"Requiem's Song (Dawn of Dragons #1)" By Daniel Arenson

So I have finished Requiem's Song and I absolutely loved this book. I won a free ebook of this book and I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pulled into it right away and I had a difficult time putting this book down. But after some looking into the series, it seems that there are three other trilogies before this one, but I had no troubles reading this book by itself, and I hope to get all of the books in this series because I loved this book.

I will warn you, this book is kind of graphic. There is a lot of abuse and the time period is slightly unclear, but it appears to be almost like a barbaric time period. Perhaps the time period is more clear in the earlier books but you get a good sense of it being a long time ago by the living conditions. But there is a lot of abuse and some readers may not like that, and if you don't, I would NOT recommend this book to you. But if it doesn't bother you too much I would then recommend this book if you like books about dragons. I will admit I haven't really read many books with dragons in them, but I loved this one and I hope to get the rest of the books sometime soon.

So I'll try and give a small summary. Oh, and the story is told is several POVs (point of views). I actually really liked this for this book, but some people may not like this many POVs in one novel. But the author labeled each chapter with who's POV it is in, making it easier. But that is something else a reader may want to know before making a decision.

Ok, back to the summary. It takes place in a world where people can shift into dragons. But not everyone can do this. And many of the people are convinced that this is a disease and the dragons should be killed to "cleanse" the world of their disease. But a royal family is nothing but dragons, making things a little difficult. And another man and his family is trying to create a sanctuary for dragons to live in peace and not in fear of being caught as a dragon. And then there is lots of fighting, and demons and nasty, ugly creatures from the underworld show up to help the king fight these dragons. I could have lived without some of these creatures, but I will give the author credit for his creativeness with these creatures, no matter how disgusting they are.

Like I said earlier, I really enjoyed this book. It was hard for me to stop reading it, which is why I got through it pretty quick. It's an easy read, with lots of detail, and the characters were well written as well. I would recommend this book to people who relaly enjoy books about dragons and don't mind abuse, because there is quite a bit of it. I am going to be rating this book a 5/5 on goodreads.com

-----------------------

Since I do not have the next book of this series, I am going to be starting a new novel that I recently got. I am going to be reading In the Woods by Tana Fench. I've been wanting to read this for a while and finally bought it. I can't wait. Happy reading everyone! :)
