A knight, a feisty tomboy of a girl and a vengeful aristocrat go hunting a dragon… Please stop me if you've heard it before. Think you have? Possibly somewhere but not quite like Jen Williams tells it. In this physical book combining four previously e-booked novellas Jen shows what you can do if you take an apparent cliché and add different seasonings. The resulting literary dish is over 500 pages of adventure that left me wanting more.
Take our shining knight for instance. Sir Seb was drummed out of his order for something that none of [[:Category:JRR J R R Tolkien|Tolkien's]] heroes ever thought of, even if they'd had the energy. For me Sebastian endows the story with a level of real world relevance and I salute Jen's bravery.
Wydrin is a bit nearer to the stereotypical feisty lass but is still amusing and fierce enough to get away with it. As for Aaron, is he a goodie-baddie or a baddie-goodie? Jen keeps us guessing as to his motives as we smile at his self-belief surpassing his ability (until he takes matters into his own hands).
