Of Scales and Distant Shores

Chronicles of a Royal Pet #4

by Ian Rodgers, Damien Sim (Illustrator)

A mysterious continent of vast potential and incredible danger. Inhabited by the ancient, powerful dragons, the brave and sturdy Lizardfolk, and the cunning Kobolds, it is a land that offers much, and demands even more. It is this place that Jelly now arrives, eager to seek out fellow speech-capable Oozes. His excitement however is overshadowed by the turmoil that has draped across Drakon. Tensions between the human, elfish, and dwarfish colonists and the native scaled denizens has reached a peak, and conflict seems inevitable. All the while, the dark forces which have pursued Jelly across the ocean now fan the flames of war, eager to incite chaos. Can Jelly muster the willpower to save the two cultures, even if it means sacrificing the chance for a family?

Good Read.

The story continues. Jelly is looking for the people turned slimes. A new plot is hatched to start a war with the lizardfoke.

Loved the first few books but...

I like the first few books, and I don’t mind Child like simplicity but this was over the top, he supposed to be powerful seems nervous around everyone and basically just hangs around until someone else saves the day, And basically doesn’t grow or evolving anyway… If you read the next book starting on the last book you wouldn’t even miss this one

I think this is the best book yet. Jelly is off on new adventures and so fun and unique. The story flows well and even though it is a YA, it's fantastic. The previous three books need to be read before this one, but I recommend that you do so.

This series original and great!

I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to future installments. From the MC to the story, this series continued to surprise me and show how original it is. Definitely recommend.

I did not care for this. They just sort of amble about talking at each other. Any action is bracketed by pages of tedious info dumps. “So why is this dragon army coming to eat us?” “Well that’s a good question, and requires careful analysis of a number of historical factors. You see...”

Fun and easy read for light Fantasy.

I tend to alternate between hard scifi and fantasy. This series has been a nice break so far. The book was an enjoyable and quick read from start to finish. If I had children, I would certainly put them on the series.

Things are getting real.

9.5/10 Technical
10/10 Plot & Storytelling
14/10 Cute and Adorable

If you've made it this far in the series you know what you are in for. Everything the last book had, but better.

I'm debating quitting this series book three was a dud and this one barely held on. The plot is dragging. Jelly is not "getting stronger" even though that's one of his goals. It kind of feels like the story is destroy everything Jelly touches and kick him a bit more.

Pretty good

Another great book in the series that continues to show off a wonderful world with plenty of action and plot. Hope more comes out soon.

Pretty good

As good as the other royal ooze books, if you enjoyed reading those, read this one as well. Kinda wish it had some more action.

Awesome

So is there a fifth book in the works? I really enjoyed this series and can’t wait to continue on Jelly’s adventures.

Great read. Being a slime seems amazing.

[Skye · Rating 3 out of 5]

As expected silly and good fun but the way he writes about women (nearly always "cute") has got grating.

[Vaidotas · Rating 3 out of 5]

Was quite interesting.

Bad grammar

This book needs an editor badly. The numerous grammer mistakes make it hard to read without getting angry. The story is good though.

[Zack Turner · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent

Fantastic read! I absolutely loved it! I can not wait for the next one to be release! Such great characters in this book!
