The Rage of Dragons

4.25 AVERAGE


I’m not sure how to rate this book. There were parts I liked and parts that were just boring. There were times that I forgot the main characters were still young by my way of thinking (part of that may have been the narrator’s voice).

Will I read the next one? Yes, probably, but I’m not going to run out to get it. Will I remember it in a year? Probably not. Will I recommend it to a friend? Maybe, if we are talking about BIPOC authors/diverse settings/BIPOC characters.

I do not think it is a bad book. I’m just not head over heals about it.

One more thing - it was the back cover that drew me in. And while accurate, the story was nothing like I imagined based on what the back cover told me. Nothing.

Gave the audio a try and the man's voice is very soooooothing. Plus I am not very patient at the moment and I wanted more dragons. Sorry book, I'm sure you're great I'm just not in the mood for your pace right now!

Absolutely loved this one! It was intense, and brutal at points. 

I found the main character frustrating at points, but also I understood why he felt the way he did and why he did the things he did. 

The plot was really interesting, and this feels different than other fantasy I've read which is a nice change of pace! 

I am really excited to continue with the story. 
slow-paced
