Description
Sure, you think you know the story of the fearsome red dragon, Dragonia. How it terrorized the village of Skendrick until a brave band of heroes answered the noble villagers' call for aid. How nothing could stop those courageous souls from facing down the dragon. How they emerged victorious and laden with treasure. But, even in a world filled with epic adventures and tales of derring-do, where dragons, goblins, and unlicensed prestidigitators run amok, legendary heroes don't always know what they're doing. Sometimes they're clueless. Sometimes beleaguered townsfolk are more hapless than helpless. And orcs? They're not always assholes, and sometimes they don't actually want to eat your children.
Heloise the Bard, Erithea's most renowned storyteller (at least, to hear her tell it), is here to set the record straight. See, it turns out adventuring isn't easy, and true heroism is as rare as an articulate villager. Having spent decades propagating this particular myth (which, incidentally, she wrote), she finally able to tell the real story - for which she just so happened to have a front-row seat. Welcome to Erithea. I hope you brought a change of undergarments - things are going to get messy.

Most Annoying Authorial Voice...
I blame the editor(s). There was an attempt in this story to be clever and sassy and sharp-witted. The issue with attempts at sharp-wittedness is when you try to sharpen for too long. In this case, the experience ends up being akin to being beaten over the head with quip after quip until it becomes both not fun and not funny.
Maybe the author had to pad out the story a bit, fill more pages, and therefore decided to go off on explanations for nearly every allusion made to fill space. Or the author felt it was fun to create tedious scenes and conversations at nearly every turn and was not reigned in appropriately. Either way, I blame the editor(s).
Overall, it's an enjoyable enough story. It would be at least 1/3 shorter if it was a *bit* less pedantic with quabbles. Then again, if the intention was to create some of the most annoying characters I have ever experienced (not ones I even felt overly invested in, as I regularly was hoping for the party members and particularly the bard to die off).
The narrator of the book (Haley Catherine) did a fantastic job and raises the overall score through her performance alone.
