Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2021
I sometimes feel like I have nothing new to read and I’m just waiting for my favorite authors to put out new books. I have a hard time finding good authors. For example I was reading a dragon book that takes place on a red mostly desert planet with a red sky and very little water. The series started off to a great start but by book 8 I felt like it was written by a whole different writer who was working with an outline and had never read the series. So all along in the books the dragons are teaching humans how to live with little water and how difficult it was to find on this planet. But it is around this time book 7 or 8 or something close, that this human woman gets away from the caves that they live in behind a wall of stone wall that keeps the bad things out and she leaves this safety and finds a cave filled with a nice deep pool of hot water. The issue I have is that this woman doesn’t tell anyone else about it and just uses it to bathe herself everyday. The group of people in this book have to work so hard every day to get enough water for each person not to die and this woman would keep it secret. Not nice and probably not real. Supposedly, these dragons have been there for ages and they have a greatly enhanced sense of smell and they can’t find water a five minutes walk away? Then in one of them the ending went a certain way but in the next book it started off completely at odds with the previous book in the series. I believe in this one the main characters are looking up at a blue sky and I don’t remember what else but I don’t think I even finished it because I was so disgusted with the number of times in one book you contradict all that has happened in the past 6 or 7 books in the series. I think I was at 8 discrepancies when I wrote out my review of that book. This book series did pretty good at keeping track from one to the next. I understand that the next book will be on a different moon so that leaves it open for her to make everything new except the core part of dragons coming as guardians of parentless pod babies who they adopt out to women and grant them a farm and money to get started. Everything else is fair game. I’m really looking forward to the next set in this series but because this is where I started with Tasha Black I have a few other books to read while I wait. My hope is that this tells people that this is a great series and it tells the author that it is important for the enjoyment of a book series that each one has to be consistent with the other books. If you write a series you have to have a consistent backdrop and if the characters appear in multiple books that they are kept straight because we actually remember stuff like names and looks. Thank you. I apologize if you didn’t need all of this.
