YMMV / The Dragon Business

Go To

  • Slow-Paced Beginning: The first several chapters of the second book feature two shorter adventures unrelated to the promised heroic "Scooby-Doo" Hoax, then take several more chapters to introduce the characters and setting related to that plotline. This then gets lampshaded.
    Cullin: I'm not finished yet. That was merely an introductory adventure, a hook to remind readers of beloved characters and provide setup for the main tale.
    Prince Maurice: You mean like a prologue? Most people skip prologues.
    Cullin: That is why I didn't call it a prologue.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: The manic depressive alcoholic two-headed dragon who teams up with Cullin for a quest in Skeleton in the Closet is only mentioned in the first chapter as part of an Unreliable Narrator's Tall Tale that is heavily implied to have never actually happened and may not even be a real character.
