About this ebook

The Dragon War, an epic fantasy trilogy, tells of civil war in Requiem -- an ancient kingdom whose people can grow wings, breathe fire, and take flight as dragons. When a cruel general captures Requiem's throne, a desperate band of rebels struggles to reclaim the kingdom. This collection includes all three Dragon War novels.

BOOK 1: A LEGACY OF LIGHT -- The traitor Cadigus has captured the throne of Requiem, an ancient kingdom whose people can become dragons. In the wilderness, rebellion brews. The Resistance is small, but its cry is loud: "The tyrant must fall."

BOOK 2: A BIRTHRIGHT OF BLOOD -- War rages. Fire rains. Requiem, the land of dragons, is tearing apart. When the hosts of Cadigus fly against them, can the resistors save their homeland?

BOOK 3: A MEMORY OF FIRE -- Darkness covers Requiem. General Cadigus, usurper of the throne, rules with an iron fist. Bloodied after a long war, the Resistance musters. Rising as dragons, lighting the sky with fire, the resistors fly to their last stand.

I've read through most of the series but sadly couldn't even get more than a few chapters into this trilogy. I loved the first six books, was somewhat interested in the third trilogy, but these ones lost me. this one seems to disregard the rules set by the past books. One major rule being that Vir Requis grow weak and insane the longer they remain human and don't shift. In this book apparently they can now never shift with no consequences removing one of the weaknesses of a major species. Also what drew me to this series was the dragons and within the first few chapters it became clear the Vir Requis were evil now and that the "good" Vir Requis were now playing it human. It just doesn't feel original anymore and I regret not reading the reviews before buying.

I didn't realise it was possible for someone to make a race a of dragons boring. The characters have absolutely no qualities worth mentioning. They are forgettable. The tine spent by the author describing the surroundings makes me believe he should be designing sets for plays or movies than the weak attempt at writing dialogue. UPDATE: I cannot finish this book, it's too awful, and unfortunately refunds on e-books are not allowed. If you love dragons then please do not waste your time with this.

Not very good. Frustratingly, many of the ideas are very interesting and the world building solid. The characters are flat, however, with a YA level of complexity. The action starts immediately but it's forever before our protagonists, Tilla being a partial exception, have their characters tested in a way that shows their uniqueness. And God, there's just a ton of pandering --romance subplots (painfully shallow and redundant), gratuitous violence, and lots of rapey lust (any brand of gratuitous imagery or cruel behavior should be balanced and earned by it being essential to the story, in my opinion). The author shows a talent for some things -- descriptions of fiery dogfights and varying female characters (rewarding and interesting without any particular agendas). The level of redundancy and lack of attention to developing complex stakes and rich characterization leaves the first book's greatest accomplishment being the number of cool things that happen (cartoonishly in most cases). I'm as addicted to novel fantasy series as the next guy but just can't recommend this one.
