About this listen

Can one boy stand between two kingdoms at war?

Jaevid Broadfeather has grown up as a wartime refugee, hiding from the world because of his mixed racial heritage. He feels his future is hopeless - until a chance encounter with a wild dragon lands him in Blybrig Academy, a place usually forbidden to anyone but the rich and royal.

But Jaevid's case is special; no dragon has voluntarily chosen a rider in decades, so the proud riders of Blybrig must begrudgingly let him join their brotherhood despite his bloodline. Lieutenant Sile Derrick, a sternly tempered man with a mysterious past, becomes his instructor and immediately takes a peculiar interest in Jaevid's future. While struggling through the rigorous physical demands of training, things begin to go awry. Jaevid witnesses the king's private guards kidnapping Sile in the dead of night. When none of the elder riders is willing to help him, Jaevid begins a dangerous adventure to save his instructor. Everything Jaevid learned at the academy will now be put to the ultimate test.

This book was a very enjoyable listen and i loved every minute. I love stories with dragons and riders and this was just what i needed. If you are a fan of Christopher Paolini then this book is for you. The narration was very good and you could identify between the different characters. I have already purchased books 2 and 3 so i'm off to listen to the next in the series.

Very enjoyable.

The story itself is pretty interesting, but the characters, worldbuilding, and dialogue leaves a lot to be desired. The biggest problem, however, is that this is the only dragon rider story I have ever read or listened to where the dragon is pretty much non-existent. It could have been written out of the story conpletely and it barely would have made a difference. It's unfortunate because in the hands of a great author and atleast a decent narrator, this story could have been great.

Not too bad
