The Dragon's Legacy Author: Robin White Title: The Dragon's Legacy Series: None Genre: Fantasy Pairing: M/M Rating: One Petal On the Author's Website: No website Summary: Valgaforis wants to be left in peace. And if he must be bothered, he would prefer goblins to humans. But these humans come searching for something that sounds like it just might help him figure out what happened to the rest of his kind. He can tolerate some bothersome humans for a little while to answer that burning question. Things just seem to keep going wrong for Alessio. While on the hunt for the regalia of his bloodline, which will finally secure him the throne, he stumbles across Erik, who's somehow already discovered the dragon cave Alessio seeks. Erik, a native of the Northland, offers to help, and Alessio gratefully accepts, despite the unexpected complications added to his already difficult journey. Along the way they encounter spirits, hobs, a river bride, and even trolls. In fact, the only thing they don't seem to encounter is the dragon Alessio expected to find when they finally reach their destination... Maggie's Review:
I received this book as an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Valgaforis is lonely until a bunch of humans invade his home. He decides to follow them in order to answer the mystery of what happened to the rest of the dragons, except the journey he begins might not ever end. This doesn't happen a lot, but I just couldn't finish this book. I couldn't even get into it. I can't say whether I might have even liked the plot or the characterizations because I couldn't muster the will to read far enough to get an honest opinion about this story. Every single word in this story falls under the disappointing cliche of "telling instead of showing". There's no emotion, no build up, and nothing to draw my interest. Maggie's Recommendation: Given I couldn't finish this book because of the very poor writing, I can't recommend it.
