[QUOTE="Henadic Theologian, post: 9572115, member: 7030526"] It's technically called the blurb, and it goes on the back of the book, it's not a teaser which would say a small part of the book, something with action most likely. A blurb it's basically the sales pitch that gives you an idea of what the book is about, it's job is to intrigue and hook you so you want to read more. This blurb doesn't do that, it just sums up the last book and says their going to knew Realms. No mention of goals, enemies, or what Realms they are visiting, it's completely hookless. Look at Spelljammers Memories Wake's blurb for example. Hooks to intrigue you galore and give you at least a starting idea about what the novel is about. And I'm not mad, just annoyed. I mean the title tells me more about the books story then the blurb. Dealing with Dragons tells me there is somekind of deal being made with Dragons. It's not killing Dragons or Battling Dragons or defying Dragons, it's Dealing With Dragons. You add in the change to Purple Dragon Knight and this seems very likely to be about whatever occurs to create the alliance between Purple Dragon Knights and Amethyst Dragons. I also think Purple Dragon Knights are one of the new factions in FRPG. The Fallbacks even have a fighter in the party. But the blurb gives no hints to anything. You got to piece together from a verity of things. [/QUOTE]
