Babylon Dragon, the first book by Lea Ryan I've read, is outside the genres I typically read and I honestly didn't expect it to hold my interest. I was wrong. It is an engaging story from beginning to end that showcases a truly remarkable imagination.

I found the storytelling to be a little too ethereal and jumpy in places, causing me to go back and read earlier passages to see if I had missed something. That's my one negative comment. Fortunately, this issue is offset and overcome by Ryan's beautiful mastery of language. Her imagery is so beautiful, so fresh, that it's almost melodic. I'm hard to impress but she pulled it off. I recommend this book and this author.

Well written book that I will have to one day re-read, as I felt there was some things in the book that went over my head and I just didn't get (a lot of it probably having to do with my not being able to picture what the main character's favorite painting looked like... which I would recommend taking the time to do so).
