My Opinion

This book surprised me in a good way. I really wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did as I'm not really into the whole dragon/fantasy side of things. This book had a great mystery element at the start of it which I loved as I couldn't figure it out and even though I knew dragons would come into it at some point I enjoyed the way the sisters discovered them. As well as this the story line was solid and it was evident everything had been planned out.

The book was fast paced and engaging, it kept me wanting to read on. I also loved the riddles and thought they were an excellent edition to the book that made it all the more interesting to read. It was like you were trying to solve the puzzle as well as the girls. I think I enjoyed this book because it wasn't featured totally on dragons and the fantasy creature until the end, they came in and out when needed and were kept simple. My favourite was definitely Zen (probably because I imagine him as cuter than the rest).

One thing I wasn't so keen on was how the story developed towards the ending. For me it got a little too far fetched in the fantasy world and the creatures got wider. The other thing was there were quite a few errors with punctuation. These mainly came in the form of speech marks facing the wrong way or not joining on. I know these are only small things but they take away from the overall finish of the book and if corrected would make it look more professional.

Overall The Chronicles of the Dragon sisters was a surprisingly enjoyable read that kept me hooked. There were a few minor issues with punctuation but nothing major. I would recommend this to mystery/fantasy lovers.

About the Author

Peter A. J. Quatrine is a British-born author. He grew up - and continues to live - in East London.

The road to the written word was not an easy one; as a child, Peter was diagnosed with dyslexia and mild Asperger - school was an uphill battle that, nevertheless, he seemed determined to conquer. Finding ways to adapt to printed language, Peter was soon pilfering the finest of novels from the shelves of his parents and elder sister (even if some of the books were for a university course, and said sister was wondering where her volume of Homer's 'The Iliad' had disappeared to before a seminar!)

Eventually, having traversed the plains of mandatory schooling, Peter himself moved onto the wider world of University. The degree: Games Design and Story Development. The aim: to capitalise on his secondary passion of computer games (you name it - he probably has it!) The place: University of East London's Docklands campus. During this time, Peter was involved in many presentations and talks about special educational needs and the importance of inclusion for such students and adults. It was also around this time that his idea for a story began its permutations in his mind - 'The Chronicles of the Dragon Sisters' was in its making.

After much slogging and sleepless nights, the publishing pathway was in sight...back and forth the script went - additions, subtractions and many a re-working formed the backbone of the first novel. The climate however rendered the story not quite ready for the current market - so instead, plan B was to kick in. As much as the modern world may have its flaws, its technology is endless; and so the digital copy was born.

Peter's debut novel, 'The Chronicles of the Dragon Sisters' has a growing fan-base, and is out now, worldwide, on the Amazon Kindle store.
