Dreoteth, a self-published book by Danielle Bourdon, is a dark fantasy, or perhaps fantastical horror about Humans and the creatures that prey on them. The author has a struggle from the start. Bourdon chose to have a very unlikeable main character, in that he hates humans and humanity, and most importantly, eats them. This is quite a hurdle. Most protagonists are likable or at least someone that we as the reader can identify with. This is especially important in books with fantastical settings because we need someone to help us slide into this new world. This is where Bourdon shows us her first trick. Our main character is himself a foreigner to the strange land, so the explanations feel natural and there's no sudden information dumps. We are discovering with Dreoteth. Also, if he isn't necessarily likable, Dreoteth is at least interesting, and the way his character continues to change throughout the novel is fascinating. It felt very fresh to me. There are so many books about the things that go bump in the night, and this one manages pull a new, vibrant thread into that tapestry. This is not a slasher flick that dwells on the perversions of the monster. This is a story about the trials of a predator, it's about the hunt and about the kill, without remorse, but also without cruelty. There were a few editing problems, but otherwise this is a solid book and I highly recommend it. I especially recommend it to people who like deconstructions of fantasy tropes, dragons, fans of horror and anyone tired of books with political intrigue(it's nice but you need a break sometimes!). I couldn't put it down, which you could probably guess from the fact that I finished my last book yesterday! Check out my other reviews at my blog
