A review by fantasy_with_me
Dragongirl by Todd McCaffrey
3.0
You can tell this is written by a man fantasizing about a chick who sleeps /with/ every guy she meets... How did she go from crushing only on Kindan, to developing feelings for Tamar, to suddenly having threesomes left and right? Even with leaders from other Weyrs when she was just there to help tend to the injured... Her reasoning is very vague and unrealistic.
The pregnancy details also had me going "yep, this is all a man knows, peeing a lot".
Also drives me crazy that no one understands that an airborne illness can PASS ON TO OTHER VICTIMS! Let's just clean up this dragons gunk and immediately go to the queen and love on her...? Oh wow she's sick too how'd that happen.
Fiona even says in this book that timing it is tough and dangerous. But they timed it as often as they breathed, constantly. Okay.
And every sentence in this book is very dramatic responses in convos between people. All side looks and eyebrow raises and raising their hands at each other and getting grumpy and embarassed. Relax.
This is also a long book, so while I have gripes with it in the details, I did read it easily and it kept me entertained. Some other reviews complain it's "part of a series of books" but I like that. I don't like having only one book to enjoy characters and a plot before moving on. I may not like everything about how the book is telling the story, but I'm here for someone else's story, not my own.
