love Dragons but were dragons are the best Could not put this one down loved it Decided not to continue after the ChapterI would but it's subscription and idk if I want to commit to thatespecially if I find that I'm not interested in reading anything else on the site DNF byafer extensive skimming until themark I usually refrain from reading serials especially those that appear at scheduled intervals on writers' blogs or websites shielded by a paywall since they tend to long windedness confusing or convoluted plotting and hispid writing Due to the lofty reputation Raythe Reign has built up I decided to make an exception to my rule and try the least outlandish story of hers I could find without becoming a member of her community To say that I was sorely disappointed does not begin to cover the extent of my disillusionment Though it grated on my nerves to be treated toepub pages of word crafting so incorrect and frigid and feeble as to give Lynn Hagen's notoriously horrible style a run for its money a few examples cold spring rain was pouring inside the car through hole punched into the glass from one of the trees limbs in front of her Sebastian grasped the doorhandle to the rear passenger door finally with a pop the door flew wide and Sebastian spilled out onto the ground He gasped in pain as his damaged right shoulder slammed into the ground all the while he searched for those illusive bars he was so sick and tired of sympathy but no real help and no real answers Sebastian thrust the nonsense word out of his mine he slide the lock in place and clicked it shut Even if he was interested in getting together with someone Dana Stevens was simply the wrong gender He was so over high school theyd only be acuiantances before the accident he sighed and walked down the hallway towards the doors out of school “Get in the car now Not another word You have shamed yourselves and me Go” Fallons voice was withering etc amateurish writing is the least of the numerous sins of that story Utter ignorance of mythology an abysmal lack of general culture not made any better by fatuous use of the web at its most wild and unreliable drakonim is not in any way a Hebrew word just the outlandish adjunction of the Hebrew masculine plural marker to the Ancient Greek vocable for 'dragon' drakôn δράκων in the sense 'dragon serpent' the Hebrew for 'dragon' or rather 'monster' is actually tannîn תנין cardboard characters devoid of depth and any uality that would have made them come alive including a main hero one is very hard pressed to care about despite all that has befallen him as he takes forever and then some to become amicable a sky high mountain of chance occurrences and silly or preposterous coincidences an entirely clichéd view of high school and aristocratic families errors of continuity of any shape and size with the occasional confusion in names to keep the pot boiling an incredibly topsy turvy and weak plotline bloated with melodrama and nigh inexistent proof reading are but a few of the vagaries one has to suffer while reading through this cesspool I fail to see the appeal If two writers had to team to produce such a monstrosity it does not bode well for anything penned down by any of them on their own Sebastian King loses his father in a terrible car crash while his mother is sent into a strange catatonic state Before his father dies he repeats one word over and over again drakonim Sebastian later learns that this strange word means dragons What could his father mean And does the ancient and aristocratic Gedeon family and their eldest son Fallon with their dragon crest have anything to do with that whispered final word Status COMPLETEChapterswords All chapters are for members only Love the plot concept and characters However the writing dragged on and on a characteristic often seen in serials and development occurred at snail pacerounded up to aI can't believe it's finished and the only thought I have is 'what happens next' The ending was so great and the epilog gave me everything I needed for a wrap up while cruelly giving me so much to look forward to This is probably the most ingenious dragon story I have ever read the characters are amazing and the plot intriguing I love that the love interest had some healthy competition and how the their relationship is further complicated by another forth party If you want a story that is going to dig its claws into you and pull you all the way to the end then this is the story for you Dragons and humans intertwined The idea is not new but this story didn't feel like hashing the same old idea all over again I'd stayed up all night just to finish this one Can't put it down Sebastian is a young man barely holding on after his world fell apart on histh birthday A car accident killed his father left his mother catatonic and severely injured him so that athe was just trying to finish his final year of school Life is purely about surviving and trying to earn enough money to keep he and his catatonic mother in their family homeWhen Fallon a neighbor's son who had been overseas for the past decade returns home a little joy also returns to his life Despite Fallon being at leastyears older than him Sebastion has long had a crush on him in an innocent way when he wasbut definitely in a carnal way atSo he is overwhelmed somewhat disbelieving yet extraordinarily happy to find that Fallon returns his feelings But of course their relationship is not without it's drawbacksFallon is the son of Mathias Gedeon a wealthy secretive and ruthlessly powerful man not just in the local community but also on the world stage Not surprisingly Mathias inexorably draws Sebastion into this world through Fallon and Sebastion soon finds that much of his world has been cruelly shaped by Mathias and his family most particularly through one of the Gedeon family's secrets they are Dragon shiftersOverall I enjoyed this story hot sex scenes a bit of angst and a bit of humor imagine the most powerful dragon in the world wanting
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as well some interestingintriguing additions to the cast of characters but there are a few story threads that were under exploredglossed over that was somewhat frustrating Fortunately I believe the author intends to return to this world at some stage so perhaps some tidying up will occur then along with further exploration of some of the secondary characters X Aratare is the pseudonym for Raythe Reign's GayMM books.
