Tatelyn had more than one reason to hate dragons. A
possessed one had killed her brother, another had
destroyed
her friend's town. Thus, Tatelyn had been spreading the
word that dragons must be banished. However, on the other
side of the ordeal, a dragon named Simle hates humans
because they maliciously stole her siblings. Her siblings
were eggs, at the time, and the eggs had suddenly
disappeared. And when the two characters met, they felt an
intense hatred for each other. But their fates were
intertwined in ways unimaginable.
Bronze Dragon Codex
was an exceptional book, with only a few flaws. First off,
the setting seemed vague, or almost non-existent in some
parts. However, there were also some dramatic scenes in
which the setting was a powerful factor in the layout of
the book. At the very ending, or climax, there was
definite
frustration and anger between one of the main characters,
Tatelyn, and her friend, Rogan. There were two very
distinct, and different, main characters, Tatelyn and
Simle. Tatelyn was a dragon-hating human, while Simle was
a
human-hating dragon. This resulted in much of the book's
conflict. I like how the writer let the dialogue set up
the
story, rather than narration. Having the story change
views
was completely appropriate, provided that there were two
main characters. The author did a great job of closing up
the story and finishing all subplots.
The writer succeeded in showing that Tatelyn and
Simle
were very different, yet the two characters had more in
common than they realized. The writing was effective,
showing how two very different characters dealt with the
same conflict. Bronze Dragon Codex had strong dialogue,
but, as I said earlier, had a weak setting in many parts.
This novel was well written, with an interesting plot and
an unusual but happy ending. The author could have let you
know the characters better, just to give this book that
final touch. I would highly recommend Bronze Dragon Codex,
as being an excellent book that you can't put down.
