Title: The Dragon's Tooth
Series: Ashtown Burials - 1st book
Author: N.D. Wilson
Read Before: no
My Comments: I’ll speak of the flaws first, and that it is too long, and the plot is aimless. The beginning was dull and stretched for far too long. It is very likely that you’ll lose interesting in this story before it actually even started. This slow introduction takes up more than one-fifth of the book. However, the story never really takes off. The plot doesn’t seem to have a clear objective, being a mess at times. You never truly understand anything at any point (and it’s never fully explained either). It all feels very confusing. If the author could have streamlined everything, it would have made it a much better read. The writing was good though, it manages to keep you reading. It promises that everything will be explained in time, but by the end, still a lot is shrouded in mystery. Character motives are never explained, they just do their things and that’s that, even if it doesn’t make much sense or have any sort of justification.
