| 3 stars !! “Why are mortals always so eager to declare things impossible, anyway? It’s not like things do or don’t exist just because you say so.” Julius likes to sit in his room and play video games. His mother thinks that his a failure at being a dragon, so she puts a curse on him that keeps him in his human form. She has also banished him to the DFZ- a place where dragons are killed on the spot. His mother wants him to prove himself as a dragon, or else she will kill him. He is swept away on an assignment, which includes some very hot headed, and colorful siblings. Before he goes on his little quest, he meets Marcy who is a powerful Mage. She thinks Julius just has a curse and no clue that he is a dragon. Somehow, she gets drawn into this adventure along side Julius. I picked this up because - DUH DRAGONS  This book was FUN! It was like a tiny little geek fest too - full of gamer references and tech talk. I don't usually enjoy urban fantasy, but this one, I must admit -was so much fun. The characters were so different with distinct personalities. Julius has some brothers who are involved in his quest- and they are absolutely hilarious. I loved the family aspect and their banter with one another. Nice Dragons Finish Last was action packed from the start. The pace was perfect and there weren't really any dull moments. It moves fast, and goes by pretty quickly at right under 300 pages. If you're looking for an urban fantasy that is silly and fun a little different from the norm- Id totally recommend this one! |
