The King's Dragon by Sam Burns, W.M. Fawkes
4.0
Audible.
This is my first book by W. M. Fawkes or Sam Burns. It's a cliffhanger in that it's obviously the first in a series of books about an expanding world. However, there is a complete and enjoyable tale here and I don't feel cheated or that it was stuffed with pointless filler. I want more, but in a good way. While there are MF, MM, and FF relationships, this is primarily an "epic fantasy" with romance being a secondary, yet well written, part of the plot. There are only two sex scenes (MM) and neither are overly long and both serve the story well. Probably the biggest hurdle for me was the sheer number of characters presented in the world building. I found myself referring to the ebook text to clarify exactly who was being mentioned a few times. I found the mix of political & familial dynamics intriguing and the pacing engaging. I'm definitely looking forward to the next book and the rest of the series.
I am familiar with Greg Boudreaux as a narrator and he is fantastic here as always. This was my first experience with Lessa Lamb and I look forward to more of her performances. Both narrators did an excellent job of giving distinctive accents & voices to all the characters.
