Dragonvein Book One edition by Brian D Anderson Literature Fiction eBooks
A very well written book. Easy to read. Excellent audio (by mistake I bought the Audi but it was really well spoken and clear and I am not a native English speaker). However it falls into the old problem of being to similar to the Lord of the rings. There is no one ring to rule them all but there is the party of people, the bad ruler with infinite power, the elven and the dwarfs. I know it is the dungeons and dragons formula as well and that most of this kind of fiction follow the same formula but it would have been nicer to find something different.To be fair, it has some twist that makes it more enjoyable and at least there are no weird names and long and hard to follow dynasties. It is okay. But just OK. Not sure if I will buy the next books

Dragonvein Book One edition by Brian D Anderson Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
The first book reads a bit 1 dimensionally, but by the 4th book things take a few nice turns and the characters have become nicely complex.
If you like mostly straight forward adventure with problems and deeper character struggles along they way, featuring dragons magic and sword fighting you'll like this book
A story of mages, and dwarves, and elves and dragons. What more could you ask for?
Magic is flourishing. Romance is alive. Danger is around every corner.
I really enjoyed this story!
That said, I must mention one thing that bothered me the author isn't aware that showers and a few other conveniences were not available on Earth during WW2. Baths were the common way. Again, not a big deal but a couple of these details make a book complete for me so I can't give it 5 stars--though I wouldn't dock him a whole star if the option existed.
Other than this little gripe, everything else flowed beautifully.
Story is nothing new, and that is not a bad thing in itself. The road to travel is how it is told, and here it falls short.
My main irritation is twofold
- simple story and still in need of continuous intervention. I.e. A good story can begin anywhere, no matter the coincidences, miracles etc., but then should move along a path without any of that. Here the author seems to relish in creating situations which can only be resolved with outside help, not by action of the main character, see below
- other gripe is that the characters while flat are still very inconsistent ( see below), the author has a clear picture in mind of where he wants to go, but lacks the means to achieve it except by brute force.
I like the scope and the vision of the author and I might try to read another book by him in a few years but for now I will stay clear.
******spoiler alert three situations with outside help spring to mind, twice dragons interfere, once a friend who had been teleported to the world earlier and just so happens to be there...and anyhow if dragons can come to him and they seem to want his presence, why not simply carry him with (on their back or in claws, I mean who cares?)
Second example Girl growing up on the streets, doing everything in a sneaky way to stay alive and from inside a bordello, even killing in cold blood....and then reverting to a giggling untroubled persona who declares love interest in a very ham-handed manner? Come on!
First of all I have no recollection of ever ordering this book, but it appeared on my iPad and since I was having a hard time finding something to read I didn't send it back. Here we are a few days later and I have now almost finished the second book. It's a very different theme, time/dimension travel, starting out from a WWII battlefield in Germany, ending up in a world with dragons and magic. There's a few heroes, a princess in distress and lots of the usual characters, trolls, elves and dwarves, and a wicked villan to keep the action moving forward. Just when I think it's getting predictable, off the story goes on a different and unexpected tangent. It really is a good read. It's engaging and the characters are pretty well fleshed out so that they are believable. It's kept me reading every chance I have had this week. I am not your typical fantasy reader, I am a 62 year old grandmother of 7.....I started reading fantasy by Marion Zimmerman Bradley back in the late 1970's.....sci-fi fantasy just keeps getting better I think, and the Dragonvien duo are great examples of innovative thinking. I recommend them.
Okay. I read all three of them. They are enjoyable, and the protagonists are a bit strange, but it is fantasy. I found the time travel premise a bit out of place, because all the knowledge and abilities of a 101 Airborn ranger to be lost, and may as well been omitted . The story line runs the gamut of fantasy, with strange creatures, long treks, and all the rest of the typical modes. I did enjoy them, mostly because after reading fantasy for 50 years or so, I have come to look foreward to the new authors take on repeated aspects. I was a little disappointed with THE END at the end of book three, but I assume he likes to eat, and will continue the series.
Have you ever read a book that you know what will happen long before it ends? I don't enjoy books that are too obvious. This story is a good versus evil plot that is easy to read; but, it has subplot along the way that are surprising.. Author. Brian D. Anderson, has done a masterful job of setting up the Dragonvein series. I have already purchased book two as the ending had me wanting to know more.
The characters come to life and are easy to love or hate and it is interesting to watch their interactions with different race. Were elves given the short straw? There is much to learn and I want to see what happens as the magic becomes k nown and so I am sorry for this short review of scattered thoughts but I just can't wait to start book 2. KUDOS Mr. Anderson on a great first book in a series. Don't miss out on a great story. I can recommend this story to all ages and tell you that there is something hear for everyone to enjoy. Until next book...happy reading!
