Book Rating

The start of a good, long series (0 more)

A Magisterial Read

This first book came free when I pre ordered another book, and at first, I paid it no attention. One day, I found it, and I have not looked back.
The series gives something different in each book, and the first gives all the info to the world, without playing the excessive exposition game.
This universe is set in the Nepolionic war, but in this reality, alongside the Marines and Navy, there is also the Arial Corp, where the men fight from the back of massive dragons!
They have a hyerachy on bord, with captains bonded strongly with their dragons, who are themselves, strong characters.
There is a rich mythology within this series, and includes topics like political strife, religion, slavery and historical events, adapted to include it's scaly new additions.
Both a great read for fantasy and history lovers alike, give this book a go, and see if you read all 9.

Two things on my mind this evening, well ok, three if you include, “‘sup, fam?”

1) so, occasionally during daily missions, the image moves and I accidentally rate something I haven’t experienced. How do we rectify that? Also, it would be nice perhaps to have the option to cycle through once more? Just in case we made a mistake. (To be clear, I know how to change my rating. But not how to select, “I haven’t seen this” after a rating has been clicked by accident. And once it’s done it’s done, forever skewing reviews in the middle range.)

2) I am not getting orb notifications from this group. Any ideas why? I don’t want general new topic notifs, but for this orb I wanna chime in where I could help. But unless I participated earlier, I don’t know when new topics come in. Soooo, haaalp?

And Q) y’all are beautiful and have a great night/day/millenium.

To help with the notifications - have you double-checked whether you have the notifications turned on for the Orb? (Three Dots in the top right corner, then 'Notification Settings'). If you have it on, but you still aren't receiving notifications, it might be because you have the 'Posts from Users you follow' setting selected and you arent following certain members of the orb - Let me know how you get on with this! :)
