Publisher's summary

An Epic Fantasy Novel.

Frayka must find and convince the dragon gods of the Far East to appease the gods of her Northland heritage. If she fails, her own Northlander gods will destroy all the mortals who once promised to worship them.

The Far East is a mysterious place of legend to Northlanders like Frayka. Only an old map can show her how to get there. Once she arrives, all of Frayka's sensibilities put her in danger. And every dangerous turn delays her from finding the dragon gods whose help she so desperately needs.

Although Frayka looks like a Far Easterner, she is a powerful Northlander warrior who is quick to voice her thoughts. She is trained to fight and won't hesitate to do so.

But everything about Frayka puts her in deadly peril in the Far East, where the laws are strict and the punishment cruel.

Especially when the one being punished is a woman.

Book 1 of this cycle. . .hmm

Ok, first off, the narrator sounded stiff and choppy which kind of took away from the story. Second, there was a lot of repetition and not a lot of depth. It was an ok story. We'll have to see how the next three books play out.

The first of an excellent series.

I originally read and reviewed Gate of Air in November of 2021 at which point I set a goal that I’m now in the process of fulfilling. That goal was stated in my original review of this book that is included below. I am on the last series in the Dragon Slayer/Dragon Gods series having now listened to them in their chronological order.

*****

I have become addicted to reading Resa Nelson’s stores/series and the Dragon Gods series is the latest that I’m feeding that addiction. In this case Following Frayka on her quest to convince the Dragon Gods to appease the Northlander Gods was like getting reacquainted with several characters/old friends who populate her other series. As I get time my goal is to not only read all Resa’s series, but to reread them in the chronological order of the story lines. Considering I rarely ever reread books, this is a must accomplish task/goal I have set for myself simply because these stories are so enjoyable.

*****

Listening to this story roughly two years later has allowed me to not only enjoy it once again, but to pick out things that weren’t apparent to me when I was reading this story. Furthermore, since I had not previously read any of Resa’s series in chronological order I had no appreciation for how each series tied into the next. Now understanding Frayka’s origin and her relationship with Greeta and Pengzi Po this story was so much more entertaining than my initial reading. Of course, Resa’s narration of her own story adds so much since she is intimately familiar with each character and their individual stories.

First in the Next of the Dragon Cycle series

This book is the first in the next series of the Dragon Cycle, which features Fraka's story. Although the author's narration has improved, it is still very mechanical and lacks differentiation in the various character's voices.
