Book Synopsis

Every dog has its day. Mine has its own realm.

I can tell when you’re lying. Every. Single. Time.

As a private investigator, being a walking talking lie detector is a useful skill but let's face it, it’s not normal. You'd think it would make my job way too easy, but even with my weird skills, I still haven't been able to track down my parents’ killers.

I'm hired to retrieve a lost heirloom, but I have no idea that the job is going to send me careening into a co-existing magical realm where my dog is a hell hound, and where there are werewolves and dragons and elves...

Some of whom will stop at nothing to hide their lies…

The Hook

As I sat down to start "Glimmer of Dragons" by Heather G Harris, I couldn't shake off one nagging concern. My deepest worry is that this book, being a short story, might just be a piece pulled out from one of the other novels because it didn't fit so well. I’ve seen this happen before, where such stories turn out to be teasers or fragments that could have easily been integrated into another book or even spread across multiple stories. While I remain hopeful that "Glimmer of Dragons" will stand strong on its own, I can't help but feel a bit apprehensive about its place within the broader narrative. Nonetheless, I am committed to reading through it, for you, my loyal readers, and we will discover together whether my concerns are justified.

After reading *Glimmer of Dragons* by Heather G. Harris, I find myself in complete agreement with my initial assessment. This book, which consists of a mere six chapters, felt incredibly short and almost like a teaser rather than a full-fledged story. My original thought that this narrative could have been seamlessly split into two separate books or, better yet, appended to the beginning of *Glimmer of the Others*, has only solidified. Its brevity hindered the potential depth and complexity that the storyline could have offered if given more room to breathe.

Despite its limited length, I must admit that *Glimmer of Dragons* still managed to serve as a decent entry point into the series. It provided enough intrigue and foundational elements to pique my interest. It's clear that Harris has a knack for world-building and character development, even in a condensed format. The book effectively wets the reader's palate, leaving one curious about the broader universe and wanting to delve deeper into the series. However, this very aspect also amplifies my disappointment in its shortness; it feels like a fleeting whisper of a much larger, untold story.

My primary contention lies in the book's length. It feels far too brief to stand alone as a substantial contribution to the series. I strongly believe that *Glimmer of Dragons* should have been incorporated into the beginning of *Glimmer of the Others*. This would not only have enriched the latter with additional context but also granted the former more narrative weight and significance. As it stands, *Glimmer of Dragons* feels like an appetizer without a main course, leaving the reader somewhat unsatisfied and craving more substance.

The potential for greatness is certainly present in Harris's storytelling, and *Glimmer of Dragons* does have moments that shine. However, the overall experience is overshadowed by the frustration of its brevity. It's a tantalizing glimpse into what could be an enthralling series, yet it falls short of delivering a fully immersive and fulfilling experience.

After finishing *Glimmer of Dragons* by Heather G. Harris, I feel the story is compelling and engaging, providing a clear glimpse into the rich world Harris is building. One notable aspect is that there wasn't much to be concerned about in terms of bad language or explicit inappropriate scenes, making it suitable for younger audiences. This made the book a pleasant, albeit rapid, read.

That said, the brief taste of the series we get through *Glimmer of Dragons* leaves me in suspense about the direction the rest of the series may take. At this point, it's hard to say whether the future books will maintain the same PG-rated content or if they will delve into more mature themes as the storyline progresses. The foundational elements laid out in this initial installment offer a promise of deeper, potentially more complex narratives in the subsequent books. For now, *Glimmer of Dragons* serves as an intriguing introduction that safely skirts around content concerns, making it accessible to a broad audience while leaving room for the series to evolve.
