Review: Slayter and the Dragon

Slayter and the Dragon: Legacy of Shadows by Todd Fahnestock
My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars

I love the world and characters that Fahnestock has created in this series. The books definitely need to be read in order for them to make sense, but that's no hardship since they're all good. :)

Slayter is probably my favorite character from this series, so it was fun for him to get his own book. Although, to be fair, the characters mostly share all the books. Slayter is a neurodivergent character who looks at situations quite differently than everyone else. He relies on logic and practicality rather than emotions, and he often misses social cues. He's definitely the character I feel the most kinship towards.

My only complaint about this book is that there were more typos than average. I appreciate that the author is producing these books quickly, but I wish a little more care had been taken with the editing.

If you love fast-paced, epic fantasy with high stakes, a unique world, and characters you want to root for, read this series! I'm excited to read the next, and I believe final, book: Bane of Giants!
