The Dinosaur Lords by Victor Milán
2.0
I thought this was going to be a lot better, but it was okay. I'm not sure if I will continue with the series, but maybe I can be convinced...?
I was just kind of... bored. It's surprising, because this book had tons of things in it that I tend to love (high fantasy, medieval feel, battle scenes, court intrigue, politics, conspiracies and plotting...). For one, the characters felt pretty undeveloped for the most part. I read this entire book and didn't feel like I knew the characters well or cared about them? The worldbuilding was pretty cool, but of course I wanted more (true to form).
I thought it was really cool that dinosaurs were part of normal life in this book, like horses, and I want to know more about them! Each chapter also included little snippets about dinosaur species and other worldbuilding things, which was awesome. That's pretty much what pushed this to a 3 star rating for me. If I rated this purely on enjoyment level, I'd give it 2 stars because I was bored and struggled to care about it.
