"Ira" by Jason F. Boggs is a follow-up story to the Devil's Dragon trilogy. Readers are advised to read this trilogy before the book IRA. This standalone story, featuring the series antagonist, Ira Bilis, introduces the Dragon Trilogy universe and characters from both sides of a conflict leading up to and during the Aesini War, aiming to be a gateway into the wider Dragon verse.  
 
The book provides a prior summary of The Devil’s Dragon (TDD) for readers just before the story of Ira, telling of the final battle building up to the vengeful quest of Ira; after Seghol and Freeman are killed in the final battle, Nelson and Alene win. Ira Bilis escapes, seeking an ally and plotting to defeat Nelson and destroy Alene.   
 
The eighteenth chapter of Ira tells the battle and war from both perspectives, making the readers aware of their beliefs and driving forces. Ira, formerly known as Louise, an innocent fifteen-year-old young lady, became battered by the abuse from her uncle and betrayed by her loved ones, turning her into Ira, an aggressive and dictatorial commander who destroys anything and everyone that stands against her, filled with hate, as she believes what she does is right.  
 
Alene and Nelson are of different races. Aesini and humans, respectively, bottled their feelings for each other, plagued by the destruction of her people by Ira. Alene's quest was to bring victory to her people by killing Ira with her hands. What happened at the end? Get the book to learn more.  
 
The two characters in the book that stand out for me are Nelson and Alene, who are my favorite protagonists. Alene is a compassionate figure who is always ready to fight the good fight against evil.   
 
The author did exceptional work in creating an exciting and engaging book in this series. It was engaging and captivating, keeping the reader engaged from start to finish, with no dull moment in the narrative. There is nothing I dislike in this book. The book is perfectly edited.   
 
I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because of the captivating information in it. The mythology, the mythical, the science discussion, and the supernatural elements make it a masterpiece on its own. The book is recommended for lovers of science fiction novels and supernatural books.

I have to say that I haven't read the Devil's Dragon trilogy but it seemed like an interesting story that mixes aliens with supernatural stuff. This follow-up novel completes the trilogy in some ways telling a different point of view. Thank you for your great review!

I appreciate how you've highlighted the unique perspective this standalone story offers, focusing on the series antagonist Ira Bilis. The way you've described Ira's transformation from Louise to a vengeful commander is intriguing - it sounds like a complex character study that delves deep into the effects of trauma and betrayal.

I'm particularly interested in the dual perspective of the battle you mentioned in chapter eighteen. It's always fascinating to see both sides of a conflict and understand the motivations driving each character.
