Review of Dudesow
"Dudesow: The Unlucky Dude" by Christian R. Scrolls is a fantasy novel that perfectly blends elements of suspense, betrayals, and conspiracies in a captivating plot.
The story begins with the birth of the prince of Default kingdom, a birth that supposedly brings ill luck not just to the kingdom but to every single person that comes into contact with the young prince. Forced to live secluded and being blamed for the misfortune of the kingdom, things take a darker turn for the young prince as a plot to assassinate him comes to light. He manages to escape with an honourable knight, Sir Kerry, but he must survive on his own for some time while the now-retired knight tries to find the origin of his curse. As the plot thickens, betrayals come to light, and conspiracies unveil, the truth will not be hidden for much longer. Pick up this masterpiece and enjoy the wild ride.
One of the notable things I enjoyed about the book was the suspense and plot twists that occurred as the story continued. It became very difficult to predict what would happen next, and that is an important plus for a fantasy book. I also enjoyed the pace of the story; it was perfectly paced, not too slow to feel dragged out, and not too fast to make readers feel rushed. The character development is also another notable strength of the book; every character felt distinct, well fleshed out, and had their own motives.
As much as I liked the numerous strengths of the book, I also had a major dislike for it. The editing of the book was quite poor, as I noticed numerous grammatical errors and inconsistencies throughout the book. This could make reading the book a bit tiring for readers, subsequently causing them to miss out on a great story.
Overall, I'd rate Christian R. Scroll's "Dudesow: The Unlucky Dude" 4 out of 5 stars for its character development, suspense, and captivating plot. I deducted one star because of the editing issues I mentioned earlier.
I'd recommend the book to adults and young adults who enjoy science fiction and fantasy novels.
