W.R. Cooper

Reviewed by Kathryn Bennett for Readers' Favorite

Oriana Oakleigh and the Dragon Danes by W.R. Cooper is the second

book of the series and Oriana is back. Alas, her home, beloved

Oakleigh Manor, is just not right. However, she will not stop her quest

to save the faerie world before it is to late by saving its Queen. As if

having to save a Queen and a people were not enough, Oriana is being

hunted by the Dragon Danes; they want her and her ivory basket. She

will not let them win, however, because she has friends and a purpose

to fulfill - the last instruction of Lord Whitethorn.

I have not read book one so I started with this one and WOW what a

fast moving, very full plot. There are many elements and lands and

myths blended into one with this book and I loved every moment of it.

You have intrigue and danger and Oriana is my kind of gal. No matter

what she has thrown at her, she is the kind of person who does not

give up; she still plugs on as she wants to fulfill her quest. Eye on the

prize is something I very much understand and enjoy. The flow of the

book is good and the twists come in the right spots for me. I truly do

enjoy the writing style that W.R. Cooper brings to the stage. I am

going to be going back and reading the first book (although this can

stand on its own)
