Meet Ian Rogers and Drake Williams of
the Broadway County, your quintessential, typical American kids on a ride worth
of the mighty life itself. Travel through the first installment of the series
through the land of Scyrin dwelled by the wise elves, diligent dwarfs and the
generous men. Witness the kids confront their destiny deep in the ruins of
Schweringard, facing a mortal threat larger than that for their age, for their
secret friend remains the king of all- the Scarlet dragon.
My
opinion
“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain
cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.”
― Dr. Seuss
‘Fire, Wings and Claws’ is a fantasy
treat for the mind. The author has taken care to cater to the reading interests
of the target audience. This book is suited for those who still love to get
zoned out and live in a cloud-cuckoo land. Yes, this book has the potential to
blow away the cobwebs, for it has elements of mystery, adventure, and magic.
The inclusion of imaginary (that is what I believe) dwarfs, elfs and dragons is
very interesting.
Coming to the technical details, the
cover of the book is way too plain. More dramatization or animation would have
been better. The blurb is short but not crisp. The main/ central idea of the
plot was not conveyed successfully through it. The font (style, size) is okay.
Since I was given the eBook, print quality is unknown to me.
The plot is strong and gripping but the
lengthy monologues act as a turn off. There are minimal dialogues and the
extensive descriptions break the flow of reading. Some ideas sounded familiar;
they reminded me of the fabulous fantasy movies/ books- Harry Potter, Lord of
the Rings and Narnia. But it is not wrong to get inspired, right?
The major drawback is the negligence shown
towards editing and proof-reading of the book. There are too many grammatical
errors, right from punctuation to tenses.
Disclaimer:
The more you try to find logic behind the plot, the more boring the plot
becomes. So, grab this book to enjoy a hearty yet magical story.
Best wishes to the author!
