    Best Fantasy of 2020!
  

*by M***O on Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2020*

The original review can be found on TheFandom.net where a review copy was provided in return of an honest review.In HOUSE OF DRAGONS, Jessica Cluess delivers a non-stop thrill ride that dives deep into politics and breathes life into action-packed scenes.Normally, when the Emperor of Etrusia passes away, the Great Dragon calls the eldest child from each of the five Houses to compete in the Trials with their respective dragon. The winner becomes the new Emperor or Empress and they rule successfully until their passing, where the cycle restarts. It’s the same every single time, until now. Suddenly the younger siblings are being chosen, and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop it.When I first saw that House of Dragons was told from five different points of views, I became a little concerned. From past experience, multiple points of views start bleeding into each other and the character’s personalities start blending. I’m no longer able to tell them apart and end up getting frustrated. Cluess makes sure that every single one of her characters are completely different so that doesn’t happen. From the start, I was able to differentiate these distinctive characters. They all varied with their emotions and actions and stand apart from each other. You could literally open the book at any page and within seconds know who’s point of view it is.Their voices mirrored their arc that takes you on this wild journey and you see their progression the further in you go. I found myself questioning every single person and wondering which of them would win the Trials and take the throne by the end. Even the side characters play a large part with their depth and complexities. I found myself wanting to know more about everyone and hoping that we would get more stories out of them. I honestly liked every single character in this unique cast and wanted more.One of my favorite parts had to be the story itself. Because of the Trials, we see the characters doing their own things and going about their business. But the story makes sure that they cross each other and fits them into this larger puzzle. It was almost like a game of chess, where if you take out one characters action, nothing else can happen. The entire time I was reading, I was literally having fun. Through the happy moments, the action scenes, and even the sad times, I was having as much fun as if I were watching a blockbuster movie.I thought the world building was intriguing. While the novel focused more on the characters and their dragons, I thought that what we saw of the world was beautifully done. It made me want more, and want to dive deeper into its lore and cultures. I’m not sure if it’s because I really like the novel a lot, but I want to know about the past, present, and future. I want to see in-detailed passages about all the lands. I just want to ask for too much honestly.While reading, I did get little hints, almost easter eggs, to Game of Thrones. At least I hope they were easter eggs, what with one of the main characters being called Emilia, and especially with the way things ended. It gave me the same vibe except I wasn’t disappointed this time. I was Excited with a capital E. I found myself almost wanting the “villain” to continue with what they were doing.At the end of it all, Jessica Cluess is smart and witty and has easily given me one of my favorite books of the year. She introduces us to this almost modern fantasy world, with current “moods” and “sayings” that sets it apart from others. It wasn’t trying to be this classical fantasy novel, but gave us what we know today. It’s a little difficult to explain but that only means you’ll have to buy the book and read it to understand. And hopefully, she decides to write more worlds set in Etrusia aside from the sequel.

    3.5 Stars. Not a bad book, but could be so much better!
  

*by A***K on Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2020*

First of all, I accidentally bought this book. I was trying to tap "Save to List" on my phone and instead I tapped "Buy It Now".  It was recommended in a fantasy group on Facebook so I thought I'd add it to my list and wait for the price to come down. Whups. So I paid a whopping $10.99 for it on Kindle, which actually turned out to be $11.75 with taxes. This book is not worth $11 on Kindle. It's a good book, but it's not that good.Thank goodness it was copyedited well. I can't stand books that are slapped together with no editing or proofreading.This is one of those stories I wish the author would take the time to rewrite and just let loose on it. I wish it was more like GM's book-- way too long for absolutely no reason--just because I want more.I love a good competition. I've loved it since I read the Hunger Games and it was so nice to see one in a fantasy setting. An Ember in the Ashes was ok with its competition, but after that the story turned lame. I hope that doesn't happen in this budding series.***Spoilers below***Storied Adventures's classification of the characters is pretty spot-on. I kept hoping that Hyperia would change by the end--it kind of seemed like she wanted to, or almost did at multiple points in the book--but it never really panned out. Maybe that would've been too predictable or cliche. I also wish Ajax would've been less of an idiot but he never smartened up. By the end I was rooting for one of his near-death experiences to take him out.I think the challenges were too fast and over too quickly. I suppose an empire can't go without a leader for very long, but they pick up all these people and in five days they'll have a new emperor and that's pretty intense. I would've liked it more drawn out.I wish the Hunt trial was more complicated than it was. It was pretty cut and dry, even if there were ulterior motives by the priests.Like another reviewer said, the Game was the best opportunity for the contestants to flex their emperor-quality muscles, and a couple of them didn't even bother participating. It was good to see a little strategy mixed in but I would've liked to see more intrigue with houses switching their support between candidates.The Race was ok, but I was hoping for better. Just the fact that they went directly from the Game to the Race threw me off. When they said everyone's going to the capitol and it's the Race, I thought they might've meant the race takes place at the capitol--after they get there. Instead it's just the dragons riding along together until the very end when there's a quick struggle at the finish line. I thought the Race could've been more exciting.The Truth trial didn't make really any sense to me. It was predictable in that you already know what each contestant was going to "see" once they walked into that dark room. The author didn't even let you know what would happen once they walked in there and yet I predicted it right away because it was so obvious. I was really hoping for something to surprise me in that. The fact that the Truth trial didn't "work" or do whatever it was supposed to do left us wondering what the purpose was and how it was actually supposed to go in the end. Should all of the contestants then walk out of that room? How do they know who would win? The priests were hush-hush about this and it left me annoyed that we had to read about their frantic reaction about the Truth not working when we don't know how it should've gone in the first place. Maybe the author didn't even know.I LOVED the dragons. Dragons are fun. I love learning their personalities and I wish we could've seen more of that.My favorite character was probably Vespir. Her love and appreciation and knowledge for dragons is something I can imagine myself relating to, and her empathy for fellow lowborns is valuable. Nothing really made her qualified to be empress, but I liked her as a character.Emilia was alright, but flighty. I would've liked to see even more of her knowledge on display and show how valuable that would be for an empress.Lucien irritated me like he irritated everyone else.  Ajax was consistently obnoxious and never learned or changed.Hyperia was psychotic from beginning to end. One thing that bothered me was that after her dragon died and she lost her soul, nothing really seemed to change. She was in shock for a few moments, but after that she was the same old psychotic Hyperia. It didn't seem right that she didn't change at all after the fact. Is that supposed to mean that she's so nuts that her soul didn't mean much? If another contestant got Cut, would they have become psychotic too? I just don't get it.The only other thing that bothered me about this book was the lame ending. It was a little too on-the-nose like The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. Two empresses and two emperors? Seriously? How's that going to work? Ajax, an emperor? Give me a break. He's the worst one for the job--which everyone acknowledges--and yet he still got it simply because it was all or nothing (?). The author couldn't figure out another way to choose a winner and still let the others live? What happens when none of them agree? They're going to have to hash a lot of these problems out and they should've discussed it before crowning themselves. Instead, they were like, hey, why don't we ALL get to rule? And then, SURE! With no further thought about how it would actually work. Good luck with that strategy. I'm wondering if this'll be a sticking point in the further books if the author writes them, which I assume she will with the slight cliffhanger at the end with Hyperia. But I'm honestly not sure I'll even buy it because $11 for Kindle book is way out of my ebook price range.
