Official Review: A Book Without Dragons by Olivia Berrier

[Gingerbo0ks]

This book caught my attention earlier and I almost chose to review but was worried that the change in tenses would be off-putting. I'm glad you didn't find that to be the case and you were able to enjoy it. Thanks for the well done review!

I also felt the same. I'm glad it's not too confusing and all over the place. If it's not too choppy and backwards and forwards, I may enjoy this book. Thanks for the review!

I had the same doubts before I read it. But the tense change was incorporated so well that it barely caught my attention. If anything, I felt like it added to the story. Thanks for stopping by!

Ashley Simon's review of "A Book Without Dragons" is very excellent, to a fault. It sounded so comprehensive, I decided, I need not read the book anymore, the gist is right here, and well. But on second thought, I might still opt to get all these raw, from "the horse's mouth" so to speak. The review could still claim the virtue of being enticing.

The title: A Book Without Dragons might be a misnomer, in my opinion, though. But that is only my opinion. The lack of dragons would readily signify that the time-frame of the story could be in those era where dragons are no longer in vogue, no more dragon-slayers or dragon masters. Or may also be confused as occurring at present time. But nary a bit, one may suspect the near or far away future as the probable timetable of events.

And yet, dragons or no dragons, this is an interesting read.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed my review! Hope to hear your thoughts on the book.

Great review! I'm a fan of the genre and I absolutely love the theme of time travel.

[The Irmuun]

That's the reason why i like sci fi and fantastic books. this makes me read more books.

[Ashley Simon]

Ritah - I enjoy books about time travel, too. Just recently picked up The Time Traveler's Wife. This book doesn't get into time travel but it has some interesting commentary on time!
The Irmuun - Thanks for stopping by!

I was hooked the moment I read the first paragraph. The story sounds quite interesting. I don't think dragons would have made it any better.

Yes, I couldn't agree with you more, especially on the misnomer side. I think the title is more likely to mislead others, but the review is of great help.

Very interesting review. I love how the guy who invented uniting thinks of himself as ordinary. Asking the book to my reading list.

[Quinto]

Interesting read. I can't imagine a life with no technology. It's even worse if the technology has advanced to the extent depicted in the novel.

Knowing myself, I'd be there with a marker correcting all the different tenses between chapters

Great review, Ashley Simon.

[cherrykarl]

Love, love, love the cover!? The last time I read a book about dragons was Eragon. And it's been long.?

[GCamer]

The plot sounds very intriguing. I'm also interested in the change of tenses in writing. Your review makes me want to read this book even more. Thanks for the great review.

[kenkomercy]

The title reflects nothing of the story. It is an interesting sci-fi story. Thanks for your great review

[Heidi M Simone]

An almost apocalyptic world where Willow, who loves fantasy, is the only one who can fix Unitime that's destroying it sounds exciting! It's great when a book can keep you at the edge of your seat. Not sure if the different tenses is for me, but I'm glad that you were able to enjoy this read. Thank you for the lovely review!

Nice review. I love the plot, although 2054 is a long time ahead.
