Absolutely brilliant

I really enjoyed it. The narrator added some undercurrents that enhanced the story. Which is brilliant, as I said. I loved that the characters were entirely non-human and the author really embraced the differences. The culture of the creatures is amazingly well thought out. I wish I could see Dragon art and Octopus displays in real life! Arak and Scree are surprisingly relatable, for a dragon and an octopus. The story is well thought out and extremely interesting. I look forward to books two and three in audio form of the author wants to continue this route; but I’ll be ordering them in hard copy in the meantime. This is a series I’ll want on my shelf to reread in future!
