Its quite an interesting book. Its very repetitive but I am not sire if its on purpose or if it is just that. I liked it but I am not quite sure of what to make of it. It almost reads like a children story but its not. I am confused as to what the book is. Its quite interesting and the book could go without the illistrations.

I received a free copy of the book and is voluntarily writing a review

Interesting story. Not normally my thing, but enjoyed this kind of fantasy. Would read from the author again.

I am a very big fan of dragons so as soon as I saw this I was absolutely pumped but I just felt Vering hating on dragons and the imagination and how they’re toxic and they try to manipulate people. I did like that it was poems and that it was rhymes and I very much enjoy the writing style but I didn’t enjoy the content of this book.

This was a very interesting book. The prose had a cadence that drew you in and the pictures were both haunting and interesting. I don't think this book was really for me but I wouldn't push people away from reading it.

I was expecting science fiction, and was disappointed. My mistake, as it does say allegory on the cover. I found it strange

I was attracted by the cover but I was expecting something more fantasy-like and the book didn't keep my attention.
Not my cup of tea
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

First, I would like to say thank you for this E-arc! Now on to the actual review! I think I wasn’t the right audience for this book. I was kind of confused, I guess. I requested this book because I absolutely love dragons, I think they’re so cool, but I either didn’t read the description or I didn’t understand what I was getting into because this is not what I was expecting. I think some people would love this, but that’s definitely not me! The author had a great idea but I think it could have been executed better. Some of the sentences didn’t flow well and it was definitely a little confusing at times. This one was just not for me!

I was attracted to this book based on the title; but I knew when I saw the added words "an allegory" it was going to 50/50 whether I truly got what the author intended. I likely just didn't take the courses in college that would have prepared me to better analyze something like this. Best I can figure, the dragons of the story - really an extended poem - stand for politics or the human condition? Anyway, the tale is lyrical, though confusing. Sadly, the Kindle version chops up the accompanying illustrations taking away from what they might add to the reading experience. In the end I think I was just the wrong audience for this one. 2.5/5*

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me an eARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I requested this book as I like dragons, I have always been fascinated by them and I was curious to see how the author portrayed dragons in this book. Sadly for me I feel like the author missed the mark on this one. I appreciated what they were trying to do with their poetic writing but at times the sentences didn't flow well and it was a bit confusing at parts to direct where the narrative was going.

I think with some heavy editing this can hopefully be fixed and I wish the author the best for their writing journey.
