The Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter
4.75
adventurous dark emotional tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Absolutely blown away that this is a debut. Winter is able to right such visually evocative scenes that makes this feel like a cinematic production. But that is not at the cost of great characterization and development for our main and side characters. Tau and his revenge story inceptions reminds me a lot of Daro from Red Rising - he makes mistakes, lets his anger get the better of him, and despite being expertly trained allows his emotions to betray is training, but he doesn’t have the same whininess that Daro has that really turned me off in Golden Son. 

Can’t wait to see where this goes.
