Book Review - Dawn of the Dragons

What a magnificent piece we have here. The Island of Ymph seems to be quite ignorant on the matters of the most Majestic creatures to ever step in the lands of Faêrun. I am glad we have some citizens such as the so called Draig Ravenstorm to open this up for the populace. However, the story seems a bit incomplete. Which is fine, nobody is perfect. I will then, with this humble review, clarify some missing points in the author's piece of art.
The two different paths taken by the Dragon Queen and the Platinum Dragon, took them to different results, being one more successful than other. While the Platinum Dragon remains timid and seems not to do much about greater affairs, barely supplying a few priests with spells, the Dragon Queen strives for what She believes. Free men and folks do not take Tyranny  kindly, neither does the Nemesis of Gods. Tiamat teaches us, mostly by examples, that deities of all creeds and from every pantheon are inherently tyrannical. They seek only power, at any cost, despite their honeyed words, and only Her is powerful enough to defy the gods and overthrow their despotic rule. She has proven her power, and earned the title of Nemesis of Gods by defeating the Utheric Pantheon. While the great Lord of the North Wind sits around with his beautiful ideals, Tiamat is working and growing on power, to free Herself and to free us all. The war mentioned by the author between those two powers, is merely a customary agenda for the Nemesis, while it is the main concern and losing battle of the Lord of the North Wind. The fate of all worshiped Gods we know is clear now that the Dark Lady turns Her attention to us, people of Faêrun. Never forget that Power demands respect, and by now, we can have an idea of which of his children Lord Io is most proud of.

With that said, I congratulate the author on the accurate history of facts, and look forward for a next edition. I strongly recommend reading his book.
