The outcast Boy is chosen by a Great Dragon and becomes one of the saviors of the Kingdom. Old story but written by an outstanding original thinking Author. Great characters and lots of intriguing action. Evil attacks and then in a great struggle, it is overwhelmed. A MUST-READ SERIES.

I chose to give this 5 stars as the plot is great, the writing is descriptive withoutout being overly so. Dragons! I love 'em!  You easily begin to get a feel for personalities  but, keep reading because theres so much more to each character.  There's a bit of action and it was easy to lose myself in the book.  I'm a bit upset with myself for choosing such a good book that doesn't have part 2 yet but, I'm anxiously awaiting the next one in this series. Theres another book thats free when you finish if you sign in for updates. Ive only just started that one.  It will have to tide me over.  There's a lot of conflict as the story is set up. Not so much romance but, I didn't care.  There's nothing raunchy  in here if you're sensitive to that sort of thing.

I want to say more but I don't want to spoil anything!

This is a high flying fantasy that has equal parts action and character development, which I love! Taren is a great apprentice to follow. He's resourceful and strong willed, even in the beginning when he is separated from his fellow apprentices, he manages to find an inn. Taren meets Zamna, who is a reptilian with many secrets. I loved the rough dynamic between the two at first, but then their growing friendship as the story progresses. Great sword and sorcery action throughout. Awesome read.

I really enjoyed this read.

The male mc is the kind of dragon that is seen as the worst kind of dragon--he's uninteresting in the things that dragons are: power, money, and being on top over competition.
Which brings us to Rachel Aaron's world on dragons. Set in a not so distant future, magic re-entered the world and the earth is not the same. Her dragons are cunning creatures that can take human form. Clearly more inclined to their beast side than man. They desire power and wealth--all of the good ol' things from older dragon stories.

This story is an adventure with plenty of action and interesting minor characters--they have personality, flaws, and nuances to their character.

A great start for this new series.

You have never heard about dragons like this before, great imagination and idea! The author took the story of dragons, who doesn't love those, and added a fantasy read that readers of all ages are going to love. Peter, Tank and Richie are just a few of the characters the author has put into this book and readers will follow them on an adventure and learn from them the secrets that dragons only know. I am impressed by this author and bythis story that is great for all ages.

The story starts off when Kara, a teenage girl, is taken, by the king's men, to King Orrik for a mission she must accomplish for him. He needs her powers. Kara possesses the ability to call down birds. Believing birds and dragons are alike as kin, King Orrik oders Kara to get rid of the dragons that have been causing havoc to society. Throughout the book, Kara makes several friends, especially with a very special falcon, who each do their part in helping her out. In her journey, Kara calls down the dragon that once brought her back to life when she was thought to be dead in her childhood due to an illness. Kara later encounters more dragons and, later, devises a plan to allow these dragons to move away and settle somewhere so that both species, humans and dragons, will live comfortably. Kara faces more conflicts as the story goes on further. In the end, though, her plan succeeds, and peace is established. Kara, herself, lives happily ever after.
  I would greatly recommend this book to anyone. It is action-packed, adventurous, and bulging with suspense. The great description allows you to take part in the story. The story mixes mystical creatures, special powers, and ordinary people in this one fantastic book.
  My utmost favorite part of the story is when Kara encounters a cave full of dragons. She actually speaks to these magical creatures. I almost thought the dragons were fierce enough to harm Kara, but I saw that they were gentle, caring, and protective of other fellow dragons. The book is great!

Totally enjoyed Blood of Dragons. I try not to give away too much of the story in reviews.  Book tied up all the loose ends for me.  Worst part was Hest, but even that worked out well.  Excellent mix of action and adventure.  Highly recommend the series.  Only other thing I can add is I bet Kalo had a bit of indigestion.

Very rarely is the second book of a series better than the first, but as good as DRAGONFLIGHT is, DRAGONQUEST is more exciting.  This book is packed with great scenes: the duel of the Weyrleaders, the battle of the queen dragons, the discovery of fire lizards and that barely touches the surface of this dramatic book, packed with action and romance.

Nothing less than the future of Pern is at stake.  Although the Oldtimers have come forward in time to fight Pern's ancient nemesis of Thread, they are stunned by the changes in Pern's society.  With Thread, a ghastly kind of interstellar rain that kills everything it touches, falling out of pattern, the Oldtimers are essential to Pern's defense.  However, the Oldtimers cling to outmoded traditions that allow no room for Pern's expansion.  Only one man, Benden's Weyrleader F'lar sees what needs to be done to keep Pern united in this time of crisis.

I would argue that this book is the one that truly launches the Drangonriders of Pern series, because here the idea is first proposed to free Pern from the menace of Thread by eliminating it at its source.  In book after wonderful book, Anne McCaffrey explores Pern and serves up wonderful stories of a society moving from a Dark Age to forging a future based on true knowledge of the past. Many of the characters who make it happen are in this book.

Anne McCaffrey's dragon books ring true because of how she envisions the human/dragon bonding.  Her concept of this has proved hugely inspirational to the generation of fantasy writers who followed her.  From Paolini's Eragon to Novik's Temeraire series, writers have created other worlds where humans Impress dragons at hatching in stories that soar to new heights.  This book is the "grandmother" of them all.  Absolutely not to be missed.

This was a great book!  It really kept you guessing and there was plenty of action and intrigue.  I have always loved stories about dragons and this was really great.  I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

"I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review" at the end of your review."

This is a spicy new adventure that Fantasy fans will not want to miss!
There are few creatures that capture the imagination quite like Dragons and Hailey Edwards uses it remarkably. The Dragons in this book are unique and full of life. I really enjoyed getting to know more about them.
Aside from the awesome mythical creatures there is a ton of action in this book that had me on the edge of my seat. Swordplay is one the coolest battles to see or read about in my opinion and this book had some great scenes with Swordplay. I could practically hear the whistle of steal slicing through the air.
Of course my favorite part is always the romance and the chemistry between Lourdes and Rhys is sizzling. These two really know how to heat things up! They also had a great connection that went beyond the physical and I could really believe that they were a perfect match. They complimented each other and seeing them fall in love was one of the best parts of this book!
For an action adventure and a hero with a bit of a biting fetish look no further than "A Hint of Frost".

This book is a terrific read - it's engaging, exciting, and there is plenty to discover along the way as you journey through two worlds - one of dragons and ancient traditions, and the other of modern-day action, suspense and mystery.  One of the best things about this book is that it has something for everyone.  The way the author juxtaposes the past and present lives of the main character let you discover things in an exciting way as you read along.  There is also no shortage of emotion as you experience the loves and desires of the main character throughout.  Great read!

I loved this action filled story.  The character development was top notch.  Raz is an amazing and unique character.  I really liked the development of Raz and Mychal.  If you like action, some fantasy, and great blood thirsty adventure you'll enjoy this book.

I would have liked to seen more witty and tantalizing dialog between Raz and other characters in the last half of the book.  Raz is such an interesting character, having him interact with more characters with some delicious dialog would make the story even better.

Can't wait for the next book.

I'm a huge fan of dragon tales. And even more delighted when the dragons are not the expected fire breathing, maiden eating, animals. The primary heroine of this tale fights terrible enemies. But it isn't until the final battles that she knows what part the dragons play.

Ms. Jensen is a master at grabbing the reader and immersing her in a fully formed world. The adventure is full of twists and turns. Tressa, the primary MC is an original. I wish that this tale had been told solely from Tressa's point of view instead of alternating with Bastian and Connor. Tressa's tale was so interesting, I would have loved the story to have gone even more in depth about her.

That said, the ending of this first of three books leaves the reader with a tantalizing hint of more dragons and adventures to come. And the other two point of view characters ... well, at least one of them is up next.

Dragon Fate by J.D. Hallowell is an excellent fantasy novel.  I actually read this book twice before writing my review and that isn't something that I do all that often due to the length of my TBR list.  I'll have to say that I enjoyed the second reading immensely and easily see this series getting multiple more readings (the second book is just as good) in the future.

I really like the main character Delno.  He is just a good guy and tries to do the right thing to the best of his ability.  He is a famous war hero in his home country, but doesn't use that to really benefit himself in any major way.  One day while trying to find some space to think about his future he runs into a dragon whose rider was killed and wants nothing more that to go off on her own and die.  The issue is that she is with egg and cannot let herself go until she sees to her children.  Delno helps and forms a bond with the egg that he helps deliver and becomes a Dragon Rider.

The relationship between dragon and rider is complex and complete, with each gaining a stronger ability with magic, telepathic communication, and the human getting a vastly longer lifespan.  The fact that Delno raises his dragon, Geneva, from a hatchling allows J.D. to explain the various abilities that dragons have by watching Delno learn them. This prevented a huge info dump slowing down the story, which I always appreciate.

There are also some fantastic secondary characters.  I really liked the way that Delno and Rita get along.  I would have to say that Nat is my favorite though.  The healer is full of surprises and his personality quirks make him amusing at times.

If you are at all a fan of the fantasy genre this is a book you should check out.
