Let There Be Dragons is the third book in Kim Cormack's Children of Ankh series. Let me say that if you have not started this series yet, or if you need a good series to begin this is it. Let There Be Dragons picks up right where Enlightenment leaves off. Kayn has survived the Testing with her clan, but she has come out a different person, she is now a Dragon like Lexy, and Zach is her Handler. She and Zach need to learn their new roles as they take on jobs and new tasks. All the while Kayn needs to learn her new Conduit abilities as well. Let There Be Dragons is full of everything that makes a nothing beyond fantastic, there is action (demon battles), romance (Lexy and Gray, Kayn and Frost, Zach and....). It is a series that needs to be read, demands to be read.
Kim starts the ball rolling in Sweet Sleep when we are introduced to Clan Ankh, Kayn and Kevin. Readers grow to love everyone in the story and BAM, Kim throws in a twist. Enlightenment, we watch Kayn grow with her clan and learn to deal with the loss of Kevin and gain the strength needed to survive the test, the BAM again more twists. She keeps this momentum in Let There Be Dragons, now we see Kayn in a new, more dangerous role. Kim has a talent for building up the tension and creating a tone throughout the novel that makes readers want to stop time and just read. Once I got to the end I seriously wanted to scream because I didn't want it to end. Kim leaves her readers desperately craving more as Kayn craves energy and hot sauce.
This volume of the series also gives us a bit of a steamy scene between Kayn and Frost, as scene that would put traditional romance novels to shame! As she builds the general tension between characters and action, she also builds the sexual tension between the two. While the characters are already well develop throughout the series thus far, Kim finds ways to develop them even more and adds new depth and meaning to them in each installment. I don't think I have read a series that had such complex and multi-layered characters. I cannot wait for more from Kim, I am excited to see what she has in store for Clan Ankh, and wonder if maybe there are other versions of the story in the works. How great would it be if we could have a series that focuses on Kevin, or even Clan Trinity? hint hint Kim!
Seriously, if you haven't read Sweet Sleep yet, do it. Begin the journey with the Children of Ankh, I promise you will not be disappointed. The series just keeps getting better. This would be a series I could definitely see as a movie franchise.
