Dragonslayer | Duncan M. Hamilton
5 posts | 6 read | 14 to read
BuzzFeed Greatest Fantasy Book of the Year author In his magnificent, heroic, adventure fantasy, Dragonslayer, Duncan M. Hamilton debuts the first book in a fast-moving trilogy: a dangerous tale of lost magics, unlikely heroes, and reawakened dragons. Once a member of the King's personal guard, Guillot dal Villevaurais spends most days drinking and mourning his wife and child. He’s astonished—and wary—when the Prince Bishop orders him to find and destroy a dragon. He and the Prince Bishop have never exactly been friends and Gill left the capitol in disgrace five years ago. So why him? And, more importantly, how is there a dragon to fight when the beasts were hunted to extinction centuries ago by the ancient Chevaliers of the Silver Circle? On the way to the capitol city, Gill rescues Solène, a young barmaid, who is about to be burned as a witch. He believes her innocent...but she soon proves that she has plenty of raw, untrained power, a problem in this land, where magic is forbidden. Yet the Prince Bishop believes magic will be the key to both destroying the dragon and replacingthe young, untried King he pretends to serve with a more pliable figurehead. Between Gill’s rusty swordsmanship and Solene’s unstable magic, what could go wrong?

Mehso-so

A very basic dragon slayer story with not enough chapters told from the Dragons pov. None of the characters really stand out either.

But that cover art is fire!! I love Richard Anderson‘s art and will grab any books with it on it.

Some new books I was able to snag thanks to bookoutlet having them for super cheap! And book two is currently in route (bookoutlet got it after I purchased these two.) I have seen a lot of good things about this series and I have been interested in it, so I am looking forward to starting it in the next month or so.

Dragonslayer is the fantasy embodiment of dad bod Spider-Man: former best-in-the-land swordsman Gill has been out of the game for a while, but a newly awoken dragon isn't waiting for him to get back in shape. Add in a new young friend (Solène) who possesses untested, potent magic. Chapters from the dragon's POV are a unique element. A fun adventure suitable for many ages, as it refrains from mature content. Plus, all 3 will publish w/in 12 months!

This book has a delightful dry wit, and my absolute favorite thing is Gill continually trying to spend as much of the Prince Bishop's (his old rival) money as possible.
