The Truth About Dragons
Meet the Dragon Warriors, the brave heroes who will dedicate their lives to keeping you safe. There's just one thing they're not telling you...
In the heart of the forest, the reclusive Dragon Warriors reside in their dark, dilapidated castle, operating outside royal instruction and protecting the realm from dragons, monsters and other unpleasantries.
Ramon Subramani, the queen’s charming Chief of Swords, enjoys a comfortable life behind the palace walls. When Her Majesty sends him to snoop on the Dragon Warriors, he’s willing to put up with hostility and mediocre meals in order to impress the queen.
But Ramon soon suspects the Warriors are hiding something, and they do not give up their secrets easily. To find the answers he’s looking for, Ramon will have to confront uncomfortable truths from his past … and risk revealing some secrets of his own.

Meh...
This book reads like a summary, or prologue. Doesn't have much story. The characters are boring and lifeless, their actions mostly make no sense, and everyone is pissed off at everyone for no reason. It seems like this book was written as an eighth grade English assignment. The premise is ok: dragon warriors out doing good in the world, envied by a childish queen, a man out to hide his secret who falls in love... But it all falls flat because there isn't actually a story. And the big secret the warriors hide isn't that they are shape-shifters themselves, but that they are actually grave robbers, feeding bodies to the dragons to keep them happy... Meh. Could have been much better.

Ramon Subramani left his home in Karkarus for some unknown reason, and in his travels, he made his way to the country of Jerran, where he found employment as a soldier. He stayed on and rose through the ranks. Ramon eventually became the Chief of Swords, a very high position for a foreigner just under the Captain of the Guard Alison Maccrae, who had hired him in the first place. As he rose in station, he started to enjoy his position and the perks that came with it. The pay, of course, gave him access to better wine. He had private quarters, free meals twice daily, and castle servants to help him. But now, the queen wanted him to travel to Castle Linnivere and find out why the Dragon Warriors wanted more money to upkeep the castle. She wanted to know their secrets because she hated them and their popularity with the common folk. Then the Captain of the Guard, Alison Maccrae, told him some interesting news. She planned to retire soon, and if he was successful in his mission for the queen, he could probably have any posting he wanted in the kingdom.
The story premise holds a lot of promise, but there were some formatting errors in the copy I got, which made it hard to read in some places. Then there was the need for an editor, a human editor. The physical world-building is done well, while the ethereal world-building has its moments. The character development and interaction were done well enough, but the characters did not distinguish themselves sufficiently to be remembered. Thus, I had to keep notes to refer to the scene change or when another character entered the picture.
This book, the first in this series, has fantasy covered and has given a seriously good base for an epic story. However, I think it could have been darker or more ominous. Then there is the twist, the secret, and it’s so good. I give this tale four stars out of five stars.

Fairly Fast, Often Humorous
I really enjoyed this fairly fast, often humorous tale introducing the Dragon Warriors of Jerran. It reminded me a lot of the governing system of several present-day countries with a queen that is quickly and easily distracted, and the dragon warriors hiding a HUGE secret! Yet the general public despises the queen and loves the dragon warriors almost to the point of worship.
This book is just an introduction, and does not tell the story of any one dragon warrior in particular, although the main character in the book, Ramon Subramanian, Queen Estrella's Captain of Swords, has been assigned to investigate the warriors and their home and takes a liking to Evan, the Blue (Water) Dragon Warrior.
I highly recommend this book. It's appropriate for young teenagers to young-at-heart adults with the most adult content being an allusion to Ramon and Evan spending the night together. No details. It was very refreshing just for that! The queen was also hilarious. I look forward to reading more books in the series as I am able.

February 18, 2021I really enjoyed the story. Brace yourself though- there are a lot of side stories (some which don’t seem necessary). I cant say that it could’ve been written better but hey. They basis is this guy is trying to find a place in society and gets sucked into a world of dragons. He is trying to sort through what is actually true.

I simply love dragon stories
This was a really good one. Many interesting twists and turns. Can’t wait to see book 2. Please keep me updated on it.
