Book Review: Haakon: The Drogon Prince by T.J. Quinn

 

Book Description

The Slythonians are an alien race well know for capturing the best female breeders in the galaxy.

When women are abducted from Earth by alien slavers to be sold as sex slaves they think their lives are over.

Rosalind is acquired by Haakon, The Drogon Prince to be a breeder.

Join me and let's find out what happens. 


My Review

Rosalind and a few other human women are kidnapped from Earth by the Slythinians and sold to other aliens. Haakon is the King's brother so he is sent to take care of Rosalind and make her comfortable. When Haakon meets her he knows right away that she is his soulmate. The whole soulmate thing is not explained very well so I don't know what all it entails. But these aliens buy more kidnapped human females because they are compatible with them to find their soulmates. 

The storyline was good and this could have been great but I didn't feel a real connection between these two for most of the book. Rosalind starts to have feelings for Haakon who is a Drogon (think dragon shifter) and she asks him if he's her soulmate but he doesn't give her a straight answer which makes her leery of him after all she's been through after being kidnapped. 

The other thing that didn't make sense was after the very rushed ending, then we go back to what should have been in the middle of the book when Rosalind and the other women are on the kidnappers ship before she meets Haakon. That would have made more sense for that to be in the middle of the book as it was happening instead of at the end after the ending. I felt like I was reading chapters of this book out of order. 

I give this book 2 out of 5 stars.

  3. Someone didn't proofread this book before it was published, by the sound of it.

  4. What a mess. Out of order only works if there's a specific reason to take the story out of order. This sounds like a book that needs to cook a little longer (what I call it when the writer needed a bit more skill to pull of the story they were writing).

  5. I don't think I could get past a race called Slythinians because it's too close to Slytherins. Just a bunch of Draco Malfoys out there.

  8. Alien slavers and dragon shifters? That's a wild combination. It sounds like the book had potential, but the execution fell short. I hate it when that happens. Thanks for this honest review.

  13. The premise reminds me of Ice Planet Barbarians! Too bad this one wasn't a hit.
