CALLED BY DRAGON SONG
Book Review : Called By Dragon's Song (Return Of The Dragon Born Book 3) N.M. Howell
Power, Passion, Persecution, Portals, Potions, Prophecies, Beasts, Betrayals, Brainwashed Battalions, Battlers, Amped Up Armoured Suits, Allies, Beautiful Dead, Crazy Priests from The Church of Sand and Stone & Followers, Dragon's Fire, Miners, Time Curses, The Thabians, and Magically Weaponised Red Sand!
In this book we have the University's doors finally reopening for classes, but not just to those magically inclined, but to the average Jane or Joe too, Its time too recover, rebuild, and prepare offences & defences!
Many of the neighbours of Arvalle City have realised the Chancellor and the University were the real enemy and it was not the DragonBorn, and are now coming to the aid of the DragonBorn and the resistance fighters.
This is the fourth book I have read in the series and while I completely loved books 0.5-2,
I have to say I was extremely surprised by what I read in this novel, or better yet what I did not
read in this novel!
Unfortunately so much still remains unanswered about the DragonBorn's history.
I think I was hoping for so much more, and would have preferred to see a through history of the DragonBorn and more involvement from their beautiful Dragons.
It was a good solid book, and I did enjoy it, but where was the usual excitement, where was the explanation, how, where, why and by whom were they trapped in the portal in the first place?
Unfortunately there were too many unanswered questions & scenarios and history missing from this book, that left me feeling flat and cheated, wanting all this answered.
I'm so sorry Ms Howell, but I did promised to write an honest and unbiased view of any book I received as an Advanced Readers Copy.
Where is the back story of the Beautiful dead? Why does this race hate the DragonBorn so?
Too many unanswered questions, nothing has been told, explained or answered for the finale of a such an incredible series, which is such as shame.
The writing seamed very rushed at times, while others seemed to drag on endlessly.
It gives me no pleasure at all in writing this as Ms Howell is one of my favourite authors.
We learnt nothing knew of this wonderful, extraordinary race of people and their magnificent beasts whom we also heard more of in this battle, but still very little of once again.
The final battle, which involved the Princess and the Queen, should have been the biggest & baddest we'd yet witnessed, but it just seemed unbelievable and completely over the top,
how could a person survive that much punishment even if they do have DragonBorn blood running through their veins!
I rate Called By Dragon's Song 3.5 🐲's out of 5🐲's, a good solid read by a great author.
