Very cool world that has been created with lots of interesting storyline aspects that I haven't seen from another writer.
It took me a good portion of the first book to actually get into what was happening as it was a bit dull on top of it being a different style of writing and difficult to follow. Once the story picked up however, there were lots of twists and turns that kept me engaged throughout the next two books!

Full of action, adventure and fantasy
This book starts out slow in order to build the world and characters. At least that’s my opinion. It’s a very peaceful read in that it’s not hard to put down in order to sleep, yet it keeps you wondering what will happen next so you pick it back up.
There is lots of mystery.
The plot is well laid out and moves at an even pace.
The characters are interesting and believable.
It has romance but No sex scenes, but this is so very worth the journey in case you love the smutty stuff. I would recommend it anyway.
It’s a very fantastical world full of crazy creatures and crafty beings causing havoc.
There are truly awful bad guys and absolutely great dialogue. Some really chuckle worthy conversations actually.
It has multiple main characters all telling the story from their own perspective.

Story line and world building is excellent and the writing matures very well by the end of the third book but I felt the first two books could do with more editing to tighten them up. I found the darkcloak / daycloak really confusing and jarring. The explanation in Llandry (book 4) could do with being in book 1. Apart from that I persevered with the trilogy and thoroughly enjoyed it by the end.

The Draykon series
So many twists and turns and wars and tons of magic with major storytelling. Powerful women and lots of intelligent animals who are bonded in adoration.

Lyrical prose and an enthralling story in an intriguing world.

I tried at least 6 times to read these books. Too convoluted. Too vague. I stopped caring. DNF.

I liked the story and it was definitely a unique world with a very different take on dragons but I found it very slow and some of the concepts a little confusing.

Way to go.
Such an excellent series with the capability to hold ones attention throughout. A pity that the story had to end.

The first book introduced us to a new variation of worlds and magic, which was refreshing. However, it was slow and not really all that deep or intriguing. The 2nd book started out as a typical star-crossed romance and the story wasn't entertaining enough to keep me reading.

You are not only exquisite physically but within the realms of imagination.
The layers of convoluted creativity are akin to Damascus steel.the sword of your mind carves breathtaking beauty beyond all that other's have ever imagined. I suppose this means that I want to have your baby. Still, there are issues that should be addressed. While your imagination is without equal, your approach could arguably be improved. When you describe the different worlds give at least another couple of sentences towards a description of the differences. Flesh out the scenes that are extant.The reader is capable of much,as such, an allusion or nuance is often enough. Conversely, if the reader was not willing to be lead she would be the writer.

Exquisito!
Uno de esos pocos libros bien escritos, que te captura intelectualmente, pues no puedes devorarlos como un Best Seller cualquiera. El texto te obliga a leerlo con calma, a saborear las oraciones complejas y bien formadas.
La trama, si bien no escapa de lo que podríamos esperar de una novela de fantasía, se desenvuelve y desentrama con calma, sin dejar de aburrir.

This was free and mostly I find free books pretty crappy. This is no exception. It might pass for middle school entertainment
