Official Review: The Legend of the Dragon Child

[Sarah_Khan]

I like that you mentioned that you found it hard to read through all the battles, I've always found that to be one of the main reasons I stay away from epic novels because they have too much action. But the fact that you couldn't tell which characters are good and which are bad has me intrigued. Great job on your review!

Not my cup of tea, but lovers of dragon stories will enjoy this one. It's a plus that it's well edited.

Hey thanks for the review i have always liked stories about protagonists being raised by others than their species and gaining special abilities and unique perspectives on life. I think i might enjoy reading this for fun especially if the lore is as thought out as you mentioned.

I am curious if this books gives enough setup in the first book to be a part of a more epic series or is the story encapsulated solely within one book?

There's definitely enough setup to be part of a larger series!

I also found the book difficult to continue in the beginning due to the dragon wars. It seemed curious to me why the "crown" had to be returned to the chosen king so urgently when the queen and her allies all came to Urthe again in the very next sequence culminating in the bonding ceremony. I have only read the portion free to view on Amazon, I found a spelling error, quite vs quiet in that portion and wonder if that is the error the author of this review was talking about. In all I would like to read the book through though based on what I have read I would not give 4 of 4 stars. I don't find the character development that I have found in other books in this type of genre so far.

I enjoyed your review, but I think that the book needs some polishing. Or maybe I am just spoiled by having read too many Anne McCaffrey dragon books.

The Legend of The Dragon Child is a hit with me. I got caught up in the story and, therefore: suspended my willingness to disbelieve. The pace of the story was just right. The author didn't get bogged down in unnecessary details, which moved the story along at a brisk pace. Moving the story at a brisk pace keeps me motivated to read the book to the end. Who doesn't want to know how the story ends?
I like the author's writing style which brings the story to life. When I read a book such as The Legend of The Dragon Child, I like to envision the action. I want to see the plot unfold as if I'm watching a movie. The author nailed it for me.

I’m considering giving this book a try although I’m concerned the dragon battles may hold me back a little bit. I feel like I would struggle to get through those parts. You mentioned liking history and I’m curious to know if this book has any ties to medieval times. Obviously there’s no truth to the dragons but I enjoy books that touch on facts of the time period. I guess a better way to phrase it would be what time period does this take place in or is it completely fictional and does it accurately represent the people, culture and lifestyle of that time?

It sounds like this book has a lot of dragon battles and that would not be something that would interest me but happy reading to those who do!

This looks like a proper fantasy book. Great review, you made me want to read it, if only I had more time.

This review really makes me want to read this book! I’m a sucker for dragon stories anyway, but the relationship between the hatchling and the human child sounds unique and compelling. And the Jungle Book comparison only adds to the intrigue.. I like the idea of parallels between the story and legends, and the historical elements described in the review, I will definitely give this a read!

[JessNWheeler]

I’m a fantasy genre lover, but the dragon battles do sound a bit off-putting. Thanks for your honest opinion and the great review!

[raeryn]

Seems like the book with a quick start, though the parts in the middle that are a little long (dragon battles) makes me hesitate. Overall, looks like a really interesting read!

[ktom]

This sounds very intriguing! But I don’t know if this is really up my alley. I’m not that big of a fan of fight scenes, dragon or otherwise, but I do like the way you said the deeper you got into the book, the more you realized how great it was, so I might give it a try. Thanks for the detailed review!

I like that there is no clear distinction between good and evil. I also like that there are connections to other myths and legends. The cover art is beautiful and draws me into the story. My favorite part is that the human hero is a girl not a boy like many other fantasy stories.

I love epic fantasies! After reading your review, I want to start reading it too! It would be interesting to see how the relationship of Zlemtec and Kaida affect the Mursei and humans.
