Thanks for the review. This one sounds like a really interesting futuristic novel that also deals with the lives of regular people in difficult situations.

Sounds like a good nightmare being in the year 2054 and there is no technology or gadgets, hell I wonder how we survived before technology got to what it is today.

Thanks for the review. The switching of the writing in tenses between the different characters sounds intriguing. I am kind of curious as to why the author came up with the title using dragons since there was no mention in the review, and it sounds like none in the book what so ever. I am glad to see that you gave it 4 stars though!

Although I am not a fan of Sci-Fi/Fantasy books, something about this one gets me! I think it sounds super interesting, and I can't wait to see if Willow fixes Unitime. Also, I don't think I've read a book of this style before where the author switches tenses...sounds engaging! I think I'm going to purchase A Book Without Dragons...thank you for your helpful review! :-)

This book seems like a ton of fun. Thanks for the review! That was a cool analysis on the use of tenses, I'm curious if I'll feel like it paid off. I was enjoying it in the preview. The book seems like it's got a witty, Welcome to Nightvale-esque vibe if anyone else has listened to that.

A world without technology? I can last a day or two, other than that... Well, let's just say it'll be a little difficult. I'd love to read Olivia's perspective regarding that matter. This book sounds just for me from the enthralling plot to the switching of tenses. Thanks for this futuristic review!
