In the House of Five Dragons
Delightful character growth, original "magic" system and highly entertaining! I really liked how Rikard, Thainna and Gaius progressed throughout the story- I was really pleased with the ending because I didn't see it coming at all.
Is it sort of a mashup of "Firefly", Snow Crash, "Stargate", Zones of Thought, and other works? Yes. Are the plot twists fairly predictable and the coincidences fairly contrived? Yes. Did I like it anyway? Yep! Stick with it, it gets better as it goes along.
One of the better fantasy books I've read lately. The characters are well rounded, you see actual character growth, and finding out who the main bad guy is? That was a twist I didn't see coming!
The magic system was unique; I can't recall seeing something like it before. I loved the world building, especially the glimpses we get of Alterra.
The fact that the hero of the story isn't a Mary Sue was quite refreshing; especially when she didn't even have any powers. And the fact that her foil wasn't arrogant? Almost unheard of!
My only complaint with the book was that we didn't get to see more of what happens in Alterra. Hopefully we'll get a book set there some day.… (mer)
