This book and the last one are on the list for some of my favorites from the LITRPG genre. This book is right up my alley. First of all, it feels like it’s written by an adult, for an adult. The MC is actually a mature adult man (relatively speaking of course, he’s a huge goofball too). He wrestles with moral decisions, he builds ACTUAL believable relationships with others; with actual real chemistry. The plot is deep, the world; awesome and well built, the progression; compelling!!!

The MC’s relationship with his dragon feels deep and grows deeper; the exploration of the maturing mind of the dragon is super cool. My god this book just checks all the goddamn boxes!!! Aerial combat on dragons!!!!! Please give me more….
