This installment was pretty enthralling as Amel bears the burden of her first message to deliver on behalf of the Dominar. It’s thrilling and emotional, and keeps you wanting more. These are still pretty short “books/novellas/etc.” whatever you want to call them, but if you get them as part of an omnibus in a deal I think they’d be worth it. The narrator is still a disappointment, but the book itself is unique and captivating.
“We each make our own decisions and we stand or fall by the truth of them.”
After the dramatic turn of events in the Dusk Covenant, and all the changes the healing arches brought Amel and her friends, they’ve got to get back on track again. Amel still has an important message to deliver to the General of the Spire, Comard Eaglespring, and they need to tell those in power of all that has happened to them before and on their way there.
Delivering her message is their top priority, but so is keeping Savette and Rakturan hidden from the ones who want to capture and kill them. Being chased by Ifrit’s and those who are disloyal to the Dominar proves to be no easy task, but being dragon riders, they’re used to being in danger. There are traitors and enemies everywhere, and the worse of them all turn up at the Spire the same time they do. What’s worse is they seem to have some very important people on their side.
It seems the prophecies of the Dominion are coming true, but they all mean different things to different people, and it’s easy to twist old words into the truth you want it to be. Both light and dark sides are claiming to have proof of the prophecies becoming reality, but which ones are actually true? Amel Leafbrought has never believed in them, but with everything that has been happening she might be having a change of heart. However, in order to learn them, and fight for their truth, she will have to join the Lightbringers. Can she make such a important decision so quickly?
Although Amel traveled to the Spire to deliver a messge, she receives two letters herself. The first one is full of love, hope and promises – the other is an ominous and dreadful threat that leaves Amel in a “damned if you do, damned if you dont” sort of situation…
First Flight is the seventh instalment of Sarah K.L. Wilson’s Dragon School serial. This is a fast paced YA fantasy story about dragon riders.
Amel still has so much to learn, and I love that, though she isn’t in Dragon Rider school anymore, she’s learning from someone who’s lendendary and known for all his adventures. Amel and Hubric’s master-and-apprentice relationship will grow so much more if Hubric takes Amel on as a lightbringer, and I’m so excited to see how that plays out. She’s learning on the go, and its more than just how to become a dragon rider! Speaking of being a dragon rider, I love that she was trusted (yes, the circumstances were a bit dire and desperate, but still…) to deliver her very first message from the Dominar himself, despite not being a full Dragon Rider.
Prince Rakturan has been quickly going through some major changes too. I love how the author addresses how quickly and dramatically he’s seemingly changed sides, and makes it feel so natural. We get to know him on a deeper level and some of his past behavior was explained (though, not all of it in great detail…). I’m beginning to like him more and I’m interested in seeing how his role will effect the story line – especially with his newfound relationship with Savette and Enkenay.
Some older secondary characters are brought back in this episode, and while I could sort of already see them being on the other side of the war, I’m still surprised by how it all turned out. We do end up losing one of them, and one hand I was kind of sad about it, but on the other I was glad.
I love how the prophecies are coming into play and seeing what they mean to different people of other cultures in this world. I have a good feeling that even though the author is making us think they might be leaning towards a certain answer, we’re going to end up thrown for a serious loop.
As always, each of these novellas ends on an intense cliffhanger, and this one is no different. I can’t wait to see how Amel and her group will react to that threatening letter, and what they’ll run into while delivering their next message.
The Dragon School serial is free on KU!
Amel runs into some interesting complications when she delivers her first letter. With strange things happening and and enemies gaining ground, Amel must decide if she believes in the prophecies and what she will do about it.
Omg what will Sarah think of next. I truly love this series so much First message was chalk full of interesting things like Starie’s eyes being black. I’m really excited for the next book. And that cliffhanger wow
This is the seventh book in the Dragon School series and wow this series just keeps getting better and better. So many of the unanswered questions get answered and we are able to get a clear idea on what is going on. Even though there are answers to questions there are more twist and turns that were unexpected. While some may complain that this book is shorter than the others, I think it was perfect to just catch up on things happening without a forced feeling.
Truth lies beneath the surface…
A really enjoyable and lovable read and series. Truly fantastic.
Two things have become annoying for me: Whenever somebody tells the heroine something she never listens/pay attention to it properly and then she questions it when her dragon or someone else explains it properly because she still does not listen. Sure, of course, you have to question stuff because sometimes you can’t trust their intentions etc but I honestly do not know how to explain it but she has gotten annoying. When the truth is right there in front of her face, she still questions it – annoying. Second, when she asks questions or talks to her dragon, she doesn’t ask him directly, always in the third person – the dragon even snapped at her for this in the first book but she still talks to him like that. Yes, I understand sometimes she asks questions to herself and then he hears and answers her because he knows it but the rest of the time, speak to him directly!
Overall, it is enjoyable. I hope it gets better and this two annoying habits are solved as we progress through the books.
Full of dragons, dragon riders, messages, magic, good versus evil, action, enemies, prophecies and adventure.
Perfect for readers of fantasy reads.
