Wandmaker by Amber Kell

1.5

disappointingly bland, rushed, and poorly written. this book is essentially smut for idiots. the world isn't at all fleshed out and the author abandons the more interesting plot of a travelling wandmaker for "prince's pet dragonkin". a waste of the 38 minutes it took me to read this flaming heap of garbage--- worthless even by porn standards.
