Heritage of Power #3
Origins
Are you still human if your father was a dragon?
Even though Captain Trip always knew he was a little odd, he’s still shocked by the revelation that the elder gold dragon, Agarrenon Shivar, sired him. It’s time, however, to accept reality and learn to use his power, even if it alienates him from his magic-fearing friends—and the woman he’s come to care about. With enemy dragons threatening to kill or enslave everyone in his homeland, he has no choice.
But even if he becomes a great sorcerer, it won’t be enough to fight off all the dragons threatening Iskandia, so Trip suggests a mission to General Zirkander. He wants to lead a team, with the scholarly Lieutenant Ravenwood’s help, to locate his sire. Agarrenon Shivar, once respected and feared by his own kind, may be the perfect ally for Iskandia—if Trip can talk him into siding with humanity.
Just one problem: the ancient dragon hasn’t been seen for thousands of years, and Trip has no idea how his long-dead mother found him.

Trip quiere conocer a su padre, quiere saber de donde viene, pero ademas desea que puedan reclutar al viejo dragon como apoyo al reino. Asi que le pide al General Zirkander si seria posible ir en una mision para ver si podian reclutar al viejo dragon, pero tambien sabe que no puede ir en ninguna mision si no logra controlar y manejar sus poderes. Asi que cuando pasa un mes sin noticias del general, asume que va a seguir con sus clases de hechizero y sus vuelos con el escuadron Wolf, pero una tarde en casa del general este llega con Rhysa y Kaika indicandole que ellas van a ser parte de esa mision y que tiene un mes para completarla, logre o no reclutar al dragon.
Asi que ahora vuelven a volar el mismo grupo rumbo a una isla donde se presume que no se puede utilizar la magia, y que no solo puede ser el hogar del viejo dragon, sino tambien el orginen de la espadas mata-dragon y donde quizas Trip logre conseguir lo que estaba buscando sino mas.
Aqui vemos mucho de la historia pasada de los dragones, no se si pudo haber mas detalles en la saga anterior, pero aqui se cubre bastante bien lo que fue la vida de ciertos dragones poderosos en la epoca de mayor augue de ellos sobre el planeta. Me gusto mucho la forma como el autor enfoco las sectas creadas de adoracion de dragones, y como el grupo no podia dejar de ayudarse entre ellos, aunque no fuera lo mas conveniente.
Pero no me gusto la forma como los protas, Rhysa y Trip, lucharon contra sus deseos por el tema del "control mental" de Trip, porque al final despues de tanta lucha igual se acostaron y en el peor de los sitios posibles.
Todavia tengo sentimientos encontrados con el tema de las capsulas de invernacion y los bebes que estan cargando encima, no se como va a lograr el autor hacer funcionar eso, asi como tampoco entiendo el tema del Dreyak y su busqueda del emperador "secuestrado", pero bueno me imagino que eso sera el tema para el otro libro, ya veremos como se desarrolla.

Review of the series:
I read this series before finishing the prequel series. While you do get some spoilers about what's to come in the other series you otherwise don't need to read the other one to enjoy this one. It incorporates Lindsay's trademarks- her silly, light humor, her quirky unconventional characters and lots of action.
None of this author's books contain a lot of worldbuilding. That works for me because I can fill in a good bit on my own. Plus, too much detail will drag down the pace. However, if you need a lot of complex worldbuilding and details then your enjoyment might be diminished.
Her characters are all quirky and unconventional heroes and heroines. That is one of the things I love about this author, how her characters are all unusual and misfits in their own ways. For the most part they start as underdogs and grow into their potential which is very satisfying to read. Her books are very much character and action driven.
I also love the female positivity in her books. They aren't the in your face, all men are bad and women rule and are superior types. They simply show a variety of really strong women in very different ways who display different types of competency. They also easily hold their own next to men.
If you like some light hearted fantasy that doesn't take itself too seriously, along with some humor then give this author a try. Humor is always very personal and not everyone enjoys the same types. This author's humor tends to be a little screwball, perhaps a bit sophomoric, broad and droll. If you need more of a highbrow type of wit looks elsewhere. I think her humor adds to the feel of her books, that they are for escapism and not meant to be taken overly seriously. Basically, her books are great for getting away from the real world for a bit.

The review of the entire series is available at my blog
Trip decides to find his Dragon father in the hope that the Dragon can exert its influence on lesser dragons. So the team ends up visiting the mysterious continent of Rakgorath.
If Revelations is all about action, Origins is a mystery at its core. In fact,I got an Indiana Jones vibe throughout the book. The team gets to meet dangerous cults and explore mysterious temples and dungeons to learn what has happened.
The plot and pacing is good but is not as fast as Revelations. We get to see a few more characters and the ending is a doozy.
Another great book in the series.

This is the volume I would have called Revelations
Trip struggles to control his developing powers, especially his troubling ability to not only look into but also *manipulate* others' minds, while at the same time dealing with the fear that his dragon-father may be/may have been someone horrible, better never found.
Rysha must get past her justified wariness and anger toward "powerful Trip" for the pair to reach the consummation of their sweet attraction, based on appreciation of the other's quirks at least as much as looks.
BTW, I should point out that said consummation is fade-to-black — a "plus" for some readers, a "minus" for others, but this is NOT one of Lindsay's "writing as Ruby Lionsdrake" smexy tales!
There are surprises about Trip's origins and that of the chapaharii (anti-magic) weapons, some creepy-cool magical hybrids and cave organisms, plus magical-mechanical creations of both the deadly and charming sorts. Trip's tinkering is not forgotten; it's as much a part of him as his love of flying, or Rysha her scholarly knowledge and desire to learn more — and share it.
I was surprised that the previous volume's cast were all back for this one, even magic-fearing Leftie. The only real new characters of note were Trip's grandparents, who raised him after his mother's wrongful death, and who may know more than they've told him about his parentage. I wondered how much the friendly dragons, especially Bhrava Saruth (the self-proclaimed god), would participate in this volume, but the answer is, only an early bit.
By the end, some questions have been answered, and a task or two have been completed (even if not necessarily as planned), but new projects and responsibilities have been undertaken to go on with. Of course, the major over-plot, how to deal with the influx of dragons with violent conquest on their minds, is far from solved.
Now that I've read all three volumes that came out in the initial push, I've got to wait a few more weeks for #4, Unraveled, comingin February January 31! ☺.
Oh, P.S., the editing/proofreading is quite good. I only caught one iffy syntax (a redundant "to"), possibly an artifact of rewording.

I have zero restraint and read this one in two days (again). Loved this latest installment of the new Dragon Blood series which picks up right where book 2 left off. I'm not sure how many books she has planned for this series, but if you are getting hooked on Buroker's stories, I recommend checking out her new patreon option. It's hard to give much of a recap without spoilers, but the end brings a twist I didn't see coming.
February 4, 2018
As much as I like L.Buroker’s stories (despite the romance-y thing, which says something), this one was disappointing. Rysha was annoying, the romance was annoying, the banter felt too much, there were some far-fetched moments ... well, like I said, disappointing.
These things happen *shrug*

A very good read and sets the scene nicely for the 4th book (whenever that may be)!
May 17, 2018
PS! This review is for the first five books in the Heritage of Power series/the entire series (depending on whether Buroker decides to grace her readers with more stories about these characters).
I read the entire series back to back, and honestly, I don't think I could easily differentiate between these five books just because the plot flowed easily and honestly it just felt like one story to me. Sure, there were different plots to each of them, but the romance between Trip and one bespectacled officer made the story flow like one story for me.
I loved meeting some of my old favourites from Buroker's "Dragon Blood" series - some of those characters were more prominent, such as Jaxi and Bhrava Saruth, but they didn't take over the series as their own. It was still mostly Trip's story and really, really enjoyed it.
Buroker herself has said that Heritage of Power is a different series from Dragon Blood and if one wished, they could simply skip Dragon Blood before diving into this series, but I actually feel as if some of the reading experience would be lost that way. I have read all of the books in the Dragon Blood series and I still felt that some parts needed a bit refreshing as some connections between different characters or their backgrounds weren't as clear as they maybe could have been. However, Buroker did a great job at trying to describe these different relationships without spoiling the contents of the other series if a reader hasn't read any or some of those books.
And as always with Buroker's books - once you start, it's really, really difficult to stop and once you do finish with all of the books, you feel like you want more. I definitely want more as I need to know what happens to Shulina Arya and if she finds herself someone as well.

i am still reading and enjoying it.
the MC's are less annoying but still kinda angsty.
the fun adventure and DRAGONS!!! are greater than the angst though.
not her best series though. there were some things that happened that didn't make logical sense for the characters to do. you read enough of these you start thinking strategy. with the powers and intelligence the characters had shown previously war wise some stuff just didn't make sense.

This book felt a bit like a filler, but I didn't really mind.
I got to see a bit more of Trip's relationships and there's a lot of character development, that's always a good thing in a series.
And it made me really curious about the next book! I'm trying to imagine how the author will wrap this up in so few books left.

Was eagerly going through this series until I reached what is being called a "twist" at the end. Really not happy with it. Seriously questioning if I will continue reading.

A great read with a good story, excellent characters, action, magic and dragons. It has everything you want.

I don't know what happened but at some point, Rysha and Trip just stopped being likable to me. Maybe it was their insecurities, which is something that usually doesn't bother me too much. It was getting a touch annoying that each of them would second guess if the other was still interested.
But.. the thing that really didn't make sense was how Rysha I realize that they had to finish a mission together, but it seemed so sudden that they were back on good terms. And,
In any case, I think because the crew was crabby (Blazer specifically), it made me a little crabby, maybe. I just didn't like it as much as the last two.

April 2, 2018
This one was probably a 4.5. The plot and mission isn’t quite as exciting and fast paced as the first 2 books - but I still enjoyed it a lot. I also like the main character. Buroker did a great job of developing Trip and his “coming of age” while learning magic. (Even though he does progress very quickly in this book, it’s still awesome)

Good plot & characters
This is a good story that has characters with flaws, which names for a well developed world and plot. The females aren't damsels in distress, but are just as capable as the males, which I appreciated. A bit of romance, but lots of action and drama. Definitely recommended!

Trip convinced Ridge Zirkander that they will need to find his sire, a supposedly powerful and respected figure who may potentially ally himself with Iskandia. The entire team from Book 2 is back again on this mission with Major Blazer as commanding officer. These people knew who Trip was and he trusted them. Leftie, Trip's friend, is still unable to wrap his head around Trip's heritage and this has caused a rift in their friendship. Trip is growing into his powers with the help of the 2 soul blades (yes, even Jaxi is back on this mission) and his healing powers come in handy. Their mission takes them to a faraway land and the no magic zone. Rysha and Trip become closer and their relationship gets more complicated when the Dorfindral, the chapaharii sword is involved. In the land where they searched for Trip's father, they encounter a character from previous books. This story includes the origins of Dorfindral and his kind. Very interesting with new foes, bickering soul blades, love-hate relationships and dragonlings. Rysha shows her academic brilliance in this story and she plays a pivotal role in their mission. The team loses a crew member towards the end. Trip discovers his origins and he has mixed emotions. Despite his magic, he tries to do the right thing and be honorable.
I have so many questions at the end of the book: what will happen to their finds when they get back to Iskandia? Will the temporary ceasefire between Iskandia and Cofahre be revoked? On to Book 4!

Tripp, Rysha, Duck, Kaika, Blazer and Leftie head to a foreign land to see if they can locate his father, the gold dragon Agarrenon Shivar.
The country is not welcoming to foreigners, has a massive murdering dragon cult that worships Agarrenon and also seems to be where the anti-magic swords may have been made.
Not a fun trip for anyone overall, as Trip fears that he may become like his father and Rysha fears Trip's growing power. But of course it all works out for almost everyone in the end.

The group from the last adventure is together again, this time on a quest to find Captain Telryn “Trip” Yert’s sire, the golden dragon Agarrenon Shivar. They’re hoping to secure him as an ally in their fight against the marauding dragons that have come through the now closed portal. The search leads them first to Trip’s grandparents house to search for clues his mother may have left, and then to Rakgorath, an inhospitable continent filled with unfriendly people. More adventures ensue, with lots of inappropriate witticisms from his teammates, dangerous plants and animals to deal with, and crazy dragon cultists to defeat. Once again Trip and the team come through the adventure after demonstrating much courage and skill and then it gets interesting. A former teammate is discovered in the port where they’re looking for passage home, and now there’s a mystery to be solved - which will be for the next story to explain. I love this new series and all of the quirky characters, including our shy and humble, but enormously powerful Trip. I am eagerly looking forward to the next installment.

I have to admit that, even though I’ve never met her, I adore Lindsay Buroker. Whether writing sci fi or fantasy (of various varieties) under her own name, or SFR under her Ruby Lionsdrake, all of her books and series have been uniformly superb. She not just a favorite indie author but a favorite author period. Her Heritage of Power series is s perfect example of why this is so. Fantastic plots, wonderfully crafted worlds, and great characters (plus, of course, extremely talented writing). What more could one ask for? In Origins, the third book of the series this continues. The publisher’s blurb summarized the plot well enough so I’m not going to add more as I don’t want to spoil things l, but let’s just leave it that once again we’ve got an exciting adventure full of thrills, twists and turns, and wonderful characters. Captain Trip is a real trip (sorry, I just couldn’t resist that line) and this book is pure enjoyment.

More dragon intrigue
I've liked this series from the very beginning. I like how it ties in in a logical fashion to the previous series. I like how the characters and story lines carry over. I like the new characters and how characters with only bit parts in the previous series get a starring role here.
Trip is on a mission to find his dragon sire and finds his previous team assembled to assist him. They have to travel to an inhospitable land that contains a magic "dead zone" in order to further their search. Along the way, Trip has to learn to come to grips with his dragon heritage in order to keep his friends and comrades alive. Ryan's also has to come to grips with Trio's heritage but for more personal reasons. There is plenty of action and snark to go around as Trip and his team find the answers to some questions and learn that there are more questions needing answers.

Wow
This is every bit as good as Terry Goodkin and the Sword series.. I am looking forward to reading the other novels

The old crew is put together again on a quest to find Trip's father and convince him to help against the invading dragons. Again a highly entertaining story of fights and discoveries with the quirky characters we met in the two first installments. While I enjoyed the adventure a lot I was bit annoyed by the personal angst between the two protagonists with the pretty thin base (*gee* girl, just keep the sword locked up at the base and accept that your wanne-be boyfriend is a sorcerer and may or may not influence you, with or without the sword, obviously he is a nice guy either way and won't do anything you wouldn't be willing to give anyway, right?). Sorry, but this on/off between those two did cost the book a star - other than that: great page turner, and the best part - rumor has it that two more books in this series are coming!
January 8, 2018
Definitely the most exciting in the Heritage of Power series so far! I read the entire thing in one day, and couldn't put it down. Many of the twists and turns were unpredictable, which was what kept me on my toes. Learning more about Trip alongside him was really fun, and I enjoyed the ways in which his relationships with the other team members evolve as well. Rysha's character development is also fun to follow, as I feel that she's becoming more confident in her abilities and contributions to the team. It'll be hard to wait until February for Heritage of Power, #4.

Review
Good book for going adults. A good easy read as part of the series. The storyline easily flows from book to book. A four star review because like most middle books it is a transition book.

I like Lindsey Buroker’s science fiction better than her fantasy novels and this wasn’t one of my favorites among her fantasy novels. While it did remind me a little bit of Edgar Rice Burroughs, I thought the plot dragged and the ending was a little goofy. I have all five novels in this series as part of a bundle so I may continue at some time but this novel did not make me want to dive right in to the continuation of the story.
January 3, 2018
YEAH for the "ODD" ones! As a BN reader, I love Lindsay Buroker's new Patreon option. Now I can get all her ebooks. Origins finds Captain Trip in search of his dragon father in hopes of persuading him to fight for Iskandia. ..fast paced...full of snarky banter...exploding bombs..sorcery...dragons in typical Lindsay style. Now if only HoP #4 was available to read I would be soooo happy.
