I downloaded this from Kindle Unlimited and am torn on whether I like it. The storyline is good and the comaraderi is great. What I struggled with was the backstory. The main character Carmen is trained as an assassin from childhood. She apparently was top student and then loses sight in one eye and becomes useless. She suddenly has not skills and cannot fight. Very contradictory from beginning. Possible SPOILER ALERT...They become assassin's at the age of 16, but this girl is useless. Seriously she is nothing without her dragon counterpart. I just cannot decide if I want to continue with book 9. Took me ages to get through as well, which is very unlike me. Overall a bit underwhelming.

Wonderful!
Finally got to read the Omnibus (love that word!) after seeing on the author’s newsletter that all 8 books were available-for $.99 though I’d have paid much more for this set.
I hate starting a series and not knowing when the next book will arrive (The Name of the Wind comes to mind...) so this was a delightful read. The series had good characters and the plot came full circle to develop satisfactory conclusions.
I highly recommend this set if you enjoy a fantasy, assassins and dragons and wizards, oh my!

Great story of mortal and her friend the dragon 9 stars
Every assassin dreams of being the best but Carmen had to share with her twin until he accidentally blinded one of her eyes. Then she had to work twice as hard to get passing grades. Then came the day she found the Dragon and topped that with her brothers betrayal and her world fell apart. This story is how the dragon saved her and she him and the rest fell in place.

An excellent set of books and great value too!
An excellent set of books full of action, adventure, betrayal, friendship, love, hate, laughter, tears, and of course dragons and assassins! And having all the first eight books in one omnibus edition makes it great value too! Highly recommended

Dragons, assassins, wizards! What more can you ask for
Loved the bonds between the main characters.
I will say that this is definitely one of my favorite series to read. The growth of each of the characters and how they changed was fascinating. I can hardly wait to read the last two books in the series or chapters or whatever. I even paid full price for them

Dragon Assassin Omnibus: Parts 1-8 was a great read, had trouble putting it down! Was so thrilled that there was Dragon Assassin 4 (Dragon Assassin Omnibus) 9 and 10, that I immediately began reading it! I will be checking out more of Arthur Slades's books, love his writing!

Carmen and her brother are in assassin school and things don't go as expected. There is a snarky dragon. There is magic. People almost die. People do die.

Enjoyable
This series was totally different than what I expected. I enjoyed it though, learning about all the characters and their backgrounds. I love the Omnibus versions as well, because you can go from one book to the next without having to download after searching for it.

This was the tragedy known as "Characters you care about who travel through the Endless D & D Dungeons of boredom and meaninglessness".

excellent action story
The originality of the story line is surpassed only by the creative characters; some who were human but augmented in various ways.
