Dragonspeak: Isaac's Blessing by Austin Valenzuela
2.0
Isaac’s Blessing is the story of three students; Boyd, Isaac and Rebekah, who live in a place where dragons are sacrificed as their soul provides power. These students are heading towards a test to determine if they will become an apostle to the Lord Jericho. Each chapter is told from a different point of view and encapsulates how well-done and ever-changing these characters can be.
I wasn’t able to fully connect with the writing here. There was a lot that was hard to process and whilst it was incredibly detailed there were a lot of puzzling scenarios that felt clunky and consuming. We also jump between first and third person perspectives and this was not handled well at all. I felt that these inconsistencies should have been picked up on fairly early in the writing process and did not help the story that the author was trying to tell.
The story was great however the writing itself did not do this justice.
