Review on the Book “Becoming the Dragon”

I give the book Becoming the Dragon (The Dragon Inside Book 1) 3 out of 4 stars. It’s not my typical genre, but I have really enjoyed reading this. The reason I gave it 3 stars instead of 4 stars is because when the book first started I was interested in the story I was reading, but when I started the next chapter it was so different that I thought I was reading a different story at first. I was very pleased when the author brought the two together into an intriguing and absorbing read.

You first are introduced to the main character, Andy, his family, and the world that he is familiar with. After that you are transported to a different world and are given a look at his thoughts and the characters that play a larger role in the storyline from then on. There is an important change that takes place. And the author does a good job of showing how that change impacts Andy’s life and decisions. I am very interested in reading the rest of the books in the series to see what happens next.

Andy is not the only one that has an important role in this story. There is the impressive Karegar. He is prominent throughout the book. Jaggira is also essential to the story and intriguing.

I think this book would appeal to a wide variety of readers. Anyone that enjoys fantasy, adventure, and science fiction genres should read this book. The author has a fantastic vocabulary and keeps the writing interesting. It was descriptive without becoming overly wordy and boring. This book would not be a good fit for anyone that is offended by spells or magic.

The use of the glossary is nice. I’ve read other books that have included a glossary and I think it adds to the story. Sometimes it’s in the back and sometimes it’s in the front. Personally I think it’s better and more helpful to have it before the story, especially for ebooks. I wasn’t even aware that it had a glossary included until I reached the end of the book.

I feel that this is definitely a very worthwhile read that many people would enjoy. There was a term used that feels like it might have importance later in the series. I look forward to finding out if it does. I’m glad that I was offered the opportunity to read this.
