Dragon Tender

Fae Unbound #3

by Jill Nojack

Seventeen-year-old elf Avenall lives a solitary life as a Dragon Tender. His influential father is ashamed of him because his magic developed in a way that marked him as a servant. His mother disappeared shortly after his magic bloomed. Now, he has no family left but the dragons. When he learns the elves have plans to use them as weapons against the humans, he steals them in a bold plan to cross the ocean to warn the Queen of the Fae. Queen Lizbet welcomes him warmly when he arrives because he has a face she recognizes from long ago. But will his help be enough to prevent an elvin war?

About the author

Jill Nojack is a writer, musician and artist. She has rarely managed to make a living from the pursuit of her creative endeavors. Instead, she is a corporate drone who stays up late to indulge her passions. This passion paid off in 2015 when her book The Familiar: Book One in the Bad Tom Series was selected by readers for publication on Kindle Press through the Kindle Scout award program.

Ms. Nojack has cred. Way back in the long ago, she romped through a degree in English. She followed it up with a Master’s degree in Sociology. During her time at University she served on the staff of the school’s literary magazine. She eventually stepped in to the editor’s role.

When she isn’t exploring her creative side, Jill enjoys laughing too loud and long in public and talking about herself in third person. She resides in the great American Midwest with a long-suffering cat.

Reviews

[Valery · Rating 3 out of 5]

Better flow than the first two books. The plot line was actually engaging and the characters were a little more developed, though not much. I still didn't feel invested in the main characters. They were slightly more likeable this time, but they were still mostly bland, cookie cutter characters with little to no development. I don't feel like I know who they are. Avenall was the only one with real depth.

The grammar was worse in this one than the previous book. A lot of missing words, strange words that most people wouldn't know the meaning behind, and some weird sentence structures. Dialogue fell flat as well.

For my clean readers:
One swear word, mild kissing with little to no description, violence, and murder.

Excellent read. Enjoyed the new characters and the story arcs.
