Continueing "Requiem's Hope"

I'd say I'm a little over 100 paged into the book now and things are coming along nicely. The group of dragons has split up to try and find reinforcements to help fight against the demons. One group seeks a village in the north, another is going to the west to find more dragons, and two others are going back to Ethreel to try and take the thrown away from Raem so that they can order the demons back to the underworld and bring peace to the world once again. One group seems to be having some success in its quest. Where I stopped is where the group going to the west was having some difficulties and may be imprisoned because they are dragons and like almost everyone in this world, they hate dragons and find them an absolute evil and will do anything to get rid of them. I kind of wish there was one city or village that accepted dragons and wasn't concerned with killing them.

But it seems everyone in the world hates dragons. It just gets really depressing after a while. But maybe they will find one eventually, other than Requiem where they are trying to build a city for dragons to live in peace. I don't know, there is just so much hate towards the people who can turn into dragons, and I get it, it's conflict that is needed to keep the story going and to give the dragons a purpose to their new beginning that they are trying to make. But it would be nice if there was one place that at least tolerated dragons and didn't kill them, even if they didn't like them. If that makes sense.

So far the book has been gearing up for the big battle against Raem and the demons so that the dragons can at least be free from that threat. I'm sure the battle will be coming up soon, or at least somewhat soon. It'll be interesting to see how the battle goes. These demons the author created are really gross and disgusting and hard to kill. So it'll be a tough battle. The writing style is the same as the first book so far, but the abuse is much less now that the main character is freed from the tribe she was a slave in. There is still some brutal scenes, but not nearly as many as the first book, which is a bit of a relief. There is only so much dark a reader can take, I think. I think in this book the author is trying to throw in a bit of comic relief and it is helping a little and it doesn't feel forced. I can't wait to get the big battle.

Just a heads up, I have ordered a few new graphic novels that I need to finish the series for, so I may have a few random reviews thrown in while reading this book as well because the graphic novels shouldn't take me long to read at all. I'm just happy to finally be able to order them! Happy reading everyone :)
