Dellia
David Scidmore
3/5
I have to start my review by saying that I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway (my first win ever so that was super exciting!) but I'm going to give an honest review because I'm bad at lying about my opinions on things. It was a lot more high fantasy than I had an originally anticipated, which doesn't make it bad, it just made it a lot harder for me to get though - also why it took me four months to get my review up which I'm very sorry about but I wanted to do it right. Jon is a physicist who accidentally gets transported to Dellia's realm, one with magic and dragons and things that Jon is truly unable to comprehend.
The stream of events was what really got me in this book. I know that this is a debut so I think that it was a great start, but I think that it had a weird flow to it. That's mostly why I couldn't get into the romance or the magic as much, it all felt weirdly convenient and not as deep as it was supposed to be. An otherworlder? Good thing we have a prophecy against one of them, but good thing Dellia has the morals for it, and good thing they're like falling in love with each other and that they never get injured during such major fight scenes. It was just not complex enough for that sequence of events.
Overall though, I liked it, I think that the rest of the series has potential and I'll definitely be on the lookout for it. Thank you for the opportunity to read and for sharing your characters and their journeys.
