This librarian loves to find a new dragon series and this one is a winner! Jaevid is a character that readers will be rooting for from the very beginning--loving mother dies, forced to live with a birth father who doesn't want him, no money, no hope of a future....But tides turn and Jaevid ends up at a dragon rider academy, finds friends (and enemies) of human and dragon-kind, and a whole new series filled with dragons, magic, elves, battles and all things fantasy opens up. I read through all 4 volumes in the series quickly and immediately tried to find them in hardcover for my junior high library. Sadly, paper and Kindle are the only formats, but if fans of dragon-lore spread the word, maybe new editions will come out in hardcover. Because Conway does not include unnecessary profanity or sexual innuendo, this series would be appropriate for any reader of the genre who can handle the likely reading level of grade 6ish and a length of 300+ pages, but probably best suited for grades 6 and up.

Fledgling The Dragonrider Chronicles Nicole Conway Books Reviews

This is a very captive book once one gets into it. The only reason I gave it a four instead of a five, is that at first it did not get my attention until a few chapters into it. This is a very easy book to read. With the book's title I was expecting something on the line like in Dragon Riders of Pern, That this book as a little disappointing, in that the story line was a slow start. However, it's not like Dragon Riders of Pern at all. Complete difference style of writing. Over all a good read and the sequels pick up right where the previous volume left off. That I like
This dragon-rider fantasy has the necessary elements young, abused child, chance encounter with untamable dragon, academy for training, evil guys in masks, conspiracies, etc. And the writing is clean and doesn't lose its way. But lots of this book seems formulaic and predictable. The characters have potential, but they are left undeveloped. Point of evidence I was shocked to turn the page and see "The End"--almost as if this book is Prologue.
On the upside, there was enough potential here that I will probably give book 2 a shot to see if it develops.
From beginning to end this is an easy afternoon read. Seeing as this is a fantasy for adolescents to young adults I have to give it a five star rating for what it is. The fantasy does feel a little short but it also has an epic feel to it. The author does a great job in showing us the tip of the iceberg without going into a great deal of information dumping. It is easy to imagine world as it feels real and vibrant. I'm not sure how long the series actually is but again it is a perfect little book for adolescence to young adults looking for an easy and entertaining read. There is enough depth to the story to be entertaining to all ages.
As to be expected for the target age of the story there is no foul language and while the action scenes are intense and they are a few graphic injuries and obvious death it is a pretty clean story.
I would give this book 5 stars except for the fact that each book in a series really should be able to satisfactorily stand on its own or there should be an indication up front that the book isn't a stand-alone. If I'd only had this first book, I might have felt a bit frustrated when I finished it. Thankfully, I had the whole set and could continue on.

All that said, however, I'd still give it more than 4.5 stars. I couldn't help but root for Jaevid from the beginning. His entry into the dragon rider academy, filled with hope and fear and all the challenges of relationships (human or otherwise) rang true no matter what world you inhabit. He and his pal Felix drew me into their world and I couldn't wait to see what happened.

The author's writing is strong and the pace is good. I hadn't read anything by her before, but I'll sure be checking out some of her other titles.

The Dragonrider Chronicles, Book 1
By Nicole Conway
Narrated by Jesse Einstein
This is a charming story of the underdog saving the day! I love those kind of stories and especially those with dragons. It is more for middle grade and teens but I certainly enjoyed the story too.
If you love action, adventure, dragons, and suspense then this is for you! I loved the closeness of the dragon and rider bond. Great characters and plot. Well done.
The narrator was perfect for this story! Great with the voices and keeping the story flowing just right! (or flying just right!)
Adults will like it too, but will find it feels a little abbreviated. The emotion in the book is definitely not abbreviated. There are parts that will bring tears to the eyes, the emotion is so well written. One would think that Ms Conway has experienced the rejection and isolation of her protagonist herself!
Young people well enjoy this book because the descriptive language is short and concise and the action is fast-paced and very original.
I highly recommend this book for young adults, and I even think adults would enjoy it if they are in the mood for a light and quick diversion into fantasy.
You could use this book to illustrate the difference between a really good writing and a hack. This author is very VERY good. Yes, this book follows a very common fantasy formula hero is outcast; has unique skill that gets him training; must learn to find acceptance and overcome self-doubt; proves to be brave and resourceful. BUT the story is incredibly engaging and the author creates characters and situations that keep you turning the page till the end and then you immediately buy books 2 and 3 and put yourself on the waiting list for book 4.

I won't spoil the story. I just want to assure you that books 2 and 3 continue the story in the same "can't put it down" engaging way. You aren't just reading a rehash.

Besides, the first book is only 99 cents on and the rest of them are pretty inexpensive as well. You've got nothing to lose by trying and if you like fantasy, you'll be happy.
