Dragon Fury Review (Spoilers, obviously)

What I Liked:

- “THIS IS FOR THE ALEX.” Everything about this was just amazing. Going into the book I had been hoping one of the Stowes would kill the Revinir, but honestly, this was better. Spike is amazing, and I think it’s really fitting that Alex’s creation is the one who killed the Revinir.

- That moment between Aaron and Samheed was great. They very clearly don’t like each other, but I’m glad they were able to get over their differences.

- Drock becoming the Dragon Ruler! He’s clearly earned it, and I’m happy something finally went right for him.

- Dev and Asha being siblings and descended from Ashguard. I definitely saw it coming, but I still liked that Dev has family.

- Maiven Taveer being a badass queen while also being an old lady. Everything about her is awesome.

- Simber. Just being Simber.

- The afterlife. Especially the Alex and Aaron moments. They have one of the most complicated relationships in the books, and I’m so happy about what it came to. I’m also glad it ended with Alex and Aaron vs Fifer and Thisbe. Seeing the dead characters was great (Meghan!!!!), and Aaron’s being forgiven by Eva and Marcus was beautifully written.

What I Didn’t Like:

- Fifer x Dev. Why, why, why. Fifer was very clearly touch repulsed and aroace-coded, and then all of a sudden she just... kisses Dev. Dev x Seth would have made way more sense.

- Rohbe. Maiven, who is Thisbe’s biological grandmother, adopted Rohan, so... incest. They’re also just... ugh. Rohan has no personality besides loving Thisbe, so while she is a great character, he’s pretty one-dimensional.

- The treatment of gay characters. There are two gay couples in the series: Henry x Thatcher and Clementi x Asha (both of which I absolutely love). Only Henry gets a POV that is ridiculously short, especially since he was a main character in the original series. Neither couple gets any moments together, and Clementi and Thatcher each have like two lines of dialogue. They were completely sidelines, and Lisa clearly only included them so she could say that she has LGBT+ representation.

- Seth x Prindi? WHY? There was no point to this unnecessary het couple. Prindi barely has a role in the story, and we haven't seen her and Seth interact once. Like I said in my point about Fifer and Dev, Seth and Dev would have made way more sense as a couple than either of these.

- Why does everyone need a love interest? In both The Unwanteds and The Unwanteds Quests, every major character gets a love interest, who is usually someone of the opposite gender. In the original series, we had Skylex, Lanheed, Aaron x Kaylee, Sean x Carina, Crow x Scarlet, etc. Even Florence had a male love interest, which is ridiculous. Then in Quests, we got Fifer x Dev, Thisbe x Rohan, Seth x Prindi, plus all of the couples I mentioned above.

So, looking back on everything I said: I liked the plot a lot, but I don’t like the way some of the characters and romances were handled. I also think a huge problem is that Lisa just had too many characters. Fifer, Thisbe, Aaron, Dev, Rohan, and Seth were all in the center of focus, but there were awesome characters from the original series like Lani, Samheed, Carina, Sean, Kaylee, Sky, Crow, Claire, Henry, and Thatcher that were all sidelined, as well as new characters like Clementi, Asha, and Ibrahim that were sidelined as well. I enjoyed reading it, but there was a lot that could have been improved.

I think it's interesting that (assuming levels of good and evil can't change) Dev is more evil than Aaron (Dev being 50/50 versus Aaron being more good than evil even if only slightly). That's it that's the post. I just think about it a lot.

#Okay I lied I'm adding a little bit mlre in the tags #I think the reason it sticks out to me is because Aaron's actions are so much worse than Dev's #Of course Dev did bad too (trying to profit off of “delivering” Thisbe and Fifer to the castle to be sold for example)#And you could also argue that Dev had a lot less resources/ability to evil do #(< Dev being kept as a slave and even after escaping that not having much vs Aaron not only being free but also Wanted and being in a #position of power as well upon becoming High Preist of Quill)#Idk #There's definitely variables but it's on my mind #The Unwanteds #Aaron Stowe #Dev Suresh #The Unwanteds Quests #Researcher Rambles

Big fan of this chapter I love their dynamic

#I went from “oh cool a new ghost dragon character” to “Astrid :D!” very quickly #very good duo #The Unwanteds #The Unwanteds Quests #Researcher Rambles #Dev Suresh #not sure how to tag for Astrid #Astrid the Ghost Dragon #?

Thinking about the scene in Dragon Ghosts where Dev (under the Revinir's mind control) is attacking Seth and Thatcher is upset they were ordered not to use lethal force against the black eyed kids when he himself was in that same situation as a child (fighting Artimé on the Revinir's behalf without any real say in the matter)

Obviously they're not fully the same situation (Dev is being influenced by mind control and fully fighting for the Revinir / Thatcher went because he had to though he still had his free will and ended up playing a part in the Warbler parents tricking Eagala) and Thatcher's reason for being upset is more he doesn't want Seth getting hurt than wanting to hurt children (because why would he) but I think the parallel is neat
