The fact that this story uses multiple perspectives impressed me a bit, because it’s a different way of telling the story that can boost intrigue. Up until that point, I would have ranked this book 4 out of 5 stars easy! But with the dragon lore section, the writing started to tank, and the story got more convoluted and confusing. The addition of dragons worked for me, until the explanation of the dragon lore. Starting out, the book had good flow, an interesting use of multiple points of view, and a nice new spin on zombies. Please realize that I don’t give this ranking lightly. If you don’t remember my star ranking system, please refer back to my explanation in this bl o g. If they wish to stop the destruction of the human race, Celeste and her team will have to go to a mythical magical realm to do battle with elves and stop the dark elven queen from carrying out Ebon’s sinister plan.
When the zombies speak as Ebon, Celeste learns that Ebon’s evil plan involves destroying all humans and bringing back the non-human races. As the team fights the zombies, they learn that the zombies are activated by a hive mind through the control of Ebon. The team consists of several spies/mercenaries who distrust one another, and two guys who kind of seem like modern-day versions of Sherlock Holmes and Watson, but not nearly as useful. In the guise of Charlie, Celeste gathers a team to stop Ebon and the zombie apocalypse. In the present, someone has found Ebon’s old heart, which has caused the start of the curse and the zombie apocalypse.Ĭeleste now inhabits the human form of a man named Charlie.
Ebon had gone evil and destructive previously, but Celeste was able to give him part of her heart to heal his rage. Ebon is half of a binary pair of dragons, Ebon and Celeste, who had each agreed to watch over the world Ebon represents death and Celeste represents life. As the story progresses, we learn that the outbreak is the result of a curse placed on the world by an ancient dragon, Ebon, who has lost all hope for the world. The story is told through multiple perspectives, and early on it appears to be about a zombie outbreak as experienced by different individuals.
Today I am judging Adam Britt’s novel, Legacy of the Dragons.
