The Fire King (Dirk & Steele, Book 9) miss the old dirk and steele group – C. Stone –
I liked that Soria had one arm. Really thought this would add something to the story since she wasnt a perfect cookie cutter heroine. I thought I would like Karr, this 3000 year old shifter born of dragon and lion. Instead of a great romance i was given a watered down mix of the Dirk and Steele agency that I have loved previously. Luckily I got this from the dollar store for a buck but still. I was really disappointed that Liu didnt bring back old characters especially since Soria use to work for the agency and dated the boss Roland.
The plot is pretty basic- Soria is bought in to translate for Karr who speaks an ancient dialect that no one can figure out. Soria has a psychic gift in a sense. She can speak any language spoken to her after hearing only a few phrases. Her fluency depends on the speaker themselves. Different angle and worked for the story. Evil factions are out to get Karr who is a mix of two shifter races and the two spend the rest of the story on the run not knowing who to trust.
The end is rushed and patched up in a quick neat bow that left me more dissatisfied
:
Long ago, shape-shifters were plentiful, soaring through the sky as crows, racing across African veldts as cheetahs, raging furious as dragons atop the Himalayas. Like gods, they reigned supreme. But even gods have laws, and those laws, when broken, destroy.
Zoufalstvi. Epatoivo. Asa. Three words in three very different languages, and yet Soria understands. Like all members of Dirk & Steele, she has a gift, and hers is communication. When she is chosen to learn the dead language of a shape-shifter resurrected after thousands of years of icy sleep, she discovers a warrior consumed with fury.
Strong as a lion, quick as a serpent — Karr is his name, and in his day he was king. But he is a son of strife, a creature of tragedy. As fire consumed all he loved, so death was to be his atonement. Now, against his will, he has awoken. Zoufalstvi. Epatoivo. Asa. In English, the word is despair. But Soria knows the words for love.
