pongo0614's review against another edition
2.0
Now, I am going to start this off with the fact that I brought all three books in this trilogy before I read the first one, thinking that I would like the first book and, therefore, all of them.
And much of my review for this is going to be the same as my review for the first book. I like the overall storyline, I just... get lost in what is actually happening at times.
Maybe it is just a little too wordy for me. That, at times, I find myself reading the same paragraph a couple of times because I don't think that I've actually read it properly.
Maybe, despite my better nature, I am going to give the third book a read. I can at least be hopeful and have my fingers crossed that I will enjoy it more...

A bridging novel Many years ago man and the magical creatures that share the world came to a pact, that a select group would stay on earth and the rest would sleep. Most of humanity has forgotten and the magical creatures hide out. Ben Garston is one of those magical creatures, a dragon and really all he wants to do is drink and forget the past and the girlfriend he had to leave but no, the folks who enforce the pact have plans and one of them includes killing him.He has to work with other magical creatures who have their own agenda. The fate of the world is in their hands but how to save it is a problem.
It's interesting with modern world and mythology clashing and characters trying to do their own thing. It's also a bridging novel so I think a lot of it is involved in setting up what will come. Interesting but needs the prequel.
