A review by rayonx
A Destiny of Dragons by TJ Klune

3.0

This book in one sentence: Sam and his motley crew embark on a new adventure as Sam follows his destiny and gathers all the dragons to fight evil.
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐
Steaminess: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Would I recommend: I fell in love with the universe and the characters in the first book of this series, but for some reason, I struggled getting into this one. Maybe because I expected to see the characters evolve more, but the first part of the book is pretty slow and so much of the dynamic between characters seemed really repetitive of book 1. I did love the new ancient-teenager dragon character. I think the thing I struggled most with was the overuse of the term "gypsy", I just don't understand why the author would choose to use a word that is widely considered a racial slur, to describe a made-up culture of people in a fictional universe. He could have used any number of words or even made one up instead. And the word is used 60 times in the book, so it was a constant aggravation.
Tropes: chosen one, soulmates, love-triangle, evil villain bent on revenge
Content warnings: racial slurs
