Realm of Dragons (Age of the Sorcerers, #1)

by Morgan Rice

These are men with half the soldiers in the kingdom between them, men who could bring our entire family down if I do not do as they demand.”

My dude, it sounds like your whole peace strat u got going on isn't working if at a moment's notice everyone is ready to go to war over petty shit, let alone your daughter having a zombie disease.

“She’ll be a prisoner in all but name,” Greave insisted.

Eh, she'll probably be dead before she REALLY starts feeling like a prisoner there

“If you want things to turn out so differently, maybe you should look in those books of yours for a cure to the scale sickness.” Greave stood there for a moment or two longer. “Maybe I will,” he said. “Maybe I will.”

Wait, in all the years Nerra's been alive. Not one person including the dude treating her has looked extensively at any of the books in the castle library????

Now that Lenore knew about her condition, it made sense: she’d been kept there out of the way. Which meant that her father had known.

Wiat, im confused wasnt this already established? Ah whatever

Lenore turned and found herself staring at Finnal, who looked as impossibly handsome as always.

Gurl it always the good looking ones that are gay.

“They will find Nerra,” Lenore said to herself,

I unconsciously just stopped myself from skimming this whole chapter. God, i just want this book to end!

Odd walked around the monastery

Finally, back to War Monk!

“That is just it,” the abbot said, with a sad smile. “You are seeking an excuse now, as you have sought excuses since you arrived.

So he should have just let you and everyone else die on the beach?????

From this moment, you are no longer a brother of this monastery. You will leave, and not return.” “Just like that?” Odd said.

Oh well, i guess this guy is happy with letting everyone die for the sake of the "monk" way then. That's a not-our-problem kinda problem Odd. Let's gtfoutta here. Though i am disappointed you won't be an official War Monk class now. Oh well 🤷🏾‍♀️

Atop lay a sword. It was long and slender, with a grip designed for two-handed use and an elegantly scrolled hilt of dark metal. Its blade was covered by a sheath of black leather, but Odd’s memory supplied the brightness of the steel and the etchings upon it.

Oh hell yeaaah

“Another round on me!” Renard

I want more War Monk not you

A humble man would have backed away, pretending that it was nothing. But then, Renard had never pretended to be a humble man. He stepped back and gave the elegant performer’s bow he’d perfected for the rare moments when he got applause. “Renard, at your service.”

Fool

Renard sighed. There was just no helping some people.

You're also the idiot that took pride in stamping your name all over those coins, but whatever

“You announced your theft to the entire inn,” the peasant pointed out.

🙄

Now though, he couldn’t see how he was going to get away with this. He was going to die.

That would make this book 10% more interesting

Erin rode toward the village, not stopping, not able to stop.

I still keep forgetting you exist

If she’d still had her spear, she might have been able to strike back, but like this… she was going to die.

Everyone seems to be at deaths door today

Erin understood. If these were scouts, it meant that the rest of an army wouldn’t be far behind. There was an invasion coming from the south, and she’d just experienced the first touch of it.

🙄

Nerra went to the woods, because she didn’t know where else to go.

Isn't you going back and forth to the woods the reason you're in this mess in the first place?

If she’d stayed, her siblings would have kept trying to push the issue, and would only have found themselves in trouble for it.

They're still pushing the issue, so you literally achieved nothing

Master Grey… well, who knew what the sorcerer really thought about anything?

He's only been in 5% of this book but everyone talks about him like he's the bee's knees. Oh and how is voice sounds like wet paper

“There has to be some reason why people are cast out,” Nerra said, as she continued her way through the forest. People wouldn’t do it for no reason, would they? Or would they?

🙄🤷🏾‍♀️

Greave’s mind flashed back to how she’d looked before, in the moments when they’d been making love.

Your sister is being banished and will die soon, another is getting married, your dad hates your face, and your busy fucking this random girl you met yesterday???????

Greave roared with frustration. Someone a long time ago had torn pages from the book.

If it was so easy for someone like Greave to find the book, why not just burn the whole book instead of tearing out a page and looking the most suspicious?

He would risk his life if he had to. He was riding to Astare.

Riveting.

Vars had planned to get Rodry to take over the duty of leading his half-sister’s guards.

Yay another Vars POV

“A little to the left, Hershel,” Rodry

I could care less about a POV about you

She would be fine out on her journey. After all, she had Vars’s men to guard her.

Interesting how much faith you suddenly have in your brother

Suddenly, a rope wrapped around her neck, forcing her to look up at the man who scowled down at her with pure hatred. “Good,” the man said. “Let’s begin.”

Yawn

Aurelle nodded carefully. “Yes, my lord. You employ me.” “I do,” the duke said.

Wow, shocking. Geez i just didn't see that coming. 🙄🥱

“And since you are paid for…” He drew her to him and kissed her, then pushed her back in the direction of the bed. Aurelle didn’t tense at it. She could play this part as well as any other. At least, until it became more advantageous to play a better one.

🥱🥱🥱🥱

Devin heard a dragon roaring, the sound of it filling the world around him.

The simply fact that i literally had to think to myself: "wait whose Devin again? 🤔" Shows you how bad the pacing of this book is. And he's supposed to be the main character!

“The boy is special, born on the dragon moon, in that place. None can be allowed to know…” Devin woke.

Of.. course...

“I told them. I told them when they brought you to me that you were too dangerous, that you’d find out…”

Ok I'm skimming the rest of this. I'm done

The dragon was large enough that Devin half suspected it wouldn’t be able to free itself from the cave,

How has that dragon not died from oxygen depletion? If it even needs oxygen, that is.
