Review: Interesting concept, should never have been released.

The idea of enmity between wizards and dragons, and a protagonist stuck in the middle is a nicely formed thought. That is as far as this book gets. The pros are TERRIBLE. You can understand what the author WANTS to say, but it looks like it was written in one long sitting, and NEVER edited or revised. There are constant errors, the perspective constantly shift between first and third person randomly, and all thoughts are not separated from normal text with quotation marks or by being italicized, so the reader has the disorienting moment where he or she has to determine whether the part they are reading is a narration or one of Angel's thoughts. Throw on top of this that the characters tend to spout all of their thoughts and learn everything nigh instantaneously without explaining the process, and you have what looks like a VERY VERY rough first draft of what might, PERHAPS, be a good novel one day. If it was streamlined, cleaned up, edited, and had some actual detail added, then this book could be quality. As it is, this book is not worth .99$ let alone the almost 8$ i had to pay for it. I hope this was self published, because if an actual publishing company allowed this travesty, then they have not only done a disservice to this author by not telling him to finish his work, which could then be a nice piece, but also harmed the fantasy genre irrevocably for everyone who reads this. Give the author a year to fix it, and I would probably love the story, as is.... AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE!
