Book Review : The Dragon Has Some Complaints

When I read the blurb for The Dragon Has Some Complaints, I immediately pictured the classic three-headed dragon meme, where each head has a wildly different personality. Whether or not that is where the inspiration for this novel comes from, this three-headed dragon—named Garrodigh—does have very distinct personalities.

Reread Review : First Rider’s Call

Next up in my reread of the Green Rider series, is the sequel to Green Rider, First Rider’s Call. I found First Rider’s Call to be a bit of a mixed bag, as far as sequels go. On the one hand, I thought the writing was a little bit better, with less telling, but on the other hand, I thought there were some odd narrative choices that stunted Karigan’s development. […]
