In the first book in an exciting and charming new coming-of-age fantasy series from the author of the Age of Fire series, an impoverished girl enters into a military order of dragonriders, but her path won't be as easy or as straightforward as she expected. Fourteen-year-old Ileth grew up in an orphanage, and thanks to her stutter was never thought to be destined for much beyond kitchen work and cleaning. But she's dreamed of serving with the dragons ever since a childhood meeting with a glittering silver dragon and its female dragoneer. For years she waits, and as soon as she is old enough to join, Ileth runs away to become a novice dragoneer at the ancient human-dragon fortress of the Serpentine. While most of her fellow apprentices are from rich and influential families, Ileth must fight for her place in the world, even if it includes a duel with her boss at the fish-gutting table. She's then sent off to the dragon-dancers after a foolish kiss with a famously named boy and given charge of a sickly old dragon with a mysterious past. But she finds those trials were nothing when she has to take the place of a dead dragoneer and care for his imprisoned dragon in enemy lands. . . .

Was planning to start a GOT reread but got distracted by Novice Dragoneer which I had picked up for my daughter. She‘s currently reading something else, so I‘m diving in!

Wow @PurpleTulipGirl you spoiled me! What a cute K to eat and those hazelnuts and toffee and a bag of Ghiradelli and other small chocolates! Yum yum! I cannot wait to read this book! I love anything with dragons and this one has been on my radar for a while! ❤️ thank you Sue for everything! #jolabokaflodswap @MaleficentBookDragon

mom2bugnbee Wait... The K is edible? What is it? 👀 4y
PurpleTulipGirl I‘m glad it all made it safely. I was really hoping the K wouldn‘t break. @mom2bugnbee The K is chocolate with sprinkles and mini candies on top. 4y

Here is #2 on my list! This series actually just recently hit my radar and after reading the first book it shot to the top of my list! It's absolutely amazing! A competitive dragon riding academy, a gloriously strong underdog female protagonist, and some of the BEST human/dragon interactions I have ever read. If you love dragons, you HAVE to read this series!

This book deserves ALL THE STARS! I am seriously mad at myself for not reading it earlier because it is certainly one of the best books I've read this year! Exciting storytelling, fantastic character development, a competitive academy setting, and did I mention dragons?! 🐉💕📚 I had a hard time putting this one down! I can't wait to read the sequel!

GingerAntics This one has been on my wish list for a while now. I‘m going to have to get it now. 4y
Branwen @GingerAntics I was not expecting to love it this much! I think you'd really enjoy it! 4y

Whoops! I forgot a couple dragon books for the first picture! 🤣😂 @Meaw_catlady

And I just realized I STILL forgot to put Priory of the Orange Tree in here! 🙊

I am just a little bit ridiculous when it comes to dragons and dragon books! 😅🐉📚💕

Meaw_catlady I really love the art on those top three!!!! ❤️💕🐉 5y
Branwen @Meaw_catlady Right?! Same here! It's what initially drew me to this series in the first place! 🐉💗 5y

This book disappointed me. It was entertaining enough to keep reading, but after reading so many books lately where women are allowed to just be people, it was exhausting to get through one where the protag is the One Exceptional Cool Girl In The Whole World. I said I would have loved this as a kid, but having read it I don't think so. Also I honestly didn't find the characters that compelling.

Got N covered for #LitsyAtoZ though!

Increasingly mixed feelings about this book for reasons too complicated to get into in this space, but I'm a little annoyed by the recurrence of this sort of thing. On a character's first appearance the author will describe them as having an unusual manner of speech, they'll demonstrate it in one sentence if at all, and it will never appear again. It's hard to convey this sort of thing without becoming annoying, sure, but this isn't even trying.

craftysilicate It probably wouldn't bother me as much if every character didn't speak in basically the same voice, but here we are. Obviously overwritten dialect or accents are also bad, but you can convey a unique or nonstandard speech pattern without being annoying! It is possible! 5y

I'm almost 200 pages into this book and so far there have been two of these footnotes, which I am uncertain about--they're rare enough to feel out of place when they show up and because I'm the worst they raise questions for me about whether I'm supposed to read this book as an in-universe document or not. Overall a good read though, so far.

effani That is a really strange editorial choice! 5y

On a more positive note, I'm excited about this book! It's definitely something I would have been deeply obsessed with if it had existed when I was a kid, and though I'm less than a chapter in I'm really enjoying it so far.
