Throne of the Dragon King

By: TJ Kelley

Narrated by: Bobby Garrison

Zachary James Harrison is a twenty-five-year-old, unmarried man. A bachelor's degree in business economics from a local State College. Zach, as he prefers to be called, has worked for a year as a junior stock analyst for a large investment firm on Wilshire Blvd in Los Angeles. He leads a humble life in a one-bedroom apartment in a questionable neighborhood. The age of his car and his bank balance are both half his age. His last girlfriend broke up with him not long ago. Zach chalked it up to the fact he was always broke, and not exactly a ladies' man.

When he wasn’t being browbeaten by old man Humphrey for being late, the quality of his work, or his messy desk, Zach was a geek, a video game playing wannabe writer of fantasy and sci-fi. Zach had seen every movie with a sword or elf in it since he was nine. He read every fantasy book he ever found, and wrote veraciously, never shying away from the many, many tropes of his chosen genre. He did have a small number of fans that read his self-publish books. To say it plainly, Zach was a nobody with a nothing life.

Zach learns the nothing life he leads is not the life he was born to live. When he finds himself in the medieval Kingdom of Longdale, he soon discovers that his new life is fraught with threats and dangers at every turn. Zach is told he is now the King. On his quest to find his castle and take his throne, he finds help from two rangers, a nine-foot valley orc, a young black dragon, and a beautiful assassin he falls in love with.

Follow Zach as he tries to navigate his new life and love.

Fantasy nerds will love!

I am a huge fantasy lover! And I just listened through this one, skeptical at first but WOW! Let me tell you, did not expect this to be so good and it was!

Not for me

This was not a fun read for me. There were very distracting heavy breathing noises between sentences, especially in the beginning. The mispronunciation of “enveloped” more than once was also annoying. The story itself was just not well written, using lots of repetitive phrasing and the descriptive imagery was seriously lacking.

Humor, adventure, and romance!

Throne of the Dragon King by TJ Kelley is a magical ride that keeps you hooked from start to finish! Bobby Garrison's narration brings Zach's journey to life, infusing each character with energy and charm. A perfect blend of humor, adventure, and romance, this audiobook had me smiling and eagerly anticipating each twist in Zach's newfound destiny!

Fantasy

Throne of the Dragon King by T. J. Kelley is an excellent adventure fantasy. Bobby Garrison is an excellent job with the narration. The story is interesting, entertaining, engaging, enjoyable, adventurous, action packed, romantic, funny and more. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. Highly recommend.
