I could say that it’s well written, that it has an engaging story line and a niche premise that is unique within the whole of fantasy writing. but what is better is that I genuinely enjoyed the story, and that my friends is rare. HELL YEA! SPACE DRAGONS!
Review from Tiger in the Sea →
The writing is decent, not as good as say Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea, and the author puts a lot of time into the back stories and postscript. Reader had a one size fits none accent impersonating that was almost comical if it weren’t for the subject. Overall, excellent story about a..

Review from Didn’t Expect You →
First of all I want to say that I enjoyed the cast of narrators. I love the fact that the author chose to use the same actor for each individual character in all her books in the series. It just makes them stand out. Although I love Nix, I didn’t care for her as much..
