Table of contents
All of them. Some of them are plain stupid and others are boring. The only character I liked was the Demon Queen Angel. The other characters have one trait. Laira is the tramutized and abused lost heir. She watched her mother burn at the stake because Laira got them caught shifting by flying up in the sky, the one thing her mother told her not to do. She is tortured by her chieftain for a decade until one day she finally decides to flee.
She could have escaped her abusive home anytime and find other dragons but she decided to stay because she grew up in the place. Everyone hates you! Plan and simple. Jeid is a grizzly bear-man. I skipped his chapters. Raem is the king of Eteer, the city of bronze.
A Bleak and Brilliant 'Requiem' - Los Angeles Times
He hates weredragons. He banished his wife and Laira, his eldest, because he saw them shifting. He locks away Sena just for shifting. He reguarly beats Issari just for speaking out against him.
Our Standards Set Us Apart
He kills his dad just for speaking out against him. He summons demons to terriorize his citizens just to weed out the weredragons. After his son escapes with other dragons and his daughter tries to kill him, he randomly snaps and lets the demons murder everyone in the city. He sucks. Spoilers I guess. It means nothing. He hates dragons just because and abuses Laira just because. Hes a bloodthirsty, horny fucker and all he does is treat everyone like garbage. During the last battle, he damn near kills Jeid- whose kids just saved his life- demanding them to take him back to his abusive father.
He thinks his batshit insane dad would take him back if he kills a weredragon. Motherfucker, he hates you! Sena snaps out of it when Laira hugs him. I went from feeling bad for him to hating him in a few seconds. Issari is the princess and she was fine until the end. I think Arenson had no clue what to do with this character and when he hit a hole he haphazardly filled it with some character destroying bullshit.
Requiem's Song
She fights off demons by carrying a talisman and banishing them. She laments not being a dragon and I actually liked this about her. It was nice having a non-dragon who was not a complete piece of shit. She cares about her people, dragon or not. She saw the demons her father brought into the world and fought them off to protect her people. She is brave, kind and a good ruler! This destroyed her character.
All dragons good, non-dragons bad. Issari alone could have bridged the gap between these two groups and could have made the anti-prejudice theme stronger, but no. Arenson made both of her parents weredragons so she has to be one too. What a disappointment The only character I liked. Angel fits that description perfectly. Herp derp! Give her a better name. All in alll, this book sucks. Mar 13, Jenna Reed rated it liked it Shelves: fangs-and-claws. I enjoyed this series, the world is great and the concept of weredragons sucked me right in.
I'm a huge fan of the dragonlore of Warcraft and these books are very similar in terms of Demon Wars and Dragons hidden in human form. It's hard to say what I love about it without giving spoilers so I'll just have to say that although I'm about to have a whine about what I don't like about it it gets 3 stars overall. I've given far less stars for worse writing, the only thing that saves this one is the I enjoyed this series, the world is great and the concept of weredragons sucked me right in.
I've given far less stars for worse writing, the only thing that saves this one is the world itself however. Now for my whine. I just have to say the writing style gets a little old at times. There's a lot of repeating, for example, you have to hear about Laira's crooked jaw every time she pops up and how small she is because she was starved blah blah blah, it goes on and on. All the characters get the same treatment like you came into the book halfway through and haven't read about them a hundred times before. Then there's the demons. Each one is apparently unique so you have to hear a description for everything that wanders within eyesight of a dragon.
There's enrichment of environment then there's just filling it with unneeded waffle. It's easier to deal with if you're a slower reader. Unfortunately I like to take huge chunks out of books at a time so when I have to read the same thing repeatedly in the same session I find myself losing the magic and skimming to just get on with it.

It's certainly made it harder for me to read it as long as I would other books and therefore it's taking me longer than I care for to get through it. It's just lucky there's a lot to keep me interested it's just a little too much going on for it to flow smoothly and that pops the magic bubble I like to read in. This series would be amazing to some people I'm sure, it would all depend on how you experience books.
View 1 comment. Jan 15, Chris rated it it was amazing Shelves: violent , fantasy. This book was a HUGE surprise. I honestly had very low expectations based on both the cover art and the synopsis. The cover art because, while it's a cool looking dragon, it really made me think this was going to be kind of a cheesy young adult styled novel. Then, when I first started, the main character that it started with was a young girl 10 I think.
But that whole idea quickly changed around when view spoiler [the main character's mother was being burned at the stake in a pretty graphic This book was a HUGE surprise.

Then time progressed by 10 years, so this initial main character is actually 20 or so. But this book is brutal. There are some pretty awful things going on, though it's really about rising above adversity. The prose is quite good too.
The author clearly enjoys describing things, especially nasty demons. And boy are they ever uniquely nasty. Probably not the deepest of characters and while the plot was fairly original compared to the myriad of Chosen One fantasy novels at least it wasn't without fault. Sometimes I thought some parts were dumb or some dialogue was poor, but overall, this book is really good.
I struggled to decide whether I would rate it 4 or 5 stars on goodreads, when I'd probably do 4. I will absolutely be reading the next in the series, and maybe all of the series in this universe. I hope they hold up just as well as this one. Jul 28, Jean rated it it was ok.
