The first book starts with Ramona age 4 and each subsequent book she is a year older. Basically this series follows the growth of a precocious little girl, named Ramona, and all her little innocent escapades as she grows up. About the story itself.I never read these books as a child so was unfamiliar with them when I started. My wife was also engrossed and for the first time on that vacation I was able to experience a bit of quiet, the whole family quietly listened to the antics of Ramona and enjoyed her little story. What a great choice!!! My 5 year old daughter was engrossed by this story and did not speak a peep for 6 hours straight as we drove the last 400 miles from Northern Cali to Washington. While on vacation and driving the length of California back up from San Diego I downloaded this book for my family to listen to as we drove the long slog of I5. You could literally open the book at any page and within seconds know who’s point of view it is. They all varied with their emotions and actions and stand apart from each other. From the start, I was able to differentiate these distinctive characters. Cluess makes sure that every single one of her characters are completely different so that doesn’t happen. I’m no longer able to tell them apart and end up getting frustrated. From past experience, multiple points of views start bleeding into each other and the character’s personalities start blending. When I first saw that House of Dragons was told from five different points of views, I became a little concerned. Suddenly the younger siblings are being chosen, and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop it. It’s the same every single time, until now. The winner becomes the new Emperor or Empress and they rule successfully until their passing, where the cycle restarts. Normally, when the Emperor of Etrusia passes away, the Great Dragon calls the eldest child from each of the five Houses to compete in the Trials with their respective dragon. In HOUSE OF DRAGONS, Jessica Cluess delivers a non-stop thrill ride that dives deep into politics and breathes life into action-packed scenes. |
