Dragon Blood

At the time of purchasing the omnibus edition of the first three books of the Dragon Blood series, I had just read all the books that completed a number of series I had been reading over the past several years, plus I had read all the individual books I had been interested in reading too, so I was at a point where I was wondering what to read next.

I don’t know if it’s how most readers feel, but I am always a bit wary of buying books by authors I have never read before, or who have not been recommended to me, but this was the position I found myself in now.

It was while I was browsing through the kindle site, having done a search for Dragon’s, a favorite subject of mine, that I came across the omnibus edition of the Dragon Blood series by an author I was unaware of at this point. The Kindle edition of the book was on offer for free, which at the time I thought was too good to be true, unless the book was so bad that was the only way they could get people to purchase it. I read the synopsis, which I found very intriguing, I looked at the star rating, which was about four point five from around five hundred ratings, if I remember correctly, and I also read several of the reviews, the overwhelming majority of which were very positive, so I finally decided to give it a go and clicked the purchase button.

Well, that click opened up a whole new world for me, the books were a delight with a writing style that I found very reminiscent of David Eddings when he was at his prime. By the end of the book I was hooked, both on the series and the author, Lindsay Buroker, whose books I now buy on a regular basis and to date have not read a bad one.
