Rylae's Storm

Dragons be damned, indeed!! This interesting mix of genres makes for a very fun read! This well-written fantasy science fiction thriller takes you on a fascinating journey a creatively imagined universe. We have elves, goblins and space exploration, oh my! If you are looking for a new take on space opera, this is the book (and series) for you. This complex whodunnit takes elements from science fiction and fantasy and weaves them seamlessly together. I instantly connected with the main character and her challenges. All of the characters are well rounded, with believable storylines. S.T. Xavier has created a fun, well thought out universe. I love the use of magic as technology. And this book has given me a whole new category of insults: I might have to use ‘you armor-licking dragon humper’ as an insult myself sometime. The author’s vivid imagery and powers of description really bring the story and characters to life. Once I started reading I didn’t want to stop. I can’t wait to read more from this very talented and imaginative author. I highly recommend this book. I’m really looking forward to reading the next story in the Ugly Dirt Box Universe series.
