it was written okay and I adore Joel Leslie, so I made it through to the end – but the author had a bad habit of switching scenes mid chapter and cutting away to a new scene right as the interesting things were about to happen. The love interests go drinking together – it happened but isn’t in the book. They both like DND and gaming – but they never actually do either in the book apart or even separate – it’s just referenced. The clan gets a letter from another dragon clan – it’s apparently just to set up a phone call? Because people send letters to ask someone to call them all the time…
Also – Joel’s “Korean” accent for the grandmother was so painful I nearly put the book down a dozen times. It was the worst faked accent I have ever listened to ever – to the point I’m leary of continuing the series because it was that painful.
