Dragonborn - "Wonderful epic tale"

Guest post by Laura Jean Lysander


An epic, sprawling fantasy adventure saga between the dynamics of humans and dragons, working in tandem to rid the many worlds and dimensions they inhabit of evil; it reminded me of the Clan of The Cave Bear series, yet it is far more reaching within the arcane mysteries, the uses of Magic and Dragon interaction within time and space. The Tale follows two humans who are destined, picked, and sought to aid the dragon race (multiple species of them) which live and interact and understand the humans with divine allowance. This is to thwart the evil of a magic grimoire book created from a dragon's blood and skin.

I did not find the tale to be particularly highly humorous, or chock full of any comedy but still captivated me into what was going to come up next within the story. It did hold my interest and the descriptive writing of the dragons and the magic interested me. I had a hard time sometimes understanding something that had happened or specific plot changes, for it was not always described specifically as to what it meant, the action or the riddle/clue but it was then mentioned later on, and then it was understood either to leave you wondering or hanging or that most likely my brain being the way it is..just was too daft to get it the first time.

 
The tale follows the interactive lives of the humans, Dragons, and their progeny and the adventures and perils they are symbiotically subject to; the Evil book which is stolen by a rogue criminal starts the tale, however, is not spoken of after 1/3 of the start of the saga tale is written, and it gave me wonder as to what became of it during the entire time the other action was being presented, and who the next evil owner would wind up to be; I thought at the end it would be mentioned or brought back into the story by the antagonist mentioned who I will not mention for not to spoil it, but still, it, the Evil book was not mentioned and it gave rise to that it might be mentioned then in a forthcoming book for this was to be a series. 
 
 
If you enjoy magic and adventure regarding epic family interaction and mystery, one that is not high-tech or hugely humorous, serious, and methodical with a sense of suspense, enjoy the tale! I did and went to sleep wondering how it would end until I finished it the next day.
