He fought for victory. Now he must fight for a kingdom.
Roman Dravik was a warrior born in the cage—an ex-soldier turned MMA fighter with nothing left to lose. Dragged through the Veil into the world of Avalon, Roman finds himself in a land ruled by kings, dragons, and magic.
After saving Princess Yvette from a brutal ogre attack, Roman is hailed as a hero and drawn into the deadly politics of a kingdom collapsing under threats from within and without. When the mighty empire of Savon returns to reclaim Avalon, the flames of war ignite once more.
Now, a lone fighter from Earth must rise to become the Dragon Conqueror—or watch the realm that gave him purpose burn to ash.
🔥 Dragon Book One launches an epic fantasy saga filled with dragons, fallen kingdoms, fierce battles, romance, and the rise of a hero destined to rule by fire.
Excellent story and logical well developed MC. Explicit sexual scenes are neither common nor overly lengthy. Appropriate as he first duty of a writer is to be a good author. Only downside is the excessive padding. The writer exlusively uses double blank lines to separate paragraphs instead of the traditional indent or single blank line. As the average length of the paragraphs is at most 4-5 lines this means that a tad over 25% of the page length is wasted space.
This is not original, but it is still a great story. The characters were well done and mostly fit the story. There were a number of times the story assumed you knew the subtext of what was going on in background, then at other times so clearly stated things it was too simple. Worth reading, not going to deduct stars because I am being picky. Good story, hopefully things will expand in next book.
Good but not great. I like the MC and he responds appropriately for his position (when in doubt, look at the First Wife). It's a bit light on worldbuilding and the dragons kinda suck. Being able to blow air around isn't exactly awesome, but wind blades would have been, so what's up with that? And water dragons just squirt? A rock dragon has hard skin and that's it? Nothing? It's pretty lame. Still going to read the next one, but my expectations are low.
All around fantastic new start to a series, great characters, an interesting world. The story is on the basic side but it is incredibly well executed. I'd rather have it that way than a super complicated plot or super weird power system just to be different. I will be on the lookout for the next book!
This author butchers the English language so much, it is painful to read many of the passage in this box.
His characters lack depth, the women in particular. If you to the personalities of all the women in this book and combined them, you would have barely a single normal person. The rest of this book is just a teenagers sex fantasy.
I liked the faster pacing, not meaninglessly descriptive, and the spice. I will definitely be reading the next book. Even saying this next part is a slight spoiler, but this is a kingdom building novel with some action as well. A strong protagonist that isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty.
All of this author's writings have been a joy to read and this one is no exception to that trend!!! A beautiful interesting world, a unique MC who is not OP and wonderful interesting characters!! I can't wait to see what happens next!!!
This really does read like it was written for young children. Short, simple sentences. Lots of paragraph breaks. No long words. Fairly dull unfortunately.
I'm thinking we need Goodreads to add a reading grade-level to book descriptions. This book seemed very simple at times, so I spot checked a few pages using OpenEduCat. It is written at about a 6th grade reading level. At times it dipped downward towards a 4th grade level. Not quite 'Fun with Dick and Jane' territory, but getting close!
Our MC Roman is more than willing to sleep with women, but tries to decline any hint of responsibility for his sexual partners by not being willing to claim them as wives or concubines. He eventually grows out of it, but it's quite annoying at first. He also fights against being acknowledged as king by trying to decline his title. While "you don't have to call me 'my lord'" sounds like an egalitarian ideal, Roman's constant whining about it actually undermines his authority and makes others uncomfortable. He IS the king! He IS the ultimate authority in this kingdom. Being afforded titles and honorifics is a reminder not of his moral superiority, but his responsibility to the people of the kingdom. Trying to reject the titles as he does is a subtle way of rejecting his responsibilities as king. It is good that he seems to grow out of this by the end of the book.
