See allI WANT A TEA DRAGON SO BAD. SOMEONE START A TEA DRAGON SOCIETY WITH ME
This book really wasn't for me. I did enjoy the writing but I found myself bored with a lot of the story. I enjoyed the bit about Chiron but the entire war felt empty and vague
I'm not a fan of Patroclus and Achilles relationship because Achilles treats him so poorly. Once again a Greek hero plagued by his own hubris. Poor Patroclus never deserved what happened to him, that's what I'm sad about
“Life in isolation is a death sentance”
This book both filled me with joy and absolutely terrified me. The whole chapter with the space rats.... nope, never want to experience that ever. My favourite place as definitely Aecor, maybe because it was the longest chapter but I really enjoyed it
The characters were really cool and I wish we got to know them better. I loved each of their different personalities and they worked well to balance each other out. The whole space system/technology was really well thoughts out
Turns out I own “A long way to a small, angry, planet” so I will be reading that at some point as it seems (?) to be part of a series. Either way I love Becky's writing style in both this and her Monk and Robot series and while they are vasty different they are both enjoyable and a great read :)
two words: David Tennant
Did I listen to this book just because of him? Absolutely
Did I also enjoy the book? Actually yes
This is a children's book through and through but that doesn't stop adults like me enjoying the more simpler read. I was slightly surprised that the film is very different from the book, quite a few differences. Dragons for one can talk? This did weird me out a little bit and Tennant's voice acting for it made me laugh. It's utterly ridiculous but I could see a younger audience enjoying it
I think I'll be continuing the series
