I really enjoyed this book. I love the Orcs and how they have to go and find the elves. I don't know which one I want to root for the most. Thank you for sharing your story. ( )

I found this story to be simple, but somewhat enjoyable. I was very interested in the idea that this is a fantasy plot that takes place in a more modern time, with cars and television. It also isn't often that elves are the bad guys and orcs are the better of the two.

The dragon doesn't really have much of a point in this book, so if you're picking this up because it has a Time Dragon in it, don't bother. Other than being a plot point, like the gold at the end of the rainbow that everyone wants, but no one sees, there's hardly a dragon to be seen. It must be mentioned too that there's hardly an ending to be seen. Please don't expect an end to this plot, because the final words state simply that this story ends until the next one is written. Basically, everything that has happened up to that point is simply suspended until further notice.

The copy I was sent (under the condition that I would write an honest review) was unfortunately full of errors, which I would hope can be corrected in later versions to make the flow of the book a little easier on the eye. There were also some descriptions or phrases which seemed overly complex and overly used to be considered honestly creative. I loved the ideas behind the plot, such as a girl who can have conversations with her pets and other animals, but there needed to be some more development and editing to make this work the truly interesting read that it could have been.

Note: Though this book was a free gift from the author, the content of my review was in no way influenced by the gifting. The book speaks for itself and my review would have been worded just this way even if I'd gone out and bought it. I also give bonus points for Text To Speech enabling on Kindle format.... but that also wasn't a factor in the above review. ( )

I read the Kindle edition of Aaron& Keja: Time Dragon. I thought it was very interesting reading this story with the Orcs as the "good guys" and Elves the "bad guys". It was a very different approach to the classic fantasy literary races. I enjoyed the story, it did have a great plot, and I thought the characters were well developed. However, I found the spelling and grammatical errors very distracting. Also, the flow of the story seemed choppy, especially near the beginning. The sentences were short and very simple - maybe this was intentional for younger readers' ease of reading. I would like to read more from this author, but please proofread! Without the errors, I would have given the book 4 stars. ( )

In a different realm than Earth, where elves and orcs are engaged in a war and humans are treated like slaves, an evil ruler Lord Ky'debaul finds killing a dragon the only way for his diminishing power to return. Because the laws prevent him from killing a dragon in his realm, he send the dragon to Earth. When orcs learn of this they send three powerful orcs to look for the dragon and return it to its world. There comes Aaron, a special girl that can communicate with animals, her dog and cat Keja and Chancy, and her human friends Marshall and Jurgith. When kidnapped by the elves to help them find the dragon they are thrust into a world of fantasy with surprising allies ( the Orcs) and dangerous enemies. Overall this was a great story although the book had many grammatical errors. The errors though don't prevent the reader from being able to understand what is going on, so they aren't that hurtful. I really enjoyed it because of the great plot and characters and would read a next book to the series if it exists. ( )

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a review.

An elven sorcerer, finding his powers on the wane, decides that the only way to restore his abilities is to kill a rare silver dragon known as a Time Dragon. However, since law prevents him from harming a dragon, he opens a rift between worlds and forces one to flee to another world, one where he may kill without fear of reprisal. A small band of Orcs, learning of his plan and vowing to stop him, follow the sorcerer and dragon into the new world. They've heard stories of a human who is destined to play a role in the fate of the Time Dragon. The story is solid and brimming with possibility. The characters are fascinating and I would love to see them fleshed out a bit more. With a bit of reworking and some grammatical correction from a good editor, this could be a dynamite series. I look forward to reading more from this author. ( )
