Claws Out: A LitRPG Native World Adventure

Dragon Sorcerer, Book 1

De: Sean Oswald

Narrado por: Neil Hellegers

Is it snark if you're a dragon?

Nico, a young dragon of barely fifty, is rudely chased from his home by a group of murderous adventurers. Of his entire clutch, only he and one sister remained, but now he is alone. Isolated and hungry, Nico’s magic awakens, bonding him with Cami, a brave young woman.

To hide from the adventurers’ pursuit, Nico takes on human form. However, once they discover that both he and Cami have magical abilities, they are required by law to attend the Imperial Academy.

Of course, he has to hide his true nature, which isn't always easy given a dragon-sized ego.

Great story

This is a great story with some decent humor playing off stereotypes of dragons. good character development. Good battle descriptions. Would recommend.

Narration had good voices that you can tell the difference between.

fun story!

i love this book. the dragon self-dialogue is just fun and it’s a grand adventure

Solid Premise Bad Pacing Continuity Issues

Watching this MC get continually taken by surprise at things that were implicitly and sometimes explicitly revealed to him in earlier chapters is really infuriating. It has a solid premise and NH gives his normal four star performance, but this story just lurches along with an MC who is supposed to be an unreliable narrator, but has a level of cluelessness that really doesn't make sense in the context of the story. Lastly, if you introduce the idea that all young magic users must go to academy in the first couple of chapters of the book, waiting until the last couple of chapters for them to actually get there is really unsatisfying. This is especially true when the middle chapters are peppered with pointless "will he/won't he" go to the academy scenes despite that he has already committed to do so.

excellent performance and interesting story.

The narrator has done an excellent job of bringing the characters to life. The story is interesting enough that I'm eager to see how it progresses through the series. I am somewhat leary of the RPG video game stat type of progression that it has without a proper explanation for it but I've come to accept that this is typical for these type of stories. truthfully that is my only complaint about it and a minor one at that. The story is overall engaging and the characters endearing. I can't wait to find out what happens next.

Great book!!!

Enjoyed this book very much. Fun take on a dragon and its rider. Looking forward to the next one. The combination of dry and childish humor is a little different.
