alaris 's review for:
The Rage of Dragons
by Evan Winter
adventurous
challenging
dark
tense
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Interesting world-building and a unique setting, but the training ended up being so very detailed that I was skimming through up to the last 100 pages roughly - I just don't enjoy descriptions of fight scenes much, and this was so very heavy on dry fighting choreography.
Tau as a character was also frustrating, and claiming this society is a matriarchy seems bizarre since there's almost no female characters (and the few that exist only get mentioned to inspire rampages of revenge from guys - which is a disgusting trope). I'm willing to give the second book a chance, but damn, this was a slog at times.
