The Dragon Experiment by Louisa Masters
4.0
Super happy to have a book in this series that I quite like. On the surface, Fabian and Rhys are complete opposites. Rhys is awkward and reserved, whereas Fabian is as free-spirited as can be, a trait most dragons share. But on a deeper level, they’re very similar. They both revere information and knowledge, and they understand what it feels like to get completely lost in one’s research. They also encourage each other to be better.
I loved the dynamic between the two. I liked how both their different and similarities complement each other so well. I also liked the pace of the romance for the most part.
The secondary plot—Rhys’s study and its importance to the Community—was a mixed bag. I liked that it existed because I firmly maintain that Masters’ books are better when they have a plotline outside the romance. But I didn’t love the plotline itself. First, I felt like it was made up just for this book because the Community slowly losing their magic has never been mentioned before (and this is the seventh book in this world). But I also think Rhys’s study, while helpful in seeing the extent of the loss, isn’t as crucial as the synopsis made it out to be, since it does nothing to solve the problem. Also, Rhys didn’t have a proper control group and that bothered the hell out of me.
Overall though, I enjoyed this book. I liked both Rhys and Fabian (I was kinda surprised to like the latter), and I thought there was a good balance between the romantic and non-romantic storylines.
