Story
Dragons are common in the backwater kingdom of Bellemontagne, coming in sizes from mouse-like vermin all the way up to castle-smashing monsters. Gaius Aurelius Constantine Heliogabalus Thrax (who would much rather people call him Robert) has recently inherited his deceased dad’s job as a dragon catcher/exterminator, a career he detests with all his heart in part because he likes dragons, feeling a kinship with them, but mainly because his dream has always been the impossible one of transcending his humble origin to someday become a prince’s valet.

I feel like this book was written in a day after having had it as a dream. it was apparently narrated in a day as well.

Story
He was promised a life of wandering his new home and having adventures, but things got out of hand pretty quickly. He met with kings and gods, fought interdimensional cults, and got in a knife fight with the guy who creates universes. He didn't win. What he'd never done was roam around, having nice, sensible adventures. He hadn't even seen the hometown of his friends, and that had been the first destination on his list.

Lots and lots of lead up. in fact it's all lead up. nothing happens until the last quarter of the last chapter.
Don't get me wrong. It still has elements of entertainment. But it's all lead-up. It's all set up.

Grood story but stole another authurs trope
Reviewed: 05-27-25
So far the story remains good with an excellent balance of character development & interaction with plot, world building and action. But then the author uses a plot item lifted without adulteration from Shirtaloon's He Who Fights With Monsters series. Right down to the entrance prerequisites. Not sure how a good author justifies this.

Story
Returning to the territory he so brilliantly explored in his masterful New York Times best seller American Gods, the incomparable Neil Gaiman offers up a work of dazzling ingenuity, a kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth that is at once startling, terrifying, exhilarating, and fiercely funny, a true wonder of a novel that confirms Stephen King's glowing assessment of the author as "a treasure house of story, and we are lucky to have him."

Reviewed: 04-11-25
this story was bad. I don't know whether to hate the author more or the people who reviewed this book and thought it was a great idea. I do enjoy antiheroes. but this anti-hero completely takes the Cake for making us wait half the book just to find out what his power is. and then whining about is power for the remainder of the book minus the last seven pages where he's suddenly awesome. the whiny self-doubt and self-loathing goes on and on and on and on!
admittedly the narrator was absolutely fantastic with the material he had to work with.

Reviewed: 03-10-25
Well the world building probably has good bone. I mean, there are off side references to them.
the main character remains an enigma to the end. The hard-boiled detective who's secretly empathetic. but it's not done well enough for us to find him a sympathetic MC. The female token sidekick is stupid enough to drag down the story all by herself. But fortunately she has the MC's help.
I suppose if you are trapped in a hospital ICU with nothing else I might make this the 30th or so book recommendation.

Juvenile writing of illogical simple gods & happening
Reviewed: 01-26-25
I wrote a story like this when I was 13. It also wasn't a good story, just like this one. It was simplistic, naive, and had illogical choices and expectations. the gods know things and do things but they don't know how because the author can't figure out how to make it fit into the story. The bad God is a basic simplistic evil.
the audiobook is red slowly and lightly as if to second graders in their Sunday school.
It appears self-published Kindle books are rated on a different scale than professionally edited books. NDF and seriously regret the moments I spent on this book.

When Yao Shen, Patriarch of the Heavenly Sky Sect, ascends and regains memories of his past life on Planet Earth, he realizes that he can no longer allow himself to accept the cruel and violent ways of Eliria, the realm of cultivation. So he decides to change it. It was time to found a new sect. One based on the values of honor and equality over senseless violence and discrimination. A sect where all, from the mortal farmer’s son to a sect elder's daughter, were held accountable to the same rules.

I really tried but DNF.
Dull and formulaic description of how the MC does all the things. No emotion except the sterile description of surprise of others in the story as the MC does their thing. All challenges are blandly detailed and effortlessly handled.

Story
Benjamin, Mark, and Chloe were all set to graduate college in a few weeks. Ben had ordered a strange object from eBay to use as cover art for a book he was writing. It looked really cool, like a slightly charred old military artifact from 70 years ago. It was possibly part of an engine. After cleaning it up (it was found in a cow field), he placed the strange device on his dorm room desk directly over the wireless charging port. That woke it up. Unknown to him, the disabled starship hiding on the moon could now communicate with the missing part. The ship needed two things: 1) The missing ...

the hero is incredibly unobservant and naive. it makes it very hard to believe that they have such intelligence and smart as their history implies.
the epilogue implies so many different characters that the hero will eventually be entangled with but the incredible shortness and simplicity of this story makes me think it's a setup for a series of 30 books.
