Review of "Dragon's Blood" on 'Goodreads'

Fantastic. Well written, lore-deep, and wholly entertaining. A unique prose style that feels engaging no matter what is going on.

My only complaints? The age of the character changes from the beginning of to the end... and goes backwards. Jakkin is said to be 16 at the beginning, and 15 at the end. Regardless, I thoroughly enjoyed Dragon's Blood, and have purchased the rest of the Pit Dragon Chronicles (as of Oct.4.20).

If you like dragons, and you like sci-fi, do read this book!
