Historia
Dragons are common in the backwater kingdom of Bellemontagne, coming in sizes from mouse-like vermin all the way up to castle-smashing monsters. Gaius Aurelius Constantine Heliogabalus Thrax (who would much rather people call him Robert) has recently inherited his deceased dad’s job as a dragon catcher/exterminator, a career he detests with all his heart in part because he likes dragons, feeling a kinship with them, but mainly because his dream has always been the impossible one of transcending his humble origin to someday become a prince’s valet.

A fun read, and slightly frustrating listen.

I don't want to be harsh or scathing, as we are all learning and improving day by day. However, this title was performed in a way in which I might assume one who isn't fluent in reading aloud might go about it.
The author uses an abundance of flowery, descriptive language throughout, but the delivery is halting and awkward in a good majority of the story throughout which mispronunciations are sprinkled (Had to pause when I heard a unique pronunciation of "ebon".)
There are moments where it seems like a line of text ended mid-sentence and the reader paused and restarted at the next line rather than looking ahead and finishing the thought in one breath.
For most things this was incredibly distracting, but I must admit that it always made me smile when a certain crown prince had any dialogue - the unsure manner of speaking was spectacularly fitting to his character and very entertaining.
All in all a nice listen if you enjoy the author's works and/or dragons as I do. I never write reviews, but I felt compelled to report the aspects of this performance that made my eye twitch!
