4.0 out of 5 stars Finally the First Dragon gets his
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2017

I was looking forward to the First Dragon’s story … I was all excited when I first read the blurb for this book. The fact that it is a novella sort of made me sad though, but I don’t think his type of character could make for a full length book easily.
The story was and wasn’t what I would normally expect from MacAlister. A chunk of the book was a sort of lexicon about the dragons and stuff from the series. I thought that there would be more to the story, but it all wrapped up nicely and too quickly for me. I guess I might be spoiled and had too high of an expectation for it, who knows…. It still had MacAlister’s trademark humor and likable characters and was a cute story. I particularly liked how Charity got herself out of being imprisoned. It was a good call since for some reason most guys go all squeamish when a girl talks about “her woman’s time.”
I was expecting more when it came to Charity and her band mates and maybe a bit more conflict. But, if you look at it from the perspective that it is just a wrap up story to give a favorite character of the entire batch of series his HE then it was a cute story. I enjoyed seeing characters from throughout the whole series all together in one spot. I would’ve liked to read more about the First Dragon acclimating himself to the modern world, but I guess since he found his mate he really didn’t have to deal with the inanities of going potty or eating, lol. I normally eat the fish out of water trope up so of course it wasn’t enough for me. It would’ve been nice to hear more about what a siren can and cannot do and where they come from. The romance between the two seemed rushed, but that could be expected from the length and nature of the story. I also would’ve liked to see Andrew and the other band mates get theirs, but I’m just going to think that they will probably cause trouble later on.
Now I want to read the whole series all over again so I can focus on the First Dragon.

5.0 out of 5 stars great book in the series

I love Katie's dragons! This book was very enjoyable and full of lots of characters from her previous dragon books. I’ve always wondered about the First Dragon and I can honestly say he is a yummy dragon. Agreeing to live with and be like his children and mates in the real world had some very funny scenes. Thieves trying to steal from dragons, a siren that sings so no one knows what is going on. I wish the novella could have been a full novel but it is great to see the First Dragon be as happy as his children and their mates, it’s also wonderful to see the interactions with his children and mates and why they are special to him. I hope a second story will come out of this maybe a crossover to the First Dragon realm. It truly is a great read. This is another wonderful book dragon by Katie!!

4.0 out of 5 stars I love Katie MacAlister's dragons!

I think Dragon Unbound is the final installment of the combined Dragon Septs series, and that makes me super sad. I just love Katie MacAlister's dragons!

This installment features the First Dragon, that mysterious and haughty demi-god who popped up here and there in previous books. You may recall that he is Baltic's father, but he seems to seek a special relationship with all of our characters. I love that the First Dragon visits all new dragons and welcomes them to world, and it shows a sweet side to his arrogant nature. The First Dragon is somewhat separated from reality, so his trying to understand modern vernacular, amenities and foods was quite humorous. But Katie's dragon books have all been humorous and just a great good time.

Charity Doe was a unique supernatural character. I liked her paired with the First Dragon and thought they fit well together. It was great that he got to be her savior and she kind of brought him back to life, or helped cure his ennui.

This story was super short so there wasn't a lot of character development, but I had fun anyway. I do wish the story had been longer because I just have such a good time with the series. I was listening during a road trip and was tempted to go back and listen to the whole series all over again. If I only had the time!!!

If you enjoy paranormal romance or dragons, I highly recommend Katie's Dragon Septs world. I urge you to read them in order as there is quite a bit of character crossover, and you don't want to miss any of the backstory.

5.0 out of 5 stars An insight into the First Dragon
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 14, 2017

This book is a great read and a fabulous insight into the First Dragon. Here we get to meet and understand him a little better, I love how Katie has made him a real person and how he experiences being "normal" for the first time. Charity is a great heroine who is not afraid to say what she's thinking.
All in all another great book from Katie McAlister

i enjoy these books as they are easy to read, have plenty of humour rather than violence. I read allsorts of books but turn to Katie MacAlister knowing that I'm going to be entertained and amused. This Novella regarding the first dragon is quirky and fun. Thanks Katie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gotta Love The Dragons Series!
Reviewed in Germany on April 4, 2017

Not gonna write a whole review since a lot of people already pointed out the good things in this book, so I'll just say some things that disappointed me. Though I love the whole dragon series, I was kind of disappointed in this story, although I was pretty curious about the First Dragon aswell as others were. But this story was too short, the characters lacked a bit overall (It didn't feel like it was about the main characters (Charity Doe & Aval The First Draong) more like a short story where everyone who appeared in the previous books before) and it felt like the story wasn't written as "well" as the other ones, a bit awkward as in written fast just to please us? Kinda feeling. But overall I really enjoyed the First Dragon presence and his humor. Wish it would be a bit longer though or maybe a whole series aswell? Since there is just so much more to the First Dragon. It was fun to see him on the mortal plane, but wish we could see more of his abilities aswell the other planes/dimensions etc.

I hope she'll continue the Dragon Series though because I feel like what happend to the Blue Dragons is unfinished and since there are new Red Dragons, I'd like to know more about them.

The history is funny as the other of the serie but if you haven't read the others first you will be confused, I would recommend read others first. I enjoyed reading about the first dragon, the story was very short though which was disappointing but it was well written as always, same humour in it I laughed a lot again as with previous books. You like dragons this one is for you
