Story Bundle: Dragons & Darkness

Dr. Drib · 09-04-2015, 06:30 AM

Has anyone purchased this (to include the Bonus set)?

I'm wondering if the selection is any good, since I'm not really familiar with almost all of those authors.

There's about 20 days left, so there's no hurry.

Well, since nobody's given you the answer you're looking for, I guess I can give you my partial one.

I've read books by two of the bonus authors, but not the specific books in the bundle.

Megg Jensen's Cloud Prophet trilogy was really fun to read, despite involving a little more teenage angst than I'd prefer. I just noticed that The Eloh Saga, which is Cloud Prophet and Swarm trilogies together, is on sale for $.99 right now and is a quarter of what I paid just for the one trilogy.

I started reading Blood of Requiem by Daniel Arenson, but didn't finish it. He started killing characters after I was emotionally invested in them, which isn't to my taste. I've been meaning to read Moth to see if it's different, but haven't yet.

I haven't read any of these books yet although several are in my TBR. I've read other works by Manning, Arenson, and Megg Jensen and I really liked what I read (which is why I have their works from this collection already in my TBR). I agree with Difflugia about Blood of Requiem, but most of the other books I've read from the Requiem world were not like this (Blood of Requiem was timed in a more tragic part of the series).

Actually I just noticed that Dragonvein is part of the Godling Chronicles. I have read the first three books of the Godling Chronicles (which includes this one) as a combined "book" and really enjoyed it.

Thanks. That's good to know. I'll have to give some more of his books a shot.

Thank you for your responses.

I'm still debating on getting the whole set of books for only $12.00.
