Requiem's Song
Requiem's Song: Dawn of Dragons, Book 1 | Daniel Arenson
2 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
Weredragons, men call them. Monsters. Cursed ones. People who can turn into beastly reptiles. In an ancient world just rising from darkness, they are everywhere. Some wander the plains with clans of mammoth hunters. Others are born in riverside huts. Some live across the ocean where seafaring tribes are discovering the secrets of bronze and writing in clay. Everywhere their curse is the same--people who can grow wings, breathe fire, and take flight as dragons. And everywhere, they are hunted. They hide in forests and caves, dispersed. Many are alone, unaware that others exist. They are shunned, afraid, dying . . . until a group of these lost souls binds together and stands tall. A blacksmith in a world of stone tools. A mammoth hunter exiled from her tribe. A traveling juggler and a wandering warrior. An elderly druid and an outcast prince. They are weredragons. They are cursed and hunted. Together they will forge a new tribe, a home for their kind. A dawn of dragon rises. The nation of Requiem is born. ____ In 2011, Blood of Requiem introduced readers to mythical Requiem, a land where people can become dragons. The book and its sequels went on to sell over 250,000 copies, captivating readers around the world. Requiem's Song returns to Requiem with a new tale--for both new readers and old fans--of wings, claws, and dragonfire. Requiem's Song -- an epic fantasy novel. For fans of dragons, shapeshifters, swords and sorcery, A Game of Thrones, Eragon, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

As much as I wanted to, I didn't enjoy this first book in a trilogy. The world building and character development were lacking. The author had several pet phrases that were used repeatedly. Also, there were several typos that should have been caught during proofreading. I feel no need to continue the series.

Anyone else seen this? It's an app called Booktrack, that adds a soundtrack/sound fx to books. I thought it'd be pretty gimmicky, but I previewed this bookie, and I'll be darned! 😵 It syncs to your reading speed very quickly, so the sound fx are timed to the scenes well. The first dragon screech made me jump, scared the bejeezus out of me! They don't have many books in their catalogue yet, but it's definitely something I'll be keeping an eye on!

stargazerblue49 I have been collecting that man's ebooks for a long time and have not read a single one. This makes me want to try again, though! 8y
