Summary:
Steeped in blood. Ruled by those with dragons.
Cimeren is a world divided by a mysterious forest and the vast Lake on Fire. Suspicion brews on both sides, and the south has fallen into chaos as battles and quarrels rage between kingdoms.
In the border outpost of Nevergrace, Cyran Orendain is dealing with the loss of his brother and his lord as he strives to face the mounting challenges of a squire of the dragonguard.
But when Cyran’s guard-master is called to face the most powerful of the southern kings and bear witness to a secret stolen from the north, Cyran is dragged into a war that has been bubbling under the surface for centuries.
Dragons are not only weapons—they are engines of war. And even though Cyran is not trained in the ways of the dragonguard, he must adapt and learn to become one of them or his homeland and all of Cimeren will be destroyed.
But he was not born a champion.
He may break, and he will bleed.
Review:
Firstly thank you to Love Books Tours and RM Schultz for having me on this read-along and for sending me a copy of the book.
So I've been lucky this year this is my second well-written dragon fantasy that I've been lucky enough to read( and both of them were provided by Love Books Tours) They both have dragon riders as their main focus/character so it would have been easy to compare them and maybe end up liking one less but both authors have created amazing worlds.
I really enjoyed the cover artwork and my only issue with the inner artwork was that it was in black and white because I've seen the stunning colour versions on Amazon and I just wish we had had them in the book. I loved how many different voices we heard in the alternating chapters, especially as for some of them you're not quite sure how they fit into the "Main" storyline with Cyran. I so enjoyed that slowly unravelling and how vastly different their thoughts on what was happening were, especially between Cryan and his sister at the midpoint in the book(trying not to give anything away here).
I've loved learning about the different dragons, Cyran obviously gives us brilliant information about the ones he comes into regular contact with but it was nice to hear about others that he doesn't normally see when he encounters them.
As I said it's a really well-formed world that is well-written and I've enjoyed starting to learn about it, i expected ill learn even more when I delve into the other books in the series.
