![]() ![]() It was a bit tough keeping track of who’s who at first, but afterwards I was impressed with the rich world. The main character is already a known hero due to his past victories, there are pre existing relationships between almost all the characters, a former rebellion gets mentioned often. ![]() It reminds me of a sort of condensed Game of Thrones, and in some ways of Tigana. One of my favorite things about Dragon Bones (yeah cause I thought I was reading Dragon Bones at this point) is how well established the characters and the world are. But soon enough I was grabbed by the story. I was pretty put off by the beginning, there’s a lot of torture to start and the narration is pretty flat. ![]() ![]() The old school covers did nothing to increase my enthusiasm.īut now at the end of book one you can call me smitten. It’s just one of the squares I’ve been struggling with and said fine I’ll just read whatever and be done with it. I picked the Hurog duology up for bingo final book in a series published more than 10 years ago without having a lot of faith in it. I’d written up this next part before the truth dawned on me, there’s some irony in there: So, to paraphrase a well known reviewer, this isn’t a review of what it’s like to read Dragon Blood as it was intended, this is a review of what it’s like to read it like a huge derp. In which I derped and read book 2 of a duology thinking it was book one and did not notice until I wanted to get started on book 2. ![]()
