Title: Disgusting Yet Boring Dark Fantasy
Review: Having read a lot of fantasy novels and books with dragons, I like it when an author takes things in new directions. In his attempt to be original, Troop ends up writing something both grotesque and boring.The book is unevenly written. At times it's stiff and formal and at other times it's forid and overblown. The situations are implausible, even given the central idea that there are shapeshifting dragons living amongst us. What I found most difficult is that the main characters, who we're supposed to sympathize with, are people who callously kill and eat people. I made it about 1/4 of the way through this book before I gave up out of a mix of boredom and disgust. Avoid it at all costs.
