I really liked the rich language of Secchia's prose and I sometimes laughed at Blitz's amusing thoughts and observations as a dragon observing human conduct. But I felt that Secchia's effort to make his prose sound more conversationally with short sentence fragments backfired. I felt that his choppy sentence fragments were hard to understand and that they often interrupted the flow of his otherwise sleek and elegant prose.

A different dynamic between a princess and a dragon seems intriguing.

Thank you for the great review.

When I saw the title and cover, I definitely did not expect this storyline. I'm eager to read about the bond Blitz and the princess form, as I enjoy stories with animal companions.

I loved your opening line! The rest of your review is great, too. The cover, interesting as it looks, was a bit off-putting to me because this isn't typically my type of book. But your review paints an exciting, unexpected picture. What kind of bond can be formed between a snarky princess and the sensitive dragon who kidnaps her? Well, I'd like to find out! Thank you for a very helpful review.

Although fantasy is not my genre, this is a book I just have to read. I would love to know what happens in the end. Will Blitz finally be accepted by his clan? Will the bond between him and the princess change the intention of what he wanted to do with her in the first place?

I like how tropes revolving around stories about princesses and dragons are owned by Secchia in this story. I like the cover as well

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting fantasy novel about a dragon that wants to have a better reputation and the princess that he kidnapped for ransom, but when they develop an unlikely relationship things might be different. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

An entertaining fantasy story book "Call me Dragon" by Marc Secchia, which follows Blitz the Devastator has the unfortunate reputation of being a woefully unaccomplished dragon. Nice entertainer.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

This isn't the type of fantasy novel that I enjoy. I guess I'm not much of a fan of dragons. However, the book is nicely written, and I think that for readers of this type of fantasy, this is a good selection. Congratulations to the author on BOTD.

This book sounds like such a fun read! I like that a dragon kidnaps a princess only to find her a bit more troublesome than he might have expected! I look forward to reading.

In my opinion, any fantasy novel should include dragons, so this sounds like an excellent read!
