The Paper Dragon (The Chain Breaker Book 5) Kindle Edition

by D.K. Holmberg (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 2,249 ratings

A dark power that attacks Yoran leads Gavin on a dangerous journey.

Gavin remains in Yoran while struggling to master his El’aras abilities. With the power of the strange ring that grants him even more power, he knows he has to learn control, otherwise he’ll destroy the city while trying to protect it.

When the hyadan, creatures of dark sorcery, come to the city, Gavin has to make a choice between staying to learn control over his power or helping Imogen. For him, that’s no choice at all.

Chasing the hyadan leads them deeper into Imogen’s past, and challenges Gavin more than he thought possible. The price of failure is greater than only one city. If he can’t learn to control his El’aras magic—and the power of the ring—the dark power will spread and destroy all magic in the world.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A good story, but...
    Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2022

    I really do like the story even though I get absolutely impatient with Gavin. His "Tristan paranoia" drives me to distraction. However, the "but" isn't about any of that.

    I'm generally not what one might refer to as a "grammar Nazi" since my grammar skills are lacking. Regardless, when it becomes awkward, taking away from the continuity it can be jarring to one that reads as I do. I totally immerse myself in the story and when there are the kind of errors where there are words missing it tends to take away from the story. There were enough errors in the editing that I had to say something. At one point, Imogen seems to be in 2 places at the same time.

    I know the author turns out a volume of stories for which it might be difficult to keep up. However, may I suggest a re-read, in its entirety, before you turn them out? I believe that would help a lot.

    All that being said, it's still a good story and well worth the read. Obviously I like the story. This is the fifth book in the series after all.

    I don't usually write reviews; I've always hated essay questions, but I truly do like this author! I have read every book of every series, on each and every wonderful, detailed world he has created! I love they way he can draw you into his worlds, holding you spellbound, unable to keep from turning that next page to see how things turn out! He brings every world to life with beautiful detail, but without dragging down the story. A true master of his craft! I cannot wait until Book 6 of the Chain Breaker series comes out. September is so far away! Ack!

    The story is only predictable as far as character growth is assured to keep the story line progressing. Garth is continually reaching new
