Narrator: 5+ stars. Fantastic job. Prentice Onayemi brought this story to life.
Story: 4.75 Stars
Overall: 5 Stars

The Rage of Dragons is a gut-wrenching, African-inspired story filled with non-stop action, a diverse cast of characters, and an unquenchable thirst for revenge.
From the exceptional performance of the narrator to the gripping story being told, I found this book so hard to put down. So much so, that I almost read it in one sitting. These characters are put through and endless battle with no sign of reprieve.
It does have pieces of what lovers of this genre would expect in an epic fantasy, however, Evan Winter has managed to create a story unlike any I have read.
I have had these books on my shelf for FAR TOO LONG and I am so happy I decided now was a good time to experience this amazing journey.
Now if you'll excuse me, I am off to reach for book two, The Fires of Vengeance, from my bookshelf and dive back in.

This book opens with the “good guys” finding an island to be their new home, discovering it is already inhabited by “savages ” (indigenous people) and then using dragons to commit mass genocide so they can live there.

There were a lot of things that I didn’t like about the book, but the frenetic pacing broke me out of a reading slump I’ve been in for a few months, so I appreciate it for what it is.
