The characters, the web of deceit, but best of all the author is a literary genious.

The suspense

It is my current read, a real meaty story about one man's quest for independence in a tough and bleak rural world. Based in Iceland.

My favourite book series growing up, every time I pick up one of these I can't put it down till I've finished it. You follow the journey of a farm boy who bonds with a dragon and is pulled head first into a world full of magic, rebellion and war.

Strong FMC raised in the slums, dark, tense and snarky humour followd by trials where nobody is safe. Each participant has bonded with a dire wolf and is granted magical abilities, to be used on the front lines of an ongoing war.

A more adult version of the inheritance cycle, dark and full of twists. Students who've bonded with dragons compete in a series of life-threatening tasks at a school for riders, training to fight in a war.

This series left me emotionally damaged.. yet I still can't wait to do it all over again when the third book comes out. Great FMC, character development and world building, spicy at times and enough twists and turns to keep you guessing.

I first read this series in my early teens and awaited each new release with bated breath! They are incredible, I have never read anything like them. Fantasy, dragons, magic, friendships, family, battles etc, this story has it all

This book is unlike anything else I have read. I found it to be totally unique, and utterly gripping. It made me laugh, it made me cry; the story itself is so immersive. I would say it wasn't any easy read in that it is quite complex, but well worth it

It is an amazing series, with so many great characters and a great story. I’ve loved it since I was a teenager and it’s still one of my favourites. If you like fantasy and dragons, it’s the best book to read.
