Chronicles of a Royal Pet #3
Wood, Stone and Bone
It has been over a year since Jelly the Royal Ooze left the Royal Varian Mages Academy, and his owner, Princess Liliana Roan. Wandering Orria as a novice adventurer, Jelly desires to become stronger so he can protect those he loves as the agent of the Void creep ever closer.
But an intriguing rumor reaches the young Ooze. A rumor about strange, slime-based beings who are able to talk. Creatures much like himself. Desperate to find others like himself, Jelly, his Carbuncle Familiar Rosa, and the kindly Spirit of Knowledge Tara who lives in his head, all venture south of Varia towards the forested kingdom of Brune to uncover the secret of the talking Oozes. But not only are there those who seek to stop him from uncovering the truth, but the ancient forests tremble as something old and vengeful stirs.
Loneliness is a powerful motivator. But can someone truly be alone when surrounded by those who love them?

Deeper, Darker, and Interesting
It’s amazing to compare this Jelly character to the one in book 1, and see how much he’s grown. Other characters are growing too, but the rate of change for our favorite ooze is incredible. This book is a very good action story centered on Jelly and his traveling companions, with some nods to the princess and other past favorites. The larger plot doesn’t see much change, like we saw in the last book, but that’s fine because we get a lot of action and interaction here to watch characters and their relationships grow. Nicely done and edited, I definitely recommend reading it. If you haven’t read any other books in the series then you should start with book 1 for the best experience. Very nice.

Yea.. nop this book is not for me! the astronomical amount of cliches are overkill, the progression is at a snail pace' felt like a filler, and every character bored me to sleep (ok' not every one, there was this one dud how was cool, but not fleshed out at all, better lead than the real MC), it didnt felt like on the run if he can just go back and forth from the mission to the school and back, the inaction of the MC plays into enlarging the story and the bad guys playing around is dumb, just kill the slime then the end. I'm assuming this story is aimed at 10 year old kids so for that market is well written.

Prophecies are stupid, and lead to poor narrative choices. For example if you were a hideously evil cultist who wanted to prevent the prophesied one from dying with love in their heart do you:
A) chase them down, harrassing them and being otherwise an ineffectual nuisance, or
B) kill everyone they love violently.
If you guessed A), then this book might make some sort of sense to you. And more power to you for it.

Good Read.
Book 3. The story picks up a little after the last book with Jelly on the run. This book can be sumed up as a travel story with being on the look out for other intelligent slimes.
Picked up with now being on KU. There is a book 4 out, but will keep a eye on it to show on KU or if I need a good read (with not finding any other good books out there).

Yeses!
Ian Rogers continues to impress with the constant quality of the books he rapidly puts out. Not a very long book, but good read and a good continuation of the series. Hope to see the next books soon.

Sweet but short
I really liked the book it was really engaging. The only thing I disliked about it was that ended Rather abruptly. I thought they would have a couple of pages after fighting the big bad monster or maybe a time skip showing jelly heading off the meet the other slimes or something.

Third Book: An Ooze On His Own
Jelly has taken a step away from the classroom and taken up real-world experience as his teacher, while hiding his true nature from the humans around him. Excellent book and looking forward to #4 in the series!

A bit of a let down
The title felt very lacking compared to the previous two books. There was barely any growth to the characters or plot. It also felt brief and only took around four hours to read.

These are totally engrossing, and you would never have thought that a story about a bit of magical ooze would be. I am looking forward to the next one as this little blob continues his journey from puddle of guck to sentient being to protector of the realm.

Jelly the adventurer
I do like the characters and the world of this series. This one was a bit slow through the first half. The writing was well done and easy to read. I did enjoy the battle towards the end. Worth the money.

Better and better all the time.
This author is wonderful. Each book he has improved his technical skills without losing a single bit of the love and care that shines through his plots. I am truly looking forward to seeing how far he will come in future books.

If only it was longer, i love the entire book and it was great to see Jelly able to protect himself, if only it was longer.

Very short and unfulfilling. Either the author should combine this with the next book or fill it out. This book felt like a filler.

These books are silly. But that's how I like my RPGs, very entertaining

The book is almost good. Which makes me wonder if it is actually the 3rd book writer ever wrote. And so he is still learning the art of writing.
