Our Review

The Setup

Something ancient stirs inside an ordinary man when a hidden supernatural world suddenly rips him from his mundane life. Dragon’s Justice opens with a premise you have seen before — dormant powers, a beast within, a secret society lurking beneath everyday reality — but Sentar executes the opening hook with enough confidence to keep you turning pages. Our protagonist is thrown into the deep end of werewolf pack politics and elven territorial disputes before he can even process what he is.

The real draw here is the company he keeps. A dark elf vampiress and a kitsune assassin become his early companions, and the dynamic between them feels refreshingly organic rather than forced. This is not a book where women throw themselves at the MC because the plot demands it. The relationships develop slowly, through shared danger and genuinely witty back-and-forth dialogue.

What Works

The dialogue is the star of the show. Sentar writes banter that actually lands, which is rarer than it should be in this genre. The conversations between the MC and his companions have a natural rhythm — funny without trying too hard, flirtatious without being cringe. If you have read enough harem fantasy books where every woman speaks with the same voice, you will appreciate how distinct each character feels here.

The world-building layers nicely on top of a recognizable urban fantasy framework. Werewolf packs operate with political intrigue, elven duels carry real stakes, and the supernatural underworld has enough texture to sustain a longer series. The action sequences hit with that fun, action-movie energy that keeps the pacing tight during the middle chapters where exposition could have dragged.

The romance arcs are believable. The MC does not magically become irresistible overnight. He earns the interest of his companions through demonstrated competence and genuine personality, which makes the slow build toward a harem feel earned rather than contrived.

What Doesn’t

Here is where expectations matter. If you are picking this up because you want a harem book with explicit scenes and multiple girlfriends, you need to recalibrate. The harem barely begins forming by the time you hit the last page. There is no explicit content until very late, and even then it is restrained. For a book marketed in the harem fantasy space, that is a significant gap between promise and delivery.

The premise also leans heavily on familiar urban fantasy tropes. Readers have noted scenes that feel derivative of Spider-Man and other well-worn properties. Sentar puts enough of his own spin on things to make it work, but if you have consumed a lot of urban fantasy harem fiction, the first act will feel like well-trodden ground.

The Heat

Spice level sits at a firm 2 out of 5. This is a slow-burn harem book in the truest sense. The explicit content arrives late and is handled with restraint. If you need your harem books with consistent heat throughout, this is not going to scratch that itch. The romantic tension is there, but the payoff is clearly being saved for future installments.

Bottom Line

Dragon’s Justice is a solid urban fantasy harem opener for readers who value character work and world-building over immediate gratification. The writing quality is above average for the genre, the dialogue is genuinely sharp, and the supernatural elements are engaging. But if you are the kind of reader who searches for “harem books that don’t fade to black,” this one will test your patience. Treat it as a setup book for what should be a rewarding series, and temper your expectations for spice in book one.
