The Dinosaur Lords by Victor Milán
3.0

(3.5 stars)

I received this book as a gift from my boyfriend :D

Writing
The writing has a strong personality? I mean I would be able to distinguish this style among others, though it’s hard to pinpoint exactly why... Something to do withe sentence structure. It’s is rather fluid and pleasant though.
Story
There’s no clear objective set at the beginning of the book. It’s more like a slice of life thing, but lots of stuff is happening so you’re never bored.
World
The good: dinosaurs everywhere. The less good: the fact that it’s not earth but there are lots of winks to languages or countries, and it gets a bit old. (Francia, for example, for France)
Characters
There are lots of characters, and at first it’s hard to understand who’s a main character and who’s less important. I mean it’s good because all the characters are developed, but it’s also a bit annoying at the beginning because it’s confusing.

Conclusion
This book has defaults, but the concept is interesting enough to carry the reader through! I liked it a lot, even though its dense contents made it a long read. I will definitely read the next one, and I do recommend to people a bit bored with conventional fantasy.
