Publisher's summary

If no one else will challenge the Firebloods, Casandra will do it herself.

Princess Casandra, daughter of the Dragon Judge, knows there is nothing she cannot do. No cliff she cannot climb, no fight she cannot win, no man who can best her in a battle of wits.

So when her best friend is banished for failing the Dragon Judge’s test, there is no question in her mind.

She has to set this right. She has to get her best friend back. She has to rid the world of a slumbering evil her father is too cowardly to face.

Armed with her father’s twin swords, her dragon, and her clever mind, Casandra sets off on an unsanctioned mission that will lead to freedom for her family…or to her death.

Casandra’s Dragon is an Empire of Ash and Song novella, YA Fantasy with the Forbidden Adventure vibes of Tangled, the faith themes of Chronicles of Narnia, and the epicness of How to Train your Dragon!

it is engaging and entertaining and I did like the story

Midway through I felt like the actions of the main protagonist was a bit "extra", in the way that it's not that isnt logical but it is realistic, but the story is engaging and you can follow along well. I did enjoy the story overall.

D.E. Carlson is the best!!!

I love this book so much!! The story, the growth, the world itself is incredible and beautifully written. The narrator did an incredible job bringing the story to life! To narrate the rest of the To Bind Fire series!

The voice actor was incredibly talented!

This is my second time to go through the story of Casandra's Dragon, but my first time to listen to the audio book. The voice actor was incredible! She matched the enthusiasm and charisma I imagined from the characters, which made the book even more enjoyable! D. E. Carlson is also a talented author and writes images that bring the words to life!

Dragons!!!

I thoroughly enjoy this book! This is my second time reading it, as I previously read the ebook version. I loved the voice acting that really brought the characters to life!

The story

I love getting a glimpse into Cassandra life! It was a great novella and the narrator did an awesome job!

A new adventure begins

I liked the story overall and I think it’s good that Cassandra isn’t immediately good at everything and better than everyone else. She struggles, she fails, she overcomes. I look forward to the next book in this saga

Fascinating and compelling read!

I loved this book! I didn’t want to stop reading it once I started it. I enjoyed how the main character strived to find out more about her world as she had this unquenchable yearning for justice. This book will be a wonderful addition to the authors series. I liked that you get to hear more about a side character background and how it plays into the main story. It makes this fantasy world feel that much bigger. I can’t wait to explore more of it in her next novel.
