The first thing that struck me about Garrett Willigins was: he has a dragon—a dragon named Merle? Mmm….  And he talks, too!The pair was kind of like an odd couple, like the roommates on the comic strip, "The Duplex", and the two were set in a scene straight from King Arthur’s court. Knights, kings, goblins, and princesses are all things you’ll expect to find in this book.I’m not that much into fantasy, but what encouraged me to try this book was that it dabbled in the mystery genre, even though I couldn’t figure out why there would be a private investigator in King Arthur’s court when they had wizards to do the bidding. This story presented a light-hearted dialogue with humorous quips; however, my interest was deterred by the complexity of the plot. There also may have been a few too many characters to keep track of. Percy, Pacorro, Don Fergani, Omik, Kaxaun—who can remember these? If I can’t say the name, I usually don’t remember it.And I honestly couldn't quite understand the need to work at a fisherman's dock.I trudged on until about a quarter of the way before I stopped all together. I just didn't get it.
