Review of 'Rage of Dragons' on 'Goodreads'

Found it a bit slow until about 15% and was close to giving up. At that point, everything started happening and I had trouble going to sleep at night as I just kept reading.

Great world building, fascinating characters who aren't perfect heroes, and interesting twists!

I'm not usually a big fan of military fantasy but thoroughly enjoyed this book.
