He is strong even though he doesn't admit it, but he is also cunning. He has changed but not for worse, but for better he got the support of his people and he is now respected by them, especially by his uncle and his family. it also happens 4 years after the end of the first book. Story was as usually, good and interesting but the book was more dedicated to characters like the previous one. But it was great conclusion to the series and i love both of the books. I loved it, but i noticed that this one was a lot more darker than the previous book. This was awesome and worthy sequel of Dragon Bones. It's quite possible that if you liked the first book, you may enjoy this as well, but I mostly found it to a disappointing sequel. Glancing over other reviews it seems like I may be in the minority.

I didn't really find the dialogue or prose that bad. "Hurog means dragon" was said a few times in that book as well, but it didn't seem nearly so frequent. I wonder if the writing was just as bad in the first book and I didn't notice. Eventually I groaned every time another character said it. If I had to sum this book up with one sentence it would be "Hurog means Dragon." Why you ask? Well because it's said at least once per chapter. If you're entertaining me, I'm not going to notice bad sentence structure/dialogue. I care a lot more about story and character development than I do about how elegant the prose are. I tend to leave that for English teachers/literary types. I'm not one to spend much time commenting on the writing too much. I guess since I wasn't having as much fun with the story this go around and it made the quality of the writing more noticeable.

I was sort of underwhelmed by the final confrontation especially. But then it got slow in middle, and felt sort of rushed at the end.

It pulled me right back in again, and I thought everything was good to go. For such a short book, it felt like the plot meandered too much on unimportant details. It's hard to put my finger on exactly why. For some reason this story wasn't as much fun. Executive Summary: Not nearly as enjoyable as the first book.Īudio book: Joe Manganiello once again does a fine job without really adding or subtracting from the story.Īfter finishing Dragon Bones I was left with some lingering questions and looking forward to this book.
