High-born Agathea Flamma intends to bring honor to her family by following in her brothers’ footsteps and taking her rightful place as a Dragon Rider. With her only other option being marriage, Thea will not accept failure. She’s not thrilled at her awkward, scruffy partner, Seb, but their dragon has chosen, and now the unlikely duo must learn to work as a team. Seventeen-year-old Sebastian has long been ashamed of his drunken father and poor upbringing, but then he’s chosen to train as a Dragon Rider at the prestigious academy. Thrust into a world where he doesn’t fit in, Seb finds a connection with his dragon that is even more powerful than he imagined. Soon, he’s doing all he can to succeed and not embarrass his new partner, Thea. When Seb hears rumors that an old danger is reemerging, he and Thea begin to investigate. Armed only with their determination and the dragon they both ride, Thea and Seb may be the only defense against the Darkening that threatens to sweep the land. Together, they will have to learn to work together to save their kingdom…or die trying.
Don’t Waste Your Time and Money Story is decent, but VERY poorly edited to the point of being almost unreadable: misspelled words, places where two sentences are mixed up together and make no sense, words left out. I do understand that people self-publish, but this author should have spent some time proofreading to catch some of these errors. Was so hard to read that I will not be buying Book 2.
I wanted to like it and finish it but I could not I wanted to like it and finish it but I could not. The main character is awful, I get it she is a snob but at some point you think she would start to be nice to Seb whom I liked. But no as soon as you think she is going to be kind to him she accuses him of being a drunk, and that is when I deleted the book and could not read anymore.Â
Low Fantasy setting with Dragons Overall it is a fun and quick read. You have two primary characters (Seb & Thea) and the point of view switches between them throughout the book. Which I feel was handled well and helped drive things forward giving you an attachment to both of them. Thea comes from a one of the oldest Noble families in the country, and though the character is annoying sometimes they are true to their background. Seb is your standard nice kid from a poor background troupe, the upside he actually sucks at…
