The Book
Tarnished Tales of Broken Dragons and 300 Other Stories by Nipaporn Baldwin

Sinopsis:
The space dragons are coming home. No vampires rule this land, no wolves take claim to the Dragon's throne. In this collection of interlinked stories, these dragons are unbound by standard cliches. These dragons live among us, taking our forms, drinking our food, breeding with our bloodlines...nobody knew their families dwelled in the stars, awaiting for a time to reclaim what is rightfully theirs. When cruelty and greed pulled the last straw, they attacked with technology superior to our own. Welcome to The Society, and we're running for our lives.

Warning: may cause sleepless nights, slight trauma, online debates about the plausibility of space dragons, might anger some people, might gross out the weak, might make pedophiles scream, might make racists tear their hair out, might make poetry enthusiasts die of excitement, might cause multiple spasms and is definitely not intended for the weak of heart, unless you eat tomatoes.

(this is TSODR: Dragons and Cicadas re-released under a new title)

Reviews due: As is a really big book you'll have 5 weeks to finish it Sept 12

Suri Durandal (suridurandal) | 17 comments The author's never had a beta reader for the book because she couldn't find one. These reviews are crucial, and after reading 'em she told me she is re-arranging the book, adding a narrative voice to connect some of the stories, and is removing the "Timeline Activity" and unconnecting a lot of the stories. The only plot in the book was to tell various stories before, during and after The Annihilation. She is very happy to have the reviews and is reworking the book so it is less confusing. Here is the amazon product page: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008O1ZEYE/

Again, she is very thankful and happy to know what is good and what is bad about the book. She has this one question: were any of the stories too "over-the-top?" She wanted to know if she successfully instilled a gross factor into the book. She also wants to know did anyone catch any of the many references floating around in the book? What is everyone's thoughts on the dragon birth story, and what story did you like the best and least?

Hi, Annie, your review is on the wrong edition. This is the correct one: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...

you can repost your review on the correct edition. sorry about the inconvenience! I separated the book from Dragons & Cicadas so it'll be easier to find.
