Titan's Nest

De: T. D. Orel

Narrado por: Jared Walters

Every century, six dragon eggs inexplicably fall from the heavens. Once hatched, each dragon bites a young adult, forever merging their souls, granting them an elemental ability, and creating the next generation of Bitten Knights. No one in the north was surprised when Maximus Duskfell found his hand between the fangs of the newest dragon hatchling, as he had proven to be the ideal Bitten Knight-fearless, unyielding, and filled with unlimited potential. But when a twist of fate diverts Maximus' path, his unlikely brother, Darren Duskfell, is forced to secretly inherit his sibling's identity, destiny, and dragon... a dragon that loathes his very existence. If the training doesn't kill him, the Swarmborne, the half-human, half-insect warriors might. He may not have any of his brother's physical talents, but he may just have the wit and the will. Meanwhile, clear on the other side of the world, their friend Ryker has become entangled in a deadly cult that claims to have uncovered the dark truth of the Bitten Knights. They've aligned with the Swarmborne in hopes of accomplishing their goal: butcher the Bitten Knights and resurrect their scaly gods.

An excellent beginning

The story asks the question: What if you made dragon riders work kind of like werewolves? More mature tone than most draconic fiction and TD Orel manages to bring an original take on the magic of dragon riders. The protagonist is genuinely introspective and unique. This book is the first book in the series, and the characters develop throughout. Red Rising + Eragon + Unique Magic System with a dash of Lovecraft thrown in for good measure.

Brilliant Twist

Story was every engaging. If you like it you will finish the book within a week. It constantly pulls you back in by dangling little bites just out of reach in the next chapters. Would have been a 5/5 but some of the voices were hard to get used to.

The story is a masterpiece and the reader does a great job of conveying emotion and lack thereof very well

I don’t think I have anything i dislike currently the story is gripping and well thought out

Engaging and original

A book that’s easy to jump right into. The characters are fascinating and it’s action packed. The main character is definitely not the archetypal hero and so many times the story has me wondering and guessing where it’s going to go next. Not an obvious plot, but a great one. The world building is so fun and different. Can’t wait for the second book! I’ve listened to the audible a couple times. Fun different voices that bring the characters to life. Well done!

Great narration and story!

A super fun dragon fantasy about the underdog finding his courage. Loved it! And the narration is excellent!

Great start to a saga

Thought this was a really good opener. The plot was really good and I thought the world and society was super cool. I will say I thought the performance wasn’t great, accents were a little inconsistent and I think volume changes like shouting sounded off. Like a whispered shout or something. I’m no expert, just my thought!

great story, meh reading

not the narrators fault but the audio levels are all over the place, some times the sentences are repeated, it's just a mess. but honestly still a great read.

Riveting story! Incredible character development and scope! Multi layered plots that are woven together beautifully!

This is a masterpiece! It’s detailed nature makes the magnificent scenes and characters come to life inside your minds eye! The characters are so well crafted and each have so much depth to them that they all add significant elements to the storyline. There are some amazing unforeseen developments that will enthrall your mind and heart! I am so excited for book two and whatever else T.D. Orel has up his sleeve!

Great start to a new series!

I originally found this book from the author’s hilarious TikTok’s. The story and characters are engaging and I can’t wait for book 2. The narration is meh, the editing is off, with some sentences repeating. Overall, very worth the listen!

A great story and great voices

This book is a great listen the voices of each and every character come to life through this narration along with the fact that the story didn’t go as I had expected and left me wandering what was to happen next. I took little time to finish the listen and will be awaiting the release of the second book in this series
