Blades Of Leander #3
Silver Dragon
Alto's hands are stained with the blood of the fallen. The only justice he can find must be had by the blade, but the path of vengeance shows him that he is but a pawn in a far more dangerous game. Sarya's plans reach far beyond anything the young warrior could imagine and require a sacrifice from him greater than he can give.
Alto must make fear his ally if he is to lead his companions into the dragon's lair with any hope of saving the woman he loves and the two nations he calls home.

My day job is that of a computer jockey and all the hands on and hands off work that entails. When I leave the office behind I jump into family life (beautiful wife and two obnoxiously cute young children), finding a new way to hurt myself while powerlifting, and writing.
As of mid 2015 I haven't hit the 100 book mark yet, but I'm getting close! There's always at least in process. I just can't seem to stop myself...

Alright, I'm adding a little more on to my review because I see that I'm the only one of two (at the moment) to review this book. My original review is at the bottom.
This is the final book in the Blades of Leander series. It is mostly spent exploring the inner turmoil of the main character, and watching as he tries to overcome his greatest obstacle - a dragon.
If you can get past the poor editing, it's a good book for a young adult. Like I said in another review of Jason, I feel like he just needs a little more practice at character development and plot expanding. He has good ideas and great humor (Seriously, more puns please?).
Unfortunately I won't be buying the next installment for the right reasons. I'm a glutton for cutesy romances and goofy humor. This is a good read if you enjoy light, silly books, but don't buy them if you want solid characters and error-free chapters.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I don't know what's wrong with me. The writing is terrible. The editing is terrible. Names are misplaced all the time and there was a whole plot device abandoned in the second book that was never referenced again.
BUT I CAN'T STOP READING THEM. HELP.
Whether it's the editor's fault or the writer's, I don't know. Sometimes the narrator will be referencing Patrina, then all of a sudden call her Aleena. It happens more and more throughout the book. The humor is terrible (I love the puns though, keep those!) and cheesy, the love story is stupid and cliche ("I LOVE YOU, GOD YOU'RE SO STUPID!" 'I wonder if she loves me even though she straight up said it just now?') and at one point I gave up entirely on a character because she is so wishy washy.
But I can't stop reading these books, so I'll be picking up the next installment. I don't know what's wrong with me, because these books are horrible, but I love them. They're just the right amount of goofy I suppose.

A step up from the second book in this series, as Silver Dragon gives the reader a richer tapestry of characters. The primary story arc involving Patrina is handled in a curious fashion, ultimately playing a background role to all of the secondary elements.
The secondary plot line with Aleena really saved this book. Her story balanced out the series finale nicely.
The ending was rather anti-climactic, given the build-up. But perhaps that's a good thing. This series is quite battle-heavy, and the greater attention to character development in this book made for a more enjoyable read.
