Darth Pedant
Darth Pedant rated it 7 years ago
According to George R.R. Martin, this book is “like a cross between Jurassic Park and Game of Thrones.” If that’s really the case and not something Martin pulled out of the air without reading the book, maybe I should take A Song of Ice and Fire off my TBR. Milán’s verbose writing style grated on ...

Warning: this book includes on-page rape and detailed descriptions of violence. Many characters die.In the world of Paradise, humans exist alongside dinosaurs. The tame (or, in some cases, relatively tame) dinosaurs are treated much like our pets and livestock. People breed and train dinosaurs for h...

Camacho's Caballeros get sent to look after various resources of their employer following rumours they will be attacked by rogue DCMS units.Not a lot of mech action in this one, the majority of the book is discussions within the Caballeros and with the natives who don't think they should be there.

O, Dinosaur Lords, how much I was looking forward to you! The idea of combining knights and dinosaurs just sounded so great, it had to be great.

When the women talk to each other, they do not talk about men.And yet, there ...

Man alive, this was TERRIBLE. It wasn't the premise, just the writing. I gave up about fifty pages into it.

I first became aware of The Dinosaur Lords back in November of last year. Once I got wind from Victor Milán that ARCs were appearing in the wild, I began (politely) begging for an ARC in April of this year - and Tor Books were quick to oblige. As you can guess, I pretty much devoured it the week tha...

Cassie Stuthorn is a foot-slogging Scout for Camacho's Caballeros mercenary regiment. Because she's the main character in this book, there isn't a lot of mech action, concentrating on what made her what she is.Her backstory is a bit trite, and has been done before, but the supporting characters help...
