Queen of Dragons by Shana Abe
1.0
You know those Wattpad books that has werewolves in it and they are dealing with a situation but then a female enters the scene and suddenly the alpha male is crazy because apparently they are mates and the female would be skirting around the subject making him run after her but eventually they end up together? This is this book but with dragons.
I got this book from a “Blind date with a book” shop. On a normal day I wouldn’t even look twice at this book because I am one of those suckers who only mainly look at mainstream books.
Anyway...
The reason for the low rating:
1. This should’ve been a fantasy book but it felt more like a romance. It was as if the fantasy aspect was there just to add flavor and new experiences to the reader. But it did not really work. The romance part had not been that great either. I didn’t really feel chemistry between the leads.
2. The plot barely existed. When I reached the first third of the book I was wondering if I had missed anything important because why aren’t we moving forward? It was only until the second half of the book that we actually see some action done about these huntings.
3. We were off to a great start. I was not expecting a five-star. I was more looking for a good time. Then it went downhill in the first few chapters because it consisted of pleasantries, scenery, chasing Maricara, and slightly amusing conversations between the two lead characters. Nope. I couldn’t do it.
4. The leads were cliche. The plot was cliche. That had already been established. Nothing new to see here. Another thing was the 1800s setting and yet when the leads converse they speak like humans from the 20th century.
I do recall getting a headache while getting through this book. Thank God it didn’t last long (the book). Some parts were just a blur to me and this could’ve been better edited.
