Synopsis

Seattle native Matti Puletasi has the strength of a bear, the stamina of an ox, and a magical hammer inherited from her dwarven mother. She’s happy renovating homes and occasionally thumping bad guys until she learns of a mysterious artifact hidden under the house she’s working on. Everybody from humans to orcs to werewolves wants it, and they’re willing to kill to get it. Things go from bad to worse when someone frames her for murder. The only person interested in helping her is a haughty elf assassin from another realm. He’s handsome, powerful, and deadly, but he’s got an agenda of his own. She dare not trust him—or be attracted to him. But if she can’t clear her name, the assassin will be the least of her worries. ~Set in the same world as Death Before Dragons, the Legacy of Magic series is perfect for urban fantasy fans who enjoy adventure, snarky humor, and slow-burn romance stories with badass elves who should not be trusted.

If you enjoyed the Death Before Dragon series, you will find Legacy of Magic continues this world with new characters and a new love story. And of course it is the narrator Vivienne who brings all the character to wonderful life. Sometimes I like Willard the best! I have listened to the entire series and for me it does not disappoint, I snort often with humor at snippy and snarky comments. I strongly feel the tender moments. (I confess I do get tired of the goblins, but it's more the voice that bugs me). Also if you like to know the image of the woman, you will find that the image of Matti is spread out. She is 5 ft 1. She is half dwarf, half Samoan. I would say the cover art is an actual depiction of the author's intention. One of the books does state she has dark hair and dark eyes. She is not that much into self deprecation as some reviewers state, imo, however when an average gal meets a knock out gorgeous guy, Elf, well, who might not question with self doubt?

Goodreads review by Noone on March 10, 2023

I am kind of torn about this one. My biggest problem with this one is that way too much of it is basically just "Death Before Dragons".

Exciting new Death Before Dragons spin-off I’m a sucker for creative, ambiguous, play-on-words titles and I think I am not revealing too much when I say that in this case it has nothing to do with the state one might find oneself after imbibing too much alcohol (even though that is the meaning I asso......more

Goodreads review by Per Gunnar on January 05, 2023

This was a fairly average, almost mediocre, piece of urban fantasy. I cannot say that it is a bad book, I did enjoy reading it, but it is certainly not something that made me eager to read the next installment either. Having said that the book had some positive points so I probably will indeed read a......more
