There Be Dragons is a gut-wrenching kind of tale. It mixes classic themes of war with stories of gore and creatures. I would say that it was incredibly captivating and kept me focused on what was going to happen next. I love that it takes places kind of back in the day and I think the story was really strengthened by that context. Lots of important things get tossed like honor, love, danger, patriotism. Anyone reading will get a lot out of this book - besides the horror.Jacobs, Lynch, and Stephens are all powerful characters. The author, Peter Hallett, really allowed them to grow. I appreciate the thoughtfulness that went into writing in such a high-stakes way. There Be Dragons really stands out the action/adventure genre, not to mention that anyone interested in horror/mystery is going to get a huge treat!
