Dragonjacks #4
The Champion
While racing back to Aerona, Tyber encounters Prince Winsom and a swell of dragon riders heading to the mother city to establish order and assert King Aymon’s authority.
Not an easy task. Word from those fleeing the mother city is that Lord Bisminth has arrested all the royal hordesmen and put unknown mercenaries in the skies. The Cadwaller family no longer controls the heart of the kingdom.
To retake the city, Tyber and Ren rise to new heights in the defense of friends, family, and the kingdom.
Unexpected champions are chosen in this conclusion of the Dragonjacks series.

I'm sad that it's time to say goodbye to Tyber
Very exciting beginning in this the last of A Dragons of Cadwaller, book 4. Unfortunately, the excitement didn't last. At about the middle of the book the story began to drag yet again. It is unfortunate that this story, actually all of the series, are co-authored and it is very obvious that there are two different people writing, two different quality of talents.
It's almost visible when they are switching out in the writing, about halfway into each book, there is a very noticeable difference in talent. In the last two books, #2 + #3 A very slow beginning until about halfway in, then it suddenly picks up and becomes exciting.
It's a noticeable difference in writing styles. One is methodical and detail oriented, "telling" the reader what is happening in lengthy details, while the other author is "experiencing" the story, almost living it, as she/he takes us on that ride with them, let's us experience what's happening.
In this #4 it's reversed. As soon as you start reading on page one, it gets my blood pumping. The writing style is that special, it's that good. It sucked me into the events. It was really exciting.
Then in about the second half it's no longer exciting, it becomes boring. I kept skipping pages. This should be so exciting to read, right. Yet, it just drags on and on. The writer is getting lost in the explaining, instead of allowing the reader to experience the events. And the ending? Hmm, it felt like the writer had run out of steam.
I am a "visual" person, I see the stories unfold in my mind. So when I read, for me its about the adventure told through a story, told as an experience which I then imagine. Reading for me is about learning about new possibilities, about experiencing something new, something I didn't know was possible. I want to experience this, explore it for myself, not someone telling me what it feels like, too many people telling us in real life what things "should" feel like, I want to experience. I read to expand my imagination.
I decided against reading another of their earlier series which leads up to these series. I don't like seesaws. Depending on who your partner is on the seesaw, it's either boring or jarring.
Co-authoring a story can be really special and exciting, (two minds are better than one?) or it can fail. When two authors try to tell the same story do we get two points of view, or do they collaborate? Personally, I can't imagine two being able to tell the exact same story. When they work independently egos can get in the way, and that can hurt the story and the series.
This is a real shame, because one of the Knestaut's is a gifted writer! Absolutely! I would devour every single book ever written or being newly published by that author! No kidding. That writer is a gifted author and I would follow and fully support him/her in every way. Unfortunately, splitting up this story between them is hurting the series as a whole.
So, Vickie and Danny, whichever you are with the indisputable talent, a gift even, please write your own story from beginning to the end. Please! 🤗

What an amazing end to a series!!!
I have loved this whole series and all of the ones before it. There was so much excitement, action, drama and all over awesomeness in this book. I recommend this series to people of all ages, especially dragon lovers, but to anyone who likes action and adventure.

Exceptional
The Authors of this and the series before this one really spin a Dragon Story! Dragon stories usually follow the same pattern, but,not this story. A really great story has you living it as you read it. The authors pull you into their world and you can't get enough! Any dragon person will really enjoy this story.
