awesome

an empowering book that took my mind away feom all my worries and made me feel as if I too could accomplish what I need to do.

definitely good

loved it. I will be buying the rest of the series . I was never bored and I am excited to read the next book.

OMG, sooo Good!

This beautiful world of dragons and a little girl fighting for her life sets us up to touch the real essence of what it would be like to Meet and interact with these mythical beasts in there natural environments.
After this roller-coaster of a story, all I can think and EVEN dream about is what it would BE LIKE to live a life like this teenager, to "roar"" like her.
I am filled with AWE! This is only book#1 YAY!

Enjoyable but problematic

I have mixed feelings about this book. I enjoyed it, but the character development wasn't great. Lia kills a lot of guards without a second thought (to be fair they probably would have attacked her if she didn't, but she acted preemptively) then towards the end the book states that every death pained her. Then there's the relationship between her and the dragon Grandion, which is not at all healthy. At one point, after she was attacked and thrown in jail just because she, as a woman, dared to carry weapons on her person, he is angry AT HER and apparently wanted to "put her over his talon and give her a beating" and she feels bad and apologizes for not allowing it, saying that she "should've trusted him not to hurt her." At another point, she tears off her clothes due to fire ants, and when he sees her undressed he seems to literally lose his mind for a moment, approaching her as if she were a snack. She tells him to look away and that he's scaring her, but he doesn't respond. It's never adequately explained why he seemed to lose it like that, but more importantly, afterwards, they both act as if nothing at all happened.

If Shakespeare and Disney had a child

I admit to using a dictionary several times. The author uses a lot of big rarely used words poetically arranged in a way that would make Shakespeare proud .
However the story appeals to my inner childs earliest fantasies. About a girl with obpressive parents who befriends a dragon and goes on a magical adventure to restore the balence between good and evil. If this book were a disney movie it would be a favorite for young girls everywhere!

Amazing!!!!!!!!

Well I have been searching for a book just like this one! I literally couldn't stop until the very end which left me sobbing. If you are looking for a book that stacks up to the great works of literature such as The Lord of the Rings and Eragon you will fall head over heals for this gem of a book and luckily there appears to be 4 books in total !!!!! I can hardly wait to start the next book ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Fantastic Humor

This was a fun read, or rather a listen, as I've listened the to the audiobook. I was very intrigued with the concept of dragons, and smaller dragonettes. I thought it was very clever, and the bickering humor between characters was excellent as well. The narrator did a fantastic job, and the author did a great job creating a world, plot, characters, and emotional attachments. The end was sad, complete, and leaves you wanting more. I look forward to checking out the next book!

Best book of the year

So smoothly written. Hated to put it down. Out of the over 100 audio books I got this year... this one tops the list

Good

I think this may be a young adult story. it was good however there are some puzzling jumps in the story.

Absolutely amazing!

This book was narrated so well the performer deserves a thousand awards! You can feel the emotion in the voice and feel that there are truly more than one personal in this audio book. The book is full of unraveling mysteries, action, humor, and Love. I am truly looking forward to the other books as this one was Absolutely amazing!
