Narrative In Pursuance Of Books The Dinosaur Lords (The Dinosaur Lords #1)
Men and women live on Paradise, but dinosaurs predominate. Colossal plant-eaters like Brachiosaurus, terrifying meat-eaters like Allosaurus, and, the most feared of all, Tyrannosaurus rex rule the land. Seeking to centralize real power in his figurehead Fanged Throne, Emperor Felipe of Nuevaropa sets off a chain of wars that may blaze up to consume the continent called the Tyrant's Head. But is Imperial ambition the only spark, or are more sinister forces at work? And so we have as our players: Fallen hero Karyl Bogomirskiy, who gets lured into the quixotic task of raising an army from a province of pacifists. Part-time dinosaur master and minstrel and full-time rogue Rob Korrigan, who wants to get paid and laid--but he follows the man he's written and sung about into what looks like certain disaster. Princess Melodia, who is eager to escape the shadow of her indulgent but neglectful father, the Emperor. And Imperial Champion Jaume, Count of the Flowers, the Empire's most celebrated swordsman and poet, who wants to serve Beauty and the right. But what can he do when faced with two equally wrong and ugly choices?Describe Books Toward The Dinosaur Lords (The Dinosaur Lords #1)

Originally reviewed at Bookwraiths.My rating is 3.5 stars. When The Dinosaur Lords was first announced back in 2015, the hype was palpable across the fantasy genre. The concept, the book cover, and that endorsement from George R.R. Martin created expectations which rose into the stratosphere; every fantasy reader seeming to be dying to get their hands on this cross between Jurassic Park and Game of Thrones.Then the novel was released.Reviews were mixed. Some loved it. Some hated it. MostA very rare did not finish for me. A brilliant premise, but I just didn't care about the humans in, this book.I haven't read this book for a few days and I haven't had a serious urge to start reading it again which is a problem.I have other books to read and more coming next month.
Full Review on my blog, Total Inability To ConnectFew books gathered more anxious and excited energy in 2014 and early 2015 than The Dinosaur Lords. Armed with a brilliant piece of cover art, a big publisher, and a very unique and (potentially) exciting premise, the novel seemed poised to take off upon it's release. However, following it's late July arrival, talk of it all but disappeared in the fantasy communities, and the reviews coming back at that point were tepid, at best. Why?Well, mostly
First of all, I need you to imagine such circumstances where time, nature and extraterrestrial gigantic rocks werent so cruel throughout - and at the very end - of the Mesozoic Era and wiped out these magnificent creatures. Just imagine dinosaurs lingering awhile longer in this world. Awesome, right? No! You crazy? No.Secondly, I want you to imagine not so distant history filled with lords and knights and queens of medieval time. A bit romantic isnt it? If we exclude famine and plague and
Well honestly this book was a big disappointment for me really because after hearing the hype surrounding it and hearing George R R Martin endorse this I was at least highly intrigued by the idea of including Dinosaurs within a Fantasy...however, this book is nothing like what I expected or hoped for and every time I thought it could become something good it really disappointed me in the direction it turned.I have many complaints when it comes to this book but mainly it comes down to lack of
Ooooohhhhh this book! Where even to begin?So, in full disclosure, I was given an ARC to read by the author.While I thought the premise was intriguing, I initially cracked it open because I am a fan of Victor Milán and his writing. But within a few lines, I was HOOKED! Hooked like a nosehorn, I tell you!If you are a dino geek, you will love this book.If you are an epic fantasy geek, you will love this book.If you an intrigue geek, you will love this book.If you are a warfare/battle geek, you will
