Kobe's Book Review on Dragons (that was meant to be an information report!)

Kobe was working on an information report on dragons BUT... he accidentally wrote a book review instead! Here it is:

Marduck and Tiamat and how the earth was formed

Introduce

This is the 1st book of dragons, gods and warriors in this series .You will some gross creatures and I hope you enjoy this story made nearly 4,ooo years ago starting from the nothing.

The gods and the dragons

First there was nothing not even Earth. Only Apsu and Tiamat. Tiamat was a dragon. She had the power of salt- water and chaos. Marduck was the most powerful god of all times. Between Marduck and Apsu together contained seeds.
Ea was a female god, she had the power to foresee the future.

The death of Apsu

Apsu decided to destroy Ea. Obviously Ea knew as she could foresee future. So Ea saved herself by tying him up and killing him. Tiamat was furious when he heard the news, so she decided to kill Ea. Ea held a meeting of other gods. They asked Marduck, he said; “Yes, but on one condition. If I win I will be lord over all universe”. So they both set up a battle.

WARNING
I recommend at this part that if you don’t like injury don’t read on unless you want this book

The battle

Marduck armed himself with a net and a club, a bow that fired thunderbolt arrows. He rode a chariot , pulled by four angry horses with winds to accompany them.

Ea made a bunch of horrible monsters including Demon lions, Savage dogs, Scorpion men and eleven dragons.

The battle began:

My favourite part is this part when…

Marduck sent one of his winds inside her, captured the monsters with his net and fired a bow through her mouth which blew her jaws apart and Ea split in half.
With one half he made heaven with the other half he made Earth.

The Earth is almost there

The Earth is not fully formed yet. Read more books to find out how the Earth was fully formed.

The next 2 books

Indra and Vritra and how the water came to Earth
Heracls and Hydra.

Price: $2.50
I recommend this book to people that love war.
Age: 8 or over
