess. She's in exile because an evil king who wants to kill her to stop a prophecy from coming true. All her life she's dreamed of a man, who despite his beauty, brings great pain, in the form of dragon's fire.
Kel is a dragon, however, when you're imprisoned in a sword for over a thousand years you have a lot of time to learn magic, including the spell to turn human. Once freed, he became the first Knight of the Round Table in over four hundred years, an honor he was happy to accept with all the many perks, and women that came along with it. But he's still a dragon first, so when his dragon god asks him to protect Nineva, he takes the job very seriously.
Nineva and Kel are the latest couple paired up to battle almost insurmountable odds to save the Mageverse and subsequently Earth as well. This time she's added the dragons to her vamps, witches, fairies and were's and oh my, what a mix it is! I loved Kel from the moment he talked out of that sword, and I've been wishing for his story ever since. They say be careful what you wish for.. well, they don't know what they're talking about. Kel and Nineva deliver on all levels. Kel is one of the sexiest heroes ever and Nineva is the most down to earth fairy princesses because of how she had to live. Master of Dragons is packed full of action, adventure, danger, romance, steam and just enough character cameos from the past books to satisfy your need to know that their Happily Ever Afters really did last forever after all.

My second Knight book, but I'm still a fan, September 19, 2007
This review is from: Master of Dragons (Mageverse, Book 8) (Mass Market Paperback)
Nineva Morrow is a princess of the sidhe, an avatar to the goddess Semira, and the only thing that stands between the Mageverse and the Dark Ones. Since birth, Nineva has been raised to believe that she will free Semira from an enchanted sword, and that in order to do so she will have to sacrifice herself to a blue dragon. Little did Nineva know that the blue dragon in question, Kel, would turn out to be her soul mate, and that together they would save the Mageverse from certain doom.
Master of Dragons is only my second Angela Knight book, but I'm still a huge fan of her work. Even though this book is number 8 in the Mageverse series, it's the first I've read in this storyline. That being said, there were definitely times when I knew I might have benefited from a little more background, but the story can definitely be read--and enjoyed--without that sort of grounding force. I liked this story, and will be sure to go back and read some of the others.
Nineva was an interesting heroine. She was born to be a martyr and her self-righteousness and determination to free Semira at all costs were both amusing and irritating. I think it took a hero of Kel's protective, arrogant, and strong nature to temper my initial dislike of her. By the time these two finally decided to make things work and combine their forces for the good of the Mageverse, I was feeling better about them both. Master of Dragons took some getting used to for me (but remember it's my first Mageverse book, so I'm probably in the minority), but once I started liking it, I couldn't wait to find out what happened. Read this book if you're in the mood for a romantic sci-fi fantasy story with a couple who is not afraid to kick a little tail.
