comment
The Dinosaur Lords is a fantasy/science-fiction series by Victor Milán, and delivers exactly what it promises to: medieval knights and dinosaurs.Welcome to Paradise, a world where food is plentiful, nothing dies of old age, magic creeps under the radar and dinosaurs are war mounts, beasts of burden, predators and food source. This doesn't mean that the Empire of Nuevaropa, one of the bigger countries of Paradise, is at peace. On the contrary - following a Succession Crisis, there's civil war brewing. And it's far from the only conflict taking shape there.Karyl Bogomirskiy, a mercenary in service of Nuevaropa, loses his memories after his Triceratops legion is shattered and the Empire he fought for backstabs him. Along with Rob Korrigan, a wandering minstrel, Dinosaur Master and the man partly responsible for Karyl's downfall, they're recruited by a self-proclaimed sorceress to train the people of her homeland in arts of war in preparation for religious schism. Meanwhile, Nuevaropan prince Jaume, who did the backstabbing, wanders all over the land fighting wars and skirmishes he doesn't think wise on orders of an Emperor he doesn't respect, and his fiancee, Melodía, the Emperor's daughter, attempts to carve out a space for herself in imperial politics as the civil war moves from battlefields to the shaded corridors of the Palace of the Fireflies.Books in the series so far are: The Dinosaur Lords (2015) The Dinosaur Knights (2016) The Dinosaur Princess (2017)Sadly, Milán died in 2018, so the series is unlikely to be finished.

Beneath Notice: When talking with Montserrat about helping Melod&iaacute;a, Pilar lampshades this, noting that nobody in the palace notices children or servants. Melodía and Pilar escape the Palace disguised in a cart of dinosaur... guano.

Right Behind Me: On one of Imperial banquets, count Montañasul gives Melodía a long-winded tirade about the need to annihilate the religious sect of Garden of Truth and Beauty. Melodía, her patience running out, waits until he's finished and them points out that Jaume - on whose works the Garden based its doctrine - is sitting two seats away, and listening with rather disgruntled expression. Montañasul promptly falls silent.

"Well Done, Son" Guy: In his head, Falk has something of a masochistic relationship with his mother. He despises her, but craves her approval; he's the second-best swordsman in the Empire, but it doesn't matter to him until she acknowledges it; he wants her to approve of him and acknowledge his status, but knows that she never will; he struggles nevertheless.

Master Swordsman
 The Dinosaur Lords / int_17a606bd
comment
Master Swordsman: The two most notable in the series are Voyvod (later Duke) Karyl Borgomirsky and Count (later Prince) Jaume Llobregat. In Jaume's case, there's no better swordman in the country of Nuevaropa and uniquely among Dinosaur Knights in mounted combat, Jaume not only still favors a sword but can put each attack in whatever target he aims at despite the incredible jostling of the dinosaur mount (most mounted Dinosaur Knights instead favor mauls, poleaxes or long-hafted maces to knock over enemies from their mounts). Karyl is so amazing a swordsman that he was able to go toe to toe with the superhuman Grey Angel Raguel, despite the being's inhuman size and speed, he even cuts off one of Raguel's hands before tiring out. Melodía is later tutored by Maestra Auriana who La Madrota Rosamaria says is a swordsmaster though not on Karyl's level.

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Falk plays the part of overzealous former rebel who underwent a touching Heel–Face Turn and now wholeheartedly supports the Emperor and his Church, while in fact he's a manipulative bastard who gets himself in Emperor's good graces for his faction's ends and fatasizes about forcing himself on Melodía. Violette plays the part of a sad once-noblewoman who befriends Melodía and pities her plight, while it's obvious from Rob's POV that she's seducing the girl from the start, and later takes advantage of Melodía's fear and sadness to pull her into bed.

The Dreaded: Falk's mother. The mere suggestion that she may be arriving on the scene of events is enough to make usually snarky Bergdahl admit that he's trembling in fear. Karyl has a reputation for never losing (it's not completely correct), making most of Nuevaropa shiver with terror whenever he arrives on the battlefield.

Break the Haughty: Melodía gets hit with this hard after her arrest. First, Falk rapes her, and then she's forced to escaped the palace hidden in dinosaur guano. While free of the palace, she's mistreated by Pilar as part of their scheme to masquerade as a noblewoman and her servant, and when she eventually reaches Providence, she tries to take over and make a difference, only for things to go horribly wrong. After that, she finally learns her lesson.

Hidden Depths: Every member of Melodía's Girl Posse. In the end, she realizes with sadness that she's the only one among them who is shallow, although at this point, she might be selling herself a bit short. Abigail is not just snarky and dismissive, but also a gifted schemer with abilities of someone born to be The Spymaster. Llurdis rarely thinks before she speaks, but she's fiercely loyal and doesn't hesitate to literally walk in shit for her friends. Lupe may be the resident Sir Swears-a-Lot and a cynic, but she does worry and helps Melodía when she needs it. Fina is a crybaby, but also fiercely intelligent.

Even Evil Has Standards: While Falk considers undermining the authority of the Emperor's best general to be ordinary politics in most circumstances, he understands that doing so on the eve of battle against an army that outnumbers them immensely is suicidally stupid, and verbally stomps his subordinates into the ground when he learns that they haven't discontinued the slander campaign against Jaume under those circumstances.

Kick the Dog: If readers start to feel sorry for "Well Done, Son" Guy Falk, his attempted rape of Melodía, and later conviction that she was tempting him, are enough to make him unlikable again in some readers' eyes.

Rule of Cool: How did all those dinosaurs from other eras end up together on one planet? Why did the clearly-once-advance world regress to medieval era? Can you actually train dinosaurs? Can you actually use them in battle? Doesn't matter - what matters is that this way, you can have medieval knights riding dinosaurs into battle.

The Man Behind the Man: Falk is presented as the villain of the Palace of the Fireflies plot, but it's quickly shown that he's played like an instrument by his servant, Bergdahl, who actually works for Falk's mother. In the end, it turns out Raguel has been manipulating events quite literally from the start.

Guys Smash, Girls Shoot
 The Dinosaur Lords / int_3c700857
comment
Guys Smash, Girls Shoot: Applied to some degree, most Dinosaur Knights are men and with their lengthy melee weapon of choice and plate armor - they typically charge into battle to knock enemies around. Most light cavalry are women and with little armor and comparatively lightweight horses, light cavalry mostly uses throwing weapons like the swing dart or if the rider has the skill and training - the horn bow. Melodia notes herself that while noblewomen are all trained with weapons, the focus is mostly with ranged weapons, she was only trained further in the sword because she had the privilege of having a sword instructor.

Bittersweet Ending: Lords ends badly for Team Protagonists, with Falk all but in charge of Imperial politics, Melodía on the run, Jaume slowly losing control over his own army, Rob and Karyl arrested and Grey Angels up and about. The only things to sweeten this are that Melodía manages to escape Falk with Pilar, and her co-conspirators won't be arrested per Emperor's direct order. Blessedly, the man still can think for himself. Knights ends a little better, but still very bittersweetly, for the cast. Raguel is dead and his horde is broken, Melodia and Jaume are back together, and Karyl's army has united with the Emperor's and are finally working together. But Raguel could come back, his fellow Grey Angels will definitely come back, Falk is now a hero to the people and revealing that he raped her would not go well for Melodia, Karyl has been named Paradise's Champion (A role he does not want), and the Emperor's confessor is actually a Grey Angel. Oh and hundreds of thousands of innocent people, including many many children, used by Raguel as cannon fodder are dead.

Zerg Rush: The horde infantry's one and only tactic is to run at the enemy without order and often without weapons, screaming at top of their lungs and tearing the enemy to shreds. Considering they vastly outnumber the Imperial forces, don't feel pain and never tire, but lack higher brain functions, it's likely the only viable method available to them.

Honor Before Reason: When Karyl proposes his plan of ambushing the riders and striking at them from the dark, the Gardeners are appalled, stating that it's dishonorable and he should meet the enemy face-on, despite Providence's militia being severely under-trained and under-manned. Karyl lambastes them for this and reason prevails. Upon hearing of Melodía's imprisonment and escape, Jaume's first instinct is to sneak out at night and run to find and save her, responsibilities be damned. It takes half of his warriors persuading him and almost literally dragging him off his saddle to convince him to stay.

Stress Vomit: Melodía has to run off and go puke after she learns what the nobles actually think of her experiences as a light cavalry member of the Fugitive Legion. It turns out they believe she ran off when her father needed her most in the fight against the hordelings and when she counters saying that she fought the hordelings long before Imperial forces did, the nobles she hung out with tell her that her light cavalry did could hardly be called fighting and they felt she was just slumming with commoners who were also renegades.

Artistic License – Paleontology: Downplayed. While most of the depictions of dinosaurs are accurate and well-researched, the hadrosaurs weaponize their vocalizations not unlike in Clash of the Dinosaurs, something that's highly unlikely in real life. There is definitely an issue of (realistically depicted) dinosaurs from totally different eras co-existing simultaneously.

Disproportionate Retribution: Why did Falk anally rape Melodía? At the ballroom dance where she meets him in person, she thought of having sex with him (Jaume was away campaigning and there's no cultural issue against open relationships in Nuevaropa) and indicated it. Later seeing what a bastard he is to others, she loses her temporary infatuation and declines. This greatly pissed off Falk who was looking forward to getting one over his rival Jaume and was hot for Melodía's beauty.

The Church
 The Dinosaur Lords / int_51bc8d33
comment
The Church: The Creators have their own Church, which has quite some political power despite many people professing agnosticism. More dangerous than even the church is the fact that there is a "cult" within the church that ends up causing a lot of problems throughout the series. They insist that, rather than taking the word of the gods at face value, men should look for hidden meaning behind those words instead. This is in spite of the fact that these words were handed down in the same language as spoken by the people, and were intended to have no possible means of severe misinterpretation, to the point that the gods stated that there was no wrong interpretation of their words. This even includes an explanation for basic hygiene and the exact consequences for ignoring those rules. The cult argues that, instead of following those rules, people are supposed to act in the exact opposite way. One of the main ways you can tell if someone belongs to this cult is the fact that they have poor hygiene.

Fantasy Counterpart Culture: Paradise is in large parts Medieval Europe with dinosaurs! Examples include: The Irysh, complete with Irish Travellers' expies, and the Anglysh. Nuevaropa, which mixes Mayincatec aesthetics and climate with purely Spanish naming and culture. Distant and only mentioned Celestial Kingdoms - take a guess. Likewise the books mention Zipangu and its ninjas reputed to be able to catch arrows in flight with their hands. It's a neighbor of the above Celestial Kingdoms. Slev people, who are a mix of Russia and other eastern European countries, with some Huns added in (the Ovda). Providence region, which is very much like French region of Provence.

Sinister Nudity: When Melodia encounters the Angelic Abomination worshiped by the Garden, the fact that everyone involved is naked (and the Angel's skin looks diseased) only increases the horror. The people of Paradise have a more relaxed approach to nudity (loincloths and feather boas are a perfectly acceptable court dress, though some would prefer that the old and decrepit cover up more), so full public nudity is used by some people with a point to make to emphasize their earnestness.

The Immune: Possibly. Disease is almost unknown to Humanity on Paradise, the vast majority of times people get sick from infection is when a plague is sent by the Grey Angels so illness has dark implications. People even get terrified if they see someone who's been sickened due to severe injury. However when the Imperials form their Army of Correction, there are several outbreaks of disease that Jaume attributes to the army having so many people that don't bathe or practise good hygiene (though Uriel was lurking within the army and may have been using his poers to sicken pople.

Really 700 Years Old: Melodía's great-grandma is still going at almost three hundred. Theoretically possible for every Paradisian, although few get to live that long. Witness claims to be some four hundred years old. Of course, being a Genius Loci of Paradise, she's somewhat older.

When Melodia encounters the Angelic Abomination worshiped by the Garden, the fact that everyone involved is naked (and the Angel's skin looks diseased) only increases the horror.

Suicidal Pacifism: Some Gardeners, most vocally Sister Violette, oppose fighting against invaders bearing down on them, stating that "[they] can't abandon their principles just because they became inconvenient", even though the likely result is getting murdered, sold to slavery, raped or any combination of those.

Lost Technology: Implied when Jaume and Florian investigate strange ruins on their way. They manage to figure out that battle was fought there, but burn marks on the ground couldn't be made with any technology they know, and lightning doesn't strike in straight line either. Watchful reader could assume laser weaponry.

Sequel Hook: Several in Lords. Melodía going to Providence to hide from Falk. Karyl and Rob getting arrested by Providencials. The Emperor revealing that his confessor was encouraging him to trust Falk. And, last but not least, all of Raguel's and Uriel's conversation. In Knights: Aphrodite appointing Karyl her champion. Melodía deciding to murder Falk whenever the opportunity arises. Rob discovering that emperor's confessor is a Grey Angel.

Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions: The current trend in Nuevaropa's court is to disbelieve in existence of the Creators and question faith, to the point that Rob and Melodía both freely admit to themselves that they don't believe. Of course, the prologue, as well as Aphrodite's powers, indicated that there is some truth behind the Creators.

Adipose Rex: Count Augenfedels, whose has such a multiple chin, it seems like his head isn't really attached to his shoulders. Apparently, it's quite common among dinosaur knights, as in contrast to their horse-mounted kin, their mounts are the ones doing all the work, so they don't have to keep fit. The unnamed king of Trinia Swamps, whom the girls of Melodía's posse describe as so fat, he rarely gets off his throne.

When they were still the army of Providence, Karyl and Rob had succeeded in whipping into a potent force by bringing on several triceratops with howdahs (they're not on par with the White River Legion, so the Fugitive Legion's howdah riders used powerful but slow arbalests compared to the WRL's hornbow archers) that alone makes them unique since the White River Legion. They combine this with irregulars experienced in guerrilla warfare in their Wildrunners and even managed to enlist a number of true Dinosaur Knights. With Melodía joining, the light cavalry branch also improves to an effective fighting force where they lacked a leader to rally behind before.

Bratty Teenage Daughter: Melodía has shades of this. While certainly intelligent and somewhat nice, she keeps on complaining that nobody cares what she thinks and throws a hissing fit when Jaume - who at the time is insanely busy preparing an army to march out on short notice - doesn't hear her speak, lost in thought.

Overshadowed by Awesome: During the battle against the Grey Angel Crusade, Falk notes that he's killed at least a hundred people so far, and that isn't even the most badass feat of heroism so far that day - that honor went to Jaume leading the Companions on a cavalry charge straight through the entire enemy army and out the other side. And both feats are later overshadowed by Karyl and Shiraa defeating Raguel.

Wham Episode
 The Dinosaur Lords / int_8e20979
comment
Wham Episode: The epilogue to Lords. Two Grey Angels are about and they manipulated the news of their arrival to have the biggest impact on people at the best time. The other Angels are fighting a war with something called the Anomalies which is beginning to be active on Paradise. One of the Angels is walking the world completely unseen. The last chapter of part 3 of Knights, where Melodía learns that Raguel is raising a full-blown zombie apocalypse. The epilogue to Knights has a trifecta. Aphrodite reveals herself to be the Witness and Paradise's genius loci, and appoints Karyl her champion. Falk's oft-talked about, dreaded mother is coming to La Merced to take active part in politics - just as Falk was getting independent. And, last but not least, Rob discovers that Emperor's confessor and the person influencing his decisions the most is a Grey Angel.

Foreshadowing: The many mentions of Grey Angels crusading to cleanse the world of sin, which is exactly what starts to happen in The Dinosaur Knights. Raguel's decision to go to Providence, Longeau's dying babbling of Fate Worse than Death awaiting those who side with the Garden, and Violette's and Bogardius' talk of "higher mysteries". The Garden Council is in cahoots with a Grey Angel - the same one that started the crusade against the Garden in the first place. Bogardius' deteriorating health. Odd silence in the north of Providence. Strange behaviour of people who do show up in the north. Can you say "zombie army"?

Rape, Pillage, and Burn
 The Dinosaur Lords / int_ba6cf869
comment
Rape, Pillage, and Burn: When Jaume is given command of the army, he quickly starts to have problems with his generals letting their knights do all three for fun. Jaume comes down on them hard, winning no love from his men, but states that if this continues, the army's soon going to be at war with its own nation. The army slips out of Jaume's control after conquering Terraroja, when they go against his orders and pillage and burn the castle, raping all women in it.

Hiding Behind Religion: Montañasul's call to arms against the Garden of Beauty and Truth is based as fighting against heresy and rooting out those unfaithful to the Pope. Melodía probing quickly reveals that the real reason is that Garden speaks for greater equality of social classes and respect for peasantry, whereas Montañasul is infamous for the way he treats his serfs.

The people of Paradise have a more relaxed approach to nudity (loincloths and feather boas are a perfectly acceptable court dress, though some would prefer that the old and decrepit cover up more), so full public nudity is used by some people with a point to make to emphasize their earnestness.

Cliffhanger: Unfortunately due to Victor Milán's death, it's one for the whole series. Karyl and Rob are forced to flee the Imperial Palace due to an assassination plot and many people (though luckily not Emperor Felipe) believed they were aided in escape by the Fae. The Grey Angel Gabriel has arrived to lead the armies of Nuevaropa against Trebizon for kidnapping Princess Montserrat.

Shout-Out
 The Dinosaur Lords / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Jaume's official title is the Prince of Flowers, reminescent of The Knight of Flowers of A Song of Ice and Fire. Both are also Agent Peacocks and have male lovers. The similarities are unsurprising when one finds out that Milán and GRRM are friends in real life. When asked what he'd been doing, Raguel says "walking to and fro in the world, and going up and down in it." His companion even chastises him that "the joke was old before we were created"note The joke is, in Book of Job it was Satan who said that. To Shakespeare: When faced with the climatic battle of Knights, Rob exclaims "Once more unto the breach".

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane
 The Dinosaur Lords / int_cb70651c
comment
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: A question for the reader rather than the characters. On one hand, it'd be easy to see Aphrodite's actions and the Angel from the prologue as magic. On the other hand, there are indications that Paradise has been colonized by humans who later regressed technologically, so Aphrodite's "magic" that regrows Karyl's hand could be some sort of Clarke's Third Law-adhering tech. However given that all the supernatural beings call what they do as magic and what they are as supernatural, it could be that future humanity has developed Sufficiently Analyzed Magic as a technology in the manner of Legends of the Red Sun. There's also a throwaway line by Jaume mentioning the existence of PSI.

These excerpts include the local name of the dinosaurs featured in the novels as well as their Earth scientific name.

Days of Future Past: Paradise is very much implied to be some colonized world in the future, but technology and state of the world looks almost like carbon copy of late-Medieval Europe, complete with Nuevaropa being Spain/Portugal equivalent, the "Irysh" and "Slevs". However, it's not taken to the end - while there's a church, agnosticism is "fashionable" and social standards are much looser.

Laser-Guided Amnesia: The Angel from the prologue has a device that wipes out the witness' memory, leaving the kid confident he's been sleeping on the job. Seems to be Angel's tool of trade, as another one wipes away Melodía's memory of seeing him, making her think she drank something that made her black out. Even after Karyl's identity and memories come back to him, he still doesn't remember the first three months after his second resurrection, only that he "woke up" already a wandering beggar.

The Unmasqued World
 The Dinosaur Lords / int_ebcf99b5
comment
The Unmasqued World: Paradise has existed long enough that many people including Karyl and Melodía see the Fae and the Grey Angels as well as their magic as myth and superstition. Even the Creators are believed to be mythical or long gone by many other than the relgious. This disbelief starts breaking apart with Raguel's attack.

But I Would Really Enjoy It: When leading the Correction Army to Terraroja, Jaume catches himself on having some untowardly thoughts towards Florian, his fellow Companion. As their leader, he shouldn't sleep with them - it's in the rules - but he can't help fantasizing.

Decapitated Army: With the horde being all under Mind Control of their leader, it's little surprise that killing Raguel pretty much ends the entire thing, at least temporarily.

Martial Pacifist: Underplayed with Karyl, who always prefers to solve matters by anything other than violence and avoids fight unless it's necessary, while being a mercenary commander. Discrepancy could be explained by difference in personalities of pre- and post-amnesia Karyl.

Running Gag: It seems like apart from Rob, who seems to have some sort of perfect pitch, every person in Nuevaropa is a Dreadful Musician - at least in his POVs. One of the Companions, Will, who's always present but never seen speaking, is always referred to as Will Oakheart of Oakheart. Whenever Prince Mikael of Trebizón is mentioned, it is usually added he weighs 200 kilos and never bathes, grossing out someone.

China Takes Over the World
 The Dinosaur Lords / int_fd41610f
comment
China Takes Over the World: Among the Creators few if any were Asian given the depictions of each individual Creator. However there's evidence that they were at least partially Chinese in culture: the "holy language" that the Creators used is Chinese as Chánguo, the China expy of Paradise is the nation famous for their everyday language being the same as the Creators, the Book of Law that all nations follow uses Celestial hierarchy and Taoist beliefs as the focus of morality rather than a Christian-based faith and when Jaume and his Companions used their hand to draw the holy symbol Taiji in the air, the symbol depicted was the Yin-Yang. Even in the first book, among the Grey Angels meeting in the epilogue they mentioned Taoism by name.

Dark and Troubled Past
 The Dinosaur Lords / int_fed93e1b
comment
Dark and Troubled Past: Karyl's immediate family was slaughtered and eaten by a wild dinosaur when Karyl himself was just a kid. His further family has proceeded to kick him out of the house a few years later to take over his family lands, leaving him with nothing but clothes on his back and young Shiraa by his side. He managed to survive that and worked as a mercenary for years before building up enough powerbase to regain control over his lands. Falk's father is heavily implied to have been an abusive tyrant who routinely hurt his son, and his mother is a Manipulative Bitch who belittled Falk until she had him wrapped around her finger. Falk ended up pushing his father off the stairs to his death, but in contrast to Karyl, he never really recovered fully, still being an obedient tool to his mother.

Pet the Dog: Subverted when Bergdahl and Falk discuss who else to use to get a leverage on the Emperor when Melodía proves inaccessible. When Bergdahl proposes using Montserrat, Falk is quick to say they're not pulling a ten-year-older into their schemes. A moment later he adds that that's because the Emperor would have their heads if something happened to her.
