:no-spoil: Although I have read a couple of fantasy books it does not pick my interest. I admit some are well written and for readers of fantasy stories I'm sure you will enjoy this one as I can tell from the reviewers perspective

The alpha leader of the dragons is well guarded, and the warriors will have an uphill task to do before killing the leader. I am curious to find out if they succeeded. This is an intriguing fantasy novel to read. Congratulations to the author on BOTD!

I am not sure if I would enjoy a YA adventure much. But there is only one way to find it out, by reading it. The review says that the writing style is great, so why not.

This videogame-based book seems interesting. I hope Ramsey and his team were able to protect Nashia and defeat the ant people. I do not play videogames, so I'm not sure this is my type of book. I'll sample it anyway, as I enjoy action-packed adventure novels.
Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

I don't think this is a book I'd enjoy. I'm not a fan of fantasy novels and this one has a complex storyline as most of them do. I'm sure fantasy novels would love reading about Ramsay's journey. Given how the reviewer enjoyed it too.

It looks like Caleb Birch is a great fantasy adventure writer. I am curious about the journey to the heart of the dragon, Peakiboon, the talking rabbit, and how it all ends. You have written the review so well without giving away too much.
Congratulations Caleb on the BOTD!

Peril and Splendor by Caleb Birch sounds like a great read for young adults. The author is adept at drawing the reader into the story and the characters as well as the story line are intriguing. The story revolves around a warrior guild and how they perform their jobs with skill, magic and intention.

I'm not a fan of fantasy novels, so I'm going to pass on this book. I'd rather watch a movie or TV show with dragons than read a book about it. I can never capture the same excitement in the book form; I need that visual gratification of seeing a dragon in its full essence.
