I usually come to Urban Fantasy with fresh eyes. It’s not a subgenre about which I know every nook and cranny or can suss out every forebear and variation. My reading experience with urban fantasy is modest at best. Nice Dragons Finish Last is a foray into, as you might guess, urban fantasy, self-published under her “fantasy name” Rachel Aaron. Nice Dragons Finish Last moves Rachel Aaron, who has previously written secondary world fantasy (The Legend of Eli Monpress) and science fiction with a healthy dose of romance (the Devi Morris books under her pseudonym Rachel Bach), into new territory. Oh, and some high powered mobsters following Marci from Sin City…ĭo Nice Dragons Finish Last? If Julius is not careful, he’ll just be finished.
Especially given given the rogue spirits, other dragons and the rest of the magical nastiness the former Motor City can throw at them. But a mage on the run from Las Vegas with secrets of her own might be as much the answer to his problems as he is to hers. So when Julius gets booted from the dragon’s lair to the center of magical activity on Earth - the ruins of Detroit - and trapped into his human form with a one month time limit to prove himself, Julius is under the gun to adapt or die. Julius is not the heartless and ambitiously machiavellian dragon his brothers and sisters are, much to the disappointment of Mother. Dragons are not trusted at all and are often actively hunted - for good reason - by anyone and anything else. He’s a dragon from a powerful and fecund dragon clan on a near-future Earth where the Magic Has Returned.
