The Aader: Dragondaire Trilogy, Book I

by Brian Wong

Out-far, far, out-beyond where any of your friends have gone, lies Dragondaire. If you were to go there, you would see a world that resembled the human world as it was way back when there were castles, slaves, kings, queens you know the rest. But anybody who lived there long enough would realize the many differences from the world they came from.

There would be trees in the shape of people, uncountable fires raging in the woods, and many prisons all around. Most people wouldn't have to eat for days on end, and you might even see a dragon flying high above the trees.

Sixteen-year-old Aaden Oaks, a simple farm boy, leaves his home and family in search of fortune and adventure. He and his friends discover a world of adventure as they traverse exotic lands complete with dragons, elves, dwarves, and other magical creatures.

Aaden discovers that he has magical powers and quickly learns how to use them. He even finds his own personal dragon. But danger looms on the horizon in an epic battle between good and evil, and there can be only one winner

[E · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read this book in paperback, when it first came out, as someone gave me a signed copy of it. When I read this book I believe that the author was something like 14 years old, and that alone was impressive. The story line was well thought out, and while the book was short I did find it enjoyable. I always hoped there would be a second book, as the story was never finished, but I do not hold my breath. I think while the idea of "dragon riders" is not new the approach this book takes to it was quite interesting.
