A very promising debut, one I thought deserved 4 stars. It is gritty, certainly not for a young audience. With a cast that would shame Game of Thrones, and a university that makes Hogwarts seem like kindergarten. You cannot trust anyone, for this reason, as well as others, you must not get too close to a character, as John Palladino weaves this monster of a tale. No less than 700 pages of mayhem, magic, and bloodshed. The story starts slow, but soon gathers momentum as we are introduced to new and interesting characters: 5 different walks of life that will capture the love, hate, and compassion of the reader. Thank you, John Palladino, for sharing your work with The Book Dragon.
