The Story of Owen by Emily Kate Johnston
3.0
3 stars. So this book is about dragon slayers in modern day Canada. Yep, you read that right! I was immediately intrigued after reading the first sentence and seeing that the narrative was very sarcastic.
While the plot of this book sounded very interesting to me, the book was pretty slow at times. The characters weren't completely but almost flat; there was no character development. That made it hard to connect with and care for the characters! The way it was written was very different too, but it didn't work for me. The story felt almost choppy at times. Overall this was a quick, quirky read, but I don't think I'll be picking up the next book! The main reason I read this is for the booktubeathon challenge: read a book by an author with the same first letter of your last name. Success!
