Time is running out for the Dragon Horse Army while two unlikely heroines struggle to put aside their attraction and find a way to stop a deadly cult. Dragon Horse War, Book 3

Seer and the Shield

Megan Cooper

A satisfying end to the Dragon Horse War series. Like the other books, this one focuses more on a new couple - Antonia and Maya - but keeps the MCs from the other books as strong secondary characters. I'm not sure that Antonia and Maya were strong enough characters compared to their predecessors and I found myself more interested in what was going on with Kyle and Tanisha or even Jael and Alyssa. 

As the third and final book in the series, there's lots going on and a lot to wrap up. At times things seemed to be a bit rushed and the speed at which the bad guys gained control strained credulity - the overarching story that examined the opposing ideologies of the collective vs capitalism/individualism was a lot to tackle and sometimes suffered from falling back to stereotype villains and motivations. Despite that, I enjoyed the storyline and was happy enough to suspend my disbelief and bullshit meter and just enjoy the action packed story line. 

I'm hoping D Jackson Leigh takes another foray into the realm of spec-fic as I think that this was a very successful venture outside the lesfic standard series.

When The Natural Order’s focus shifts from evangelism to a grab for world dominance, the outcome of the Dragon Horse War depends on two unlikely heroines—an anti-social quartermaster and a reticent seer. Lt. Antonia only trusts a neat row of figures or a complete inventory list. So when she suddenly finds herself responsible for a group of hostages kidnapped by the dangerous cult, she’s reluctant to give any credence to the visions of Maya, a beautiful seer. The two women struggle to trust in each other’s abilities, but still are inexplicably drawn together by an attraction that burns hotter than dragon breath. Book Three of the Dragon Horse War Series
