pickThis was an amazing read.
I had always enjoyed, during my Dragon obsession years, watching dragons. This is my first book with a deeply dragon infused storyline and I absolutely loved it.
Thorn had me smitten🐉💖, and this world is incredible!
This is a quest story. Murtagh, half-brother of Eragon, follows a path of clues that lead him to a witch who he must outwit.

My current reads...
I've finished Murtagh, which I will review this weekend.
Just realized the book, To Shape A Dragon's Breath is 511 pages...a BitsyChunkster! It's the first book in its series.
The long awaited (for me to purchase) Bless Me, Ultima. A standalone novel.
The Third Book in the Riley Thorn mysteries.
The Sixth Book in the Old Kingdom series.
Last night, made it to page 20 of 705 pages...the beginnings of an epic 🥳🐉📚💝.
It's early, yet loving this. Like how Murtagh can communicate with his dragon.
Chunkster Tip
If reading a Chunkster before bed, try not to doze off...705 pages wrapped in hardcover becomes mighty hazardous when it smashes onto your face 😂📚💝.

Thank you @TheSpineView for creating this fun play-card & for the tag 🥳🎊🐎💝.
1- was considering rereading the Old Kingdom Books by Garth Nix this year, still need the latest book. 😉📚💝.
2- once I've finished with my current reads:
I am most excited to begin: Murtagh by Christopher Paolini, The Half King by Melissa Landers, and continuing the Riley Thorn Mysteries by Lucy Score.
👇
Can't Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne reignited my love for Dragons 🐲💝.
Except, I can't find any dragons among my books! I must have them packed in storage where books (both read and unread) from my younger years have been stashed away.
Although 🤔, my dragon obsession from years ago may have been focused on movie dragons. Less for the dragons and more for the gorgeous men (knights) who were usually cast in such movies 😍😂.

I've never read the the Eragon books, and I was worried about being able to understand the characters and overall story. This was wonderful because it gave the info needed to be able to read as a standalone. It does hint at more books.

This was not 705 pages (I read about 601 pages). There's some back content before the bonus content of this deluxe edition. About 14 pages plus 90 pages I skipped (after Murtagh gets Thorn and himself captured by the witch). This is, therefore, more of a Bitsy Chunster than a Chuckster Patite for #ChunksterChallenge2025
