Part-Time Gods

De: Rachel Aaron

Narrado por: Emily Woo Zeller

Life in the magical mess of the Detroit Free Zone is never easy. When you’re laboring under the curse of a certain prideful, overbearing dragon, it can be down right impossible.

My name is Opal Yong-ae, and I’m a Cleaner. At least, I used to be. Thanks to the supernatural bad luck that turns everything I do against me, these days I’m more of a walking disaster. Getting rid of this curse is the only way to get my life back. Unfortunately, dragon magic is every bit as sneaky and deadly as the monsters behind it, and just as hard to beat.

But I’ve never been one to take her doom at face value. Cornered doesn’t mean defeated, and in an awakened city that rules herself, dragons are no longer the biggest powers around.

I need a threequel immediately

Warning upfront, this has a cliffhanger ending. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, but I was basically in mental torture for the last 3 hours of the book afraid things wouldn't go the way I wanted, and then unfortunately I got to work with approximately 58 minutes left and was thus tortured all day stuck in the middle of a cliffhanger being made. I'm left hoping Rachel Aaron can write fast - after all book 1 came out in January and this sequel came out in late June, so maybe by Christmas the cliffhanger will be resolved? This book was a joy to read despite the mental anguish, and features a few brief cameos from the Heartstrikers series that made me very happy. The prologue is from the POV of Opal's dad, the Dragon of Korea, which I felt really helped shine a light on the nature of their relationship from a different angle. Absolutely read this book....but maybe wait until the third book comes out and maybe it wont be as painful? The story that is being set up for the next book looks like it will be really cool :)

Not as good as the first

I really enjoyed the first DFZ book and jumped on this one while it was on sale. But this one isn’t as good. I liked Opal in the first book. She was gutsy, street smart, and driven. In this one, she’s stupid. I won’t spoil it, but seriously, someone as smart as Opal who’s lived with a dragon all her life, should recognize there is no such thing as coincidence. I understand she’s backed into a corner and the author does a fair job of driving home how desperate she is, but her choices are just stupid. Even worse for me, this is too much of a cliffhanger. I hate those with a passion. I haven’t decided yet it I want to continue the series. Honestly the next book sounds awesome. I’m just worried it will feature stupid Opal instead of smart Opal.

hu

don't get me wrong I love this book I really really do but the ending didn't make sense so I don't know what happened to her or her dad if her dad died and I know there isn't a book 3 so what the hell

It was good, but...

waaaaay too much explaining things and Opal describing every wallpaper in the city. towards the end it got really really good but I do not care about her moaning for the millionth time about her heels. Hopefully the next book is less explainy! Otherwise an amaizing read!

Great audio book!

I thought it was a unique spin on Magic and fantasy. I thought the narrator did an excellent job. I'm excited for the new book to come out.
