SO GOOD! I'm sorry, if I'm going to write an honest review I'm going to have to gush a bit.A lot of books these days are very formulaic: Start with something to grab your attention, then enter a standard three part story focused on a single issue ending with a climactic scene and possibly an epilogue. this is not that book. Yes, there's stuff happening - there's a problem that gets solved in a really satisfying way, but that's not what makes this great, it's not really the point of the book.I'll try and explain - book reminded me of a really great mystery like [b:The Hound of the Baskervilles 8921 The Hound of the Baskervilles (Sherlock Holmes, #5) Arthur Conan Doyle https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1355929358l/8921.SX50.jpg 3311984] in which you are slowly piecing together facts dropped here and there. The fun is looking at the information you have and trying to fill in the blanks. But instead of a murder (or glowing dog) when you are reading this book you are discovering an amazing universe with an epic history.This book slowly reveals events that literally made my hairs stand on end - they would make such brilliant series in themselves.Drawing us through these revelations is Drago, a very likable and well meaning character who you can't help rooting for. Exactly the sort of character that I miss the moment I finish the book.If you like discovering new worlds - read this book. If you like reading about characters you care about - read this book. If you like puzzles to get your brain working - read this book. If you like utterly brilliantly written action scenes - read this book. Actually, if you've got an ounce of imagination - read this book.... but start at the beginning, read [b:Hera 2781 28259047 Hera 2781 (Drago Tell Dramis #0.5) Janet Edwards https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1450710941l/28259047.SY75.jpg 48298865], it's short and really good.I've said it before, of all the authors writing today, [a:Janet Edwards 5415711 Janet Edwards https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1657263898p2/5415711.jpg] is my favourite. [End of Gush]And now the wait for the next book begins. With this author, it's always worth it.
