Return of the Dragon Born – A trilogy of which this is the first set of three books. While I had previously read Fueled by Dragon’s Fire #2 and liked it per my May, 2017 review with an average rating of 3 stars, I can not recommend this series. I realize these books are for the school-aged audience, but the behaviors of these characters aren’t what I would want my grandkids to replicate or consider acceptable. The books are quickly read, but don’t offer much in character development or complex story lines. This trilogy could have been tons better in those departments because the idea behind these books was good, but the execution was lacking, along with not being well thought out or realistic in many areas. Why editing wasn’t bothered with is disconcerning since an editor would have tightened and corrected the story line making a good idea into a good series with likable and realistic characters and dialog. I volunteered to read the second and third books. Average, 3*
Marked by Dragon’s Blood #1 – I was confused by a 19-year-old who was 11 days late to the Academy and still couldn’t get to class on the 12 day, the last day before expulsion. It’s her last chance to get into the academy and without it she can’t practice magic. I wanted to stop reading at this point since I find this behavior unacceptable. And then, I find she’s immature in actions and thoughts; she makes demands of an instructor and she’s still not in class, to which she was on her way. The instructor popped an entrance exam on her, she pitches a hissy fit and states that he didn’t think for himself when doing the Academy’s exam; yeah, like that’s realistic.
I’m getting too much political correctness and immature behavior to make me read beyond this point (chapter five). She’s a hated dragonborn, but she behaves this way in a dangerous city? I had problems with the first seven chapters, but I kept on reading, to my regret. There’s a cliffhanger and too much more on which to comment. Needs major editing. My 3 stars is for the idea but not the writing of this trilogy. There are better stories and even if this set is free, remember your time is valuable. Average, 3*
Fueled by Dragon’s Fire #2 – Original review: May, 2017. Includes a prologue, which I appreciate. I didn’t read Marked by Dragon’s Blood (#1), but I still enjoyed this book without any problems since it moved along at a good pace. But I would recommend reading Marked first. Editing needed. 3*
Update, July 19, 2018: Having read Marked, I can no longer recommend reading it first. I would totally skip reading Marked and start with Fueled. After reading Marked and Called, I wonder how much I actually liked Fueled.
Called by Dragon’s Song #3 – After having read Marked, I ended up skimming Called. I didn’t re-read Fueled, my first read. Still a quick read, without skimming, I found the characters hadn’t grown, the story line is full of conflicts but no substance/depth but it’s still fast paced, just not enough for me. Editing is still a major problem for the author and she really needs an editor to help her make this trilogy tons better. Average, 3*
