Survival is the only currency...   For centuries, the vast Ironship Trading Syndicate relied on drake blood--and the extraordinary powers it confers to those known as the Blood-blessed--to fuel and protect its empire. But when the drake blood lines began to fail, a perilous expedition was mounted to secure them.   Claydon Torcreek survived the fraught mission through uncharted lands in pursuit of a myth that might have secured his people's future. Instead he found a nightmare. The legendary White Drake was awoken from a millennia-long slumber, with a thirst to reduce the world of men to ashes, and the power to compel an army of Spoiled slaves to do it.   Spurred on by a vision he desperately hopes he can trust, Clay and rebel naval officer Corrick Hilemore hijack a warship and head towards the icy southern seas, searching for an ancient secret that may give them and their allies a fighting chance. They are aided on another front by Blood-blessed agent Lizanne Lethridge. The spy and assassin will use her diplomatic status to infiltrate deep into enemy territory on a quest for a device to save them all.   As the world burns around them, and the fires of revolution are ignited, these few Blood-blessed are the last hope for all of civilisation.… (mais)

It's a rare thing to love the second book so much more than the first, but that is the case with The Legion of Flame! I loved the different character perspectives and all the different story arcs. I had a hard time putting this thing down because I was dying to see what might happen next! The introduction of a few new characters was an excellent touch as well. Face-paced. Full of action. Awesome character development and world-building. And drakes. Need I say more?

Definitely give this series a read! ( )

Complexe wereld, intrigerende karakters die voor morele dilemma's geplaatst worden, diverse plottwisten, politiek gesteggel, gruwelijke gevechten, draken, en een avontuur dat de gehele wereld lijkt te omspannen. Het maakt dat ik van iedere leesminuut genoten heb. Het maakt ook dat ik er niet snel doorheen vloog, maar echt moest gaan zitten voor dit verhaal.

Ik hou van kapitein Heilmoer. Ik kan het niet anders zeggen. De plichtsgetrouwheid, gecombineerd met een moreel besef en de capaciteit om drastische beslissingen te nemen, maken van hem een zeer aantrekkelijke man.

Daarnaast hou ik van Lizanne. Wat is juffrouw Bloed gegroeid als mens. Haar kille handelen wordt verzacht door medeleven en haar begrip van de mensen om haar heen. Haar avonturen lees ik het liefst.

Ook zou ik best een beschuitje willen eten met Clee. Hoewel ik zijn avonturen het lastigst kon volgen, was ik elke keer weer blij als hij zichzelf en zijn kornuiten weer uit een hachelijke situatie wist te krijgen. Zo hier en daar werd het wel een tikje ongeloofwaardig, maar niks waar ik me niet snel overheen kon zetten. Zijn band met draken vind ik erg interessant en ik hoop dat dat in het volgende boek verder wordt uitgewerkt.

Sirus is een ander verhaal. Ik heb medelijden met hem, maar ik heb geen emotionele band met hem opgebouwd, zoals ik wel heb gedaan met Heilmoer, Clee en Lizanne. Niet dat hij niet interessant is, maar op de een of andere manier klik ik niet met zijn persoon. Zijn avonturen als min of meer gevangene van de Witte Draak zijn wel fascinerend, maar raken me een stuk minder dan de overige verhaallijnen.

Al met al is dit een zeer goed geschreven verhaal, met een complex en interessant plot in een even complexe en interessante wereld.

Ik ga dus met genoegen verder in deel 3. ( )

Book 2 picks up right where book 1 left off. Lizanne Lethridge, the blood blessed special agent is the Bond type agent, off to save the world while working behind enemy lines. Claydon Torcreek and Lt. Hilemore are off the the southern ice sea, trying to find a legend that will help them solve the mystery of what's coming to take over the world.
This features a very familiar feeling magic system featuring red/green/blue/black effects based on dragon's blood, late 19th century guns and cannon battles and dragons. Not terribly original, but not bad. ( )

Suffers from Second Book Syndrome in that it really isn't a standalone story and doesn't have a concrete narrative arc. The book suffers from basically being setup and build up for book 3.

I still like the setting and I liked having the world fleshed out a bit more. I especially liked the parts with the view of the Spoiled army and the drakes. Other parts, like the prison, seemed to drag on and on and on. ( )

Dit boek heeft wel een poosje stil in een hoekje liggen wachten tot ik er weer verder in wilde gaan, Om de een of andere reden vond ik het allemaal nogal verwarrend, maar toen ik eenmaal weer begon en er regelmatig hele stukken in las werd alles een stuk duidelijker. En het werd ook een spannend verhaal met draken en slechte mannen en nogal wat veldslagen. Deel 3 ligt klaar en daar ga ik dan ook niet te lang mee wachten. Dan blijf ik tenminste een beetje in de flow! ( )
