The White Dragon - Chapter Fifteen

Last time, Ms. McCaffrey used the really annoying and lazy plot device of having a character almost die so that other characters realize how much they love him and make up with him without him ever having to apologize for being a fucking asshole.

Convenient.

This time, we're back to Jaxom. And it's funny, I like a lot of this book more than Dragonquest, but I miss how Dragonquest had ONE protagonist out of two that I could actually stand. Jaxom vs. Robinton is like trying to decide whether we'd prefer to get a finger broken or lose a tooth.

In a better timeline, this book would be about Lessa. F'lar can stay too. )
