Well-Written and Highly Immersive Epic Fantasy
WOW. This book deserves the highest of praise! A true epic fantasy with vivid, immersive worldbuilding, a healthy dose of adventure, and DRAGONS. It is clear from reading this how much time the author must have put into planning and creating this high fantasy world, the compelling characters, and the various types of dragons inhabiting it. Absolutely one of my favorite epic fantasy reads to date.

Fun, Unique Read!
I enjoyed this book! It was a really unique and enjoyable take on dragon fantasy. Skalda is a super cool character, really enjoyed her. The author does a great job of immersing you into the story.I did get confused with some of the names and characters, especially the elves. Keeping track of everyone got difficult at times.Ready to read on and find out what happens!

Pulls you in!
I will admit, this book took a few chapters to get me interested. I felt a little overwhelmed by the Norse terminology. Once our MC finds her dragon, though, the book really picks up in pace and keeps you glued to the page with all the action. The fight scenes are very well written; I felt like I could see the battlefield in my mind’s eye. Book 1 ends on a cliff hanger; I can’t wait to read book 2. Definitely a must-read for anyone who loves dragon rider novels.

Love the story
This was a good book from middles to end. The beginning was a little slow and I almost stopped reading, but O am glad I continued. The writing from then in was captivating and the character development was was done. I look foward to reading the next book.

tightly written
What a wild ride! ABoR is unpredictable and intense; I found myself not wanting to put it down, as the story is well-paced and full of action. Reading Skalda’s adventures and trials was entertaining to be sure and I felt as if I was watching a well-produced movie in my mind.Epic in length and scope, with a variety of interweaving plotlines, ABoR is definitely worth the time and investment in reading.I can’t wait to dive in to book two!

Nice Read
I am excited to see where the series goes. Lots of opportunities to be special. Also opportunities to fall off the cliffð

Love me some dragons, and this book satisfies
This book hits me in so many categories I enjoy. Dragons, check. Female protagonist, check. Norse mythology/feel, check. Elves and magic, check. Intentional, understandable motivations on all sizes of the conflict, checkerino. Corrupt political landscape requiring a radical rebellion, big ol’ check.

Disappointed
This is the type of book you should listen to on audible because reading it took forever and I still DNF. There were so many weird names for everything and everyone and half of the time I had to look up pronunciations or descriptions and then I’d loose track of where either was and have to start a page over again.It’s beautifully written with fantastic world building and really fleshed out characters but I just couldn’t get into the book. It felt more of a chore trying to decipher everything and I’ve read romance of the three kingdoms so that should tell you something.

It’s been a while since I’ve been truly sucked in by an epic fantasy. I have two small children now so I’ve definitely been in a lighter phase because they are easier to pick up and put down without getting lost. Well let me tell you I devoured this! I’m going to be honest. I think I picked it up during a kindle sale because it had a dragon on the front and then forgot about it. I had a craving for a dragon book one night and picked this up to test the first few chapters. Before I knew it I was 40% in. I thought about it when I couldn’t read it and completely ignored my husband after the kids went to bed. I loved it! I don’t want to say much about the plot for spoilers, but I did love Eragon when I was younger and this had some of those vibes. I also love a good brother/sister dynamic book so this was great for that (with twists!). Can’t wait to start the next!

Wow! What a complex and densely plotted world! In fact there is so much of it you could see yourself in one of these litRPG games, battling elves and levelling up your dragon. I loved the idea of a dragon having chapters and gaining more chapters to build their ‘story’ and with more experience, battles won, the rider gains access to more spells and dragon fuelled power.I first met Skalda, and fell in love with Bael her dragon, in A Descent of Dragons, (a free prequel if you sign up to Young’s newsletter) and Bael remains as cute and adorable as expected, (his piteous ‘helps’ are heartbreaking!) even though you know he is going to turn into that mighty beast found on the cover. And what a cover! Bael is gorgeous.This story weaves together a complicated world of realms, kings and dominant elves. I have many questions! Lots and lots of questions, beginning with what does Skaldar’s mother know and why the hell didn’t she tell her daughter?All is definitely not as it seems as we venture into the war torn world of realms and kings, where elves dominate and humans toil. There is much to be revealed before we can make sense of it all. I’m not convinced who is ‘good’ and who is ‘bad’ here, though all sides are committing atrocities.Beautifully written, keeps you turning the pages into the early hours. Skaldar is a fearsome heroine and I can’t wait to see how she gets herself and Bael out of the pickle at the end.Can’t wait to read book 2: A Breaking of Kings which is currently on preorder.

I enjoyed this book once I got past the first third of it. I found myself struggling in the first few chapters as the world, the language and the context was really hard to follow. It felt like I was already in the middle of story rather than the beginning. After the first third of the book I started to get the hang of what was going on and got more engrossed in the story. There is a huge settlers of Catan or risk vibe to the book so if you like those board games this book will be enjoyable. It is unique and does not follow other sorts of dragon fantasy books so if you want something new you should give it a read.

Dragon themed books are a frequent these days. I was first entranced by them through the magnificent books by Anne McCaffrey decades ago, and have read many since then. Some been terrific, but many have simply fallen into the same pattern with little to make them stand out. I bought this one as so thing to read over the the next couple of weeks. That was two days ago. This one sucked me in and I couldn’t put it down. I still don’t really know who “the good guys” are! I thought I knew early on, but the characters are so very human and have aspects of both good and bad. All of them think they are doing the right thing. Add in a complicated situation and you just can’t put it down. I loved it…

This book has non stop action, believable characters and a plot that blows my mind. I highly recommend reading it.
