I can't lie, I have the biggest urge to boot up OG God of War and start fading them again.

YouTube video by History Hit The Real History Behind Medusa | Greek Mythology

When her actual intended purpose, was to protect, and in fact not cause harm to anyone.

As time went on different versions of the Mythology to suit the need of the era were created, a lot of them falling back on making her look like a terrible monster.

then uses the head as a weapon of mass destruction...

So, Poseidon decided that he could have sex with any female he wanted, he chose - and SA'd Medusa.

Athena, instead of doing the right thing, sends Perseus to deal with Medusa, who he then unalives in her sleep with every single assist from the Gods...

I’m really tryna keep it spoiler free, so as much as it sounds like I have no idea what i’m on about, its for the better if you want to read #TheRageOfDragons.

Also, yes, in both the prologue and this chapter, Dragons become a heavy factor 🔥

Taking a small (like tiny) step away from the gore to describe a soured rescue mission, by the end of the chapter the magical elements are delved into a little more and the ‘Gifted’s’ power of Enervation is explained, which leads to a super gnarly description of ‘being dragged to the Underworld’.

The characters introduced have their World turned upside down as the warring nations/tribes clash when a raid occurs, its a straightforward affair which is setting the stage for a fight of survival especially now as a new Queen is being appointed.

This chapter introduces what looks to be the MC.

Didn’t get to read like I would have liked during the week, so after Kyra went to bed I grabbed my book and got comfy.

The pacing is relentless, Chapter 1 picks up 186 Cycles (i’m assuming that’s years) after the prologue.

Really looking forward to getting into the rest of the book. That opening was actually insane (in my very new to fantasy books opinion).

The detailed gore had me actually eeking at some of the descriptions but it doesn’t use that as merely shock value, its painting a very vivid picture that brings the setting to life and allows a book noob like me to understand the flow of the event taking place as well as imagining the sequences.

Ok so ‘The Rage of Dragons’ prologue was straight gas. 23 pages long of detailed battle scenario that establishes where the book is heading overall and introduces multiple concepts regarding Royal hierarchy, roles within tribes and creatures.

Incoming brief, limited word accounts of what i’m about to read.

Anyway… maybe i’ll try use this platform for more things like this to see how often I can hold myself accountable when it comes to giving myself the gratitude of escapism and creativity.

I want to at least try something that I wouldn’t normally gravitate towards, and thats the Fantasy genre.

So based off one video from a content creator just talking general shop about reading then seeing the comments, I saw this book recommended, looked it up and saw mainly positive reviews.

I started 5 books, finished 1 🫣

So first off, last year I attempted to read more, it didn’t work out as well as I wanted it to. Like many of my interests/habits, I have issues finishing things I start.

I’m a work in everlasting process.

I definitely read more, but I most certainly could have done better.

Going to try and use this account to show what i’m getting into that isn’t the norm of games, rants, and liking thirst traps.

Wish me luck.
