House of Dragons by Jessica Cluess
4.0
My sister actually got this book for me, and honestly I probably wouldn’t have picked it up otherwise, but I was pleasantly surprised by it. The book was a little slow at the beginning, and honestly didn’t reveal much about the characters. It only began to get exciting during the middle of The Race.
I liked how Emilia was revealed to be a chaotic, but I feel it could have been better. I’m not talking about the part where she was alone and demonstrated her power, but rather when she told Lucien. Just an opinion.
The ending was, dare I say it, riveting. I feel so sophisticated using that word. But anyways, it seemed comparable to the ending of Game of Thrones? Like the author wanted a book with dragons and different houses and a throne they all want? And in the end of GoT it wasn’t even someone they expected. Like in this book, but here it was four of them. The ending seemed similar because Hyperia, who seemed like Dany, went on a rampage of burning the city after she seemingly “won” the throne. And then *poof* she’s gone.
It was pretty good, but was not worth 5 stars.
