Dragon Tongue

Rise of the Dragon Riders, Book 1

De: Ava Richardson

Narrado por: Amy Hall

A legend from the past is a kingdom's only hope....

Cora knows her grandmother's stories of the noble dragon riders by heart, even though most people consider them just a myth. But for Cora, the legends are a pleasant distraction from her concern for her ailing father and the enormous debt they owe to the king's garrison.

Desperate to help her father, Cora becomes a scale scavenger, risking life and limb by entering the territory of the deadly, feral dragons to gather the highly valuable scales. But her first attempt nearly ends in tragedy when she’s trapped by an angry dragon. They are both stunned when she unlocks the secret of communicating with him.

As Cora and the dragon, Alaric, grow closer, they uncover more secrets from the kingdom’s past. There was a dark conclusion to the dragon rider legacy, brought about by a malicious force that sought power at any cost. That force still holds the kingdom in thrall—and has no intention of allowing the dragon riders to rise again.

Can Cora and Alaric reignite a legend from the past, before it’s too late?

DRAGONS BEGUN

THIS IS A FANTASTIC START OF A SERIES! I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THE REST OF THE SERIES COME OUT ON AUDIO!

Wonderfully written!

Loved it! It was a fun twist to the dragon tails! I enjoyed it greatly.

great start to the series

This book was a great start to this dragon rider series. the heroine is well written and I like to hear her thoughts and history as to why she reacts to situations the way she does. The narrator did a great job voicing all the characters.

A Simple YA Dragon Fantasy

A young woman grows up with tales of dragon readers from her Nanna while everyone else knows they are just a myth. That is until Cora meets a dragon face to face and is surprised that she can understand them … sort of. The story is a YA that is fairly par for the genre, so there is little nuance or complexity to the characters; even the plot is pretty straight forward and predictable. And like many teens, Cora can be overly dramatic, whiney and stubborn … traits that lead to several remarkably questionably decisions with consequences most of us could see coming. However, this is the first of the series, so our heroine has a lot of room to grow, World building is solid if somewhat basic. Character development is limited to the MC more or less, with almost basic caricatures of villains (from a teenager perspective at least). Although it follows nearly every dragon rider storyline that I have previously encountered in the broad strokes, there are still a few purposes and interesting twists that combined with a solid narration make this a little better that it would be on its own … and wholesome enough to maybe retain its relative feel good aspect throughout the series. I enjoyed it enough to look at the sequel.

I was given this free advance review/listener copy (ARC) audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Always an amazing ability to drag you into it.

Memorized after the first few chapters can stop listening. Fantastic from start to finish.

Forgotten history mystery

If you like forgotten history mysteries, dragon riders, outcast overcoming, and forbidden magic you will enjoy it.

Loved it

Received free and enjoyed every moment of this story. The idea that humans and dragons could be a bonded pair, talk to each other and be mutually beneficial. Hoping there is a second book I can purchase to hear more.

Nice story

Good story, likeable MC. Side characters are a bit flat but seeing as the MC kept to herself that might have been intentional. Overall it was a good story but nothing particularly captivating. I'd still consider listening to the second one to see if it picks up.
