Critiques
This book was fun. Its got people-who-strongly-dislike-each-other-to-lovers, its got dragons, its got time travel, its got a strange mashup of science and fantasy. The only thing that really irritated me was the names, and the book did begin with a lot of jargon, but it was smooth sailing after the first chapter.
This was disappointing. First off, it's not fantasy at all, it's definitely science fiction. "Dragons" is extremely misleading in this sense (not that I like dragons, but just to clarify).
Ultimately, this is a story about time travel, a force organized to protect the world from a recurring threat that, in the intervals, people forget about. Unfortunately the characters are all completely flat or one-dimensional, the author is extremely cavalier about time travel and it's effects, and the story becomes predictable as soon as you are given enough information to make any guesses about what will happen next. It was a chore to read this, even though it was so short.
I will not be continuing this series, and don't regret it. 2 stars only because the book had promise, but I thought about 1 star as well.… (plus d'informations)

The first couple of chapters threw a bunch of terms that I was not familiar with. Then it started becoming quite interesting and I was hooked. Also about halfway thru, I realized there was a glossary and info in the back of the book that would have helped in those first couple of chapters in the beginning.

One of the earlier fantasy books, the world is less detailed that later writings by the same author. Probably intended for a young teen audience. Still it is a nice light read.
