The Blue Dragon's Geas #1
Outcast
This debut into the coming of age fantasy genre has made a definite splash. A wondrous mixture of the childlike main character and mature themes to quote one five star reviewer. Alador, a young man who cannot find a way to fit into the world about him, finds himself thrust into the limelight. With a brand new world, new customs and of course dragons, Outcast offers something for both epic fantasy and coming of age readers.
Alador wants nothing more then to fit into the world that rejects him due to his mixed heritage. He does not fit into the world of his mother and he can't seem to bring to life the power of his father. And then of course, there is a girl.
Renamaum, a great blue dragon, wants to restore the pact between man and dragon that time and greed have erased. He petitions the council to find one who will fight for the future of both dragon and mortal.
Both come crashing together when Alador is caught in a geas so strong that neither could abandon it, even in death.

A dazzling debut that will delight fans of “Eragon” and Dragon tales
This exciting, new Young Adult novel brilliantly combines classic high fantasy with an intriguing backdrop. A coming-of-age tale that transports you on a fantastical journey, where dreams and reality merge together in the most remarkable way! As a fan of Harry Potter, Dragons and popular Inheritance Cycle I was very interested by this new work that captured my imagination instantly. Outcast: book 1 of the Blue Dragon’s Geas is an inspired work of extraordinary premise that sets the standard high for book 2.
The hero of this tale Alador is a deeply complex, fascinating character whose search for a sense of acceptance in life is admirable. When he encounters blue Dragon Renamaum it is the start of a powerful bond and magnetic partnership… The future for both Dragons and mortals is an uncertain one, with their link being erased over time. Both the hero and his Dragon go on an epic, unforgettable quest to fight for both mortal and beast to coexist harmoniously within a magical world.
At times I felt as though I had plunged into an original ‘take’ on Christopher Paolini’s Eragon, although somewhat different on world-building and the history behind the Dragon – human relationship. Cheryl’s inspired concepts and vivid settings encapsulate a sublime fantasy setting, in which many spellbinding discoveries are just waiting to be had. I was most impressed by this enjoyable first novel of such scope, which is set to be the beginning of something vast and of great magnitude. This book is ideal for the young reader who delights in action-packed, magical stories containing colourful fire-breathing Dragons.
As a first novel I would rate this at 3. 5 stars

Cheryl Matthynssens is a master of her craft. She suspends her readers’ disbelief early on with exquisite detail in her opening four chapters about the Daezun, from the structure of their village through the appearance and habits of the korpen (their beasts of burden) to the distinct advantages of Ketchen’s lucrative invention of a more efficient plowhead. The way the Daezun control the lives of everyone in their community reminded me of Lois Lowry’s “The Giver” (one of my favourite children’s books). You see and hear and taste and touch and feel this place and everyone in it.
The characterisation is assured. The main character has the classic elements of the legendary hero: an outsider in childhood, apparently clumsy – less adroit than the practical, efficient, ‘pure-bred Daezun’ (his father was Lerdenian, a race skilled in magic). Alador has hidden strengths which he doesn’t understand, and has been chosen by a dragon for an essential mission: to persuade different races and classes of creature to respect their differences. His mother is down-to-earth, solid and lacking in patience (she has a hard time waiting for water to boil), yet loving her children equally, and the square peg Alador for being so obviously his father’s son.
Of course for evil to be overcome it has first to be present and personified. The bullying oaf Trelmar in the Daezun village who made Alador’s childhood a misery is nothing compared to the calculatingly cruel, self-regarding Luthian, Minister of Silverport, the fifth and highest tier in the Lerdenian hierarchy. He it was who instigated the practices that led to the birth of the cross-breed Alador. He has his own plan to use such well-trained outcasts in his scheme for world domination…
I found myself looking forward to the unfolding of this story chapter by chapter. I was also taken by the idea that all magic originated with dragons and only harvested by humans through the pain and death of these magnificent creatures. Do read this book: it’s a great story, and you are in safe hands. What’s more, there’s a sequel…

This was a great read.... But I almost didn't bother because it's targeted/marketed all wrong.
So let's fix that, this deserves a much bigger audience.
Title: Geas?! Jeezus, sounds like an old women's problem. Outcast (Dragon Bond #1) or Banished (Dragonsworn #1)...
Cover: Looks like a shawl some hippy blue-rinse brigade would wear. Watercolour is weak. Strong lines needed. See Summer Dragon, Todd Lockwood or,
Blurb: Made it sound like some self-help book for ethnics of low self-esteem. Needs to be much more grandiose, i.e. more generic/clichéd:
A boy, a dragon, a destiny that will shatter two nations. Outcast teen Alador scrapes a living on the fringes of his village, only espying his true love from afar ... Until he unearths the mother of all bloodstones. The bond he will form will shatter his peaceful village life and shake the very foundations of society...
Author's name: Need a nom de plume. I said it. The elephant in the room needs a new pen-name. Because Mattthyesson or whatever will get you no Google hits because it's simply too hard to spell, straight into the too hard basket. Even Sherill has too many variations. I suggest C.J. March, C.J Trask...
Hide the fact you're a female. Normally that would annoy the hell out of me -- impedes my vetting process—but this is actually a male-friendly book (congratulations), with credible romance, revenge, building, hardwork, dragons, even a blacksmith.
Make those cosmetic changes and get the readership you deserve.

I very much enjoyed this book; once I picked it up I could barely put it down, and ended up finishing it in just a couple days. I think that spending so much time building the world around the main character was well worth the effort - it made me really appreciate not only the main character, but also the supporting characters (and even the minor characters). I really felt like I was immersed in this world; I could imagine the scenery and how the characters interacted with it.
That said, this wasn't what I expected when I picked up the book, and I'm not sure if such extensive world-building would be appealing for the audience as a whole. I expected something akin to Eragon - a good portion of the book spent building the characters and their homes and history, then something momentous happens that sends the main character on a grand adventure. With Outcast, the momentous things happened and that changed how the character was perceived, but the grand adventure seems to have been saved for the next book. I liked this; it wrapped up nicely by the end of Outcast and gives the next book a good place to start.
One last thing that is more technical than story based: I probably would have given the book another pass or two for editing. The language felt very formal in most places and that broke the immersion for me a little; the setting didn't seem to fit the formal use of language, particularly since there were a couple of parts where narration was informal, and that REALLY stood out in comparison. And then there were some sentence structure and grammatical things that got me and my inner grammar teacher out of sorts - a few fragments and misplaced question marks, as well as some oddly written sentences here and there.
Other than that, however, I really enjoyed Outcast and can't wait for the next book!

I must say that reading this book was thoroughly enjoyable. Cheryl Matthynssens is very good at creating a world worth investing in, and discovering. She pulled me in with fascinating characters, who have such depth to them. A wonderful culture and history that begs for more to be revealed, for the mysteries to be laid bare. The relevancy of the main character's tale as he comes of age, and seeks his place in his world can be related to by all in some form or another. The trials they face, how the characters relate and respond, these are all qualities of this book. I raged with them, I felt the sting of tears as their hearts were wrenched. By the end of the book I felt as if I had walked beside these men and women. Lived their story. I look forward eagerly and impatiently to the next books, and the continuation of such an engrossing tale.

I'm really glad I joined goodreads. I've read such a wide variety of books that I would of walked by in a library or a book store. This is one of them and I really ended up enjoying it. I know it suppose to be a coming of age book for the younger crowd but books are suppose to be a get away. When my grand children get into their teens, I've got quite a selection of books for them to read. This was a sweet story about love and family with fantasy added and I'm hoping for a second book to come out.

A world so in depth it can be compared to "The chronicles of ancient darkness." This thrilling story of a young man and his adventures in a place where he doesn't quite fit. Following him through his trials in love and life and the mysteries beyond make this book a real page turner. I fully recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys letting go and immersing themselves into a story. 10/10 everyone should get themselves a copy and give it a read.

Refreshingly Different
Outcast is a interesting tale written in a way that draws you into the story, feeling the emotions, pains, & anguish in a world in which you can hear the sounds and smell the surroundings. The story combines a bit of mystery, romance, drama, and suspense in a storyline that is refreshingly different from the typical dragon story. I enjoyed this book very much.

Very well written story was very well laid out and held your interest. I love the way the story was structured. Could not put it down once I started reading. I was surprised at the ending. There has to be a sequel coming out (please) hope its soon cant wait for the next book. Mrs Matthynssens is a excellent writer.
September 8, 2016
For a first offering from this author, Outcast has risen to the occasion of being a great fantasy. You are immediately entranced by the setting and characters, and develop a bond with the main protagonist, Alador. It was hard for me to put the book down, even as I read it for a second time. A very well written, self-published book. I look forward to the next installment of this series.
March 12, 2016
An amazing start to the series, this novel lays out the groundwork without any of the feel of "grinding" you sometimes get. The setting is unique but still feels like home. Love it, so looking forward to reading the rest!

Interesting!
Styles of life, history, speech, and politics make this story a fresh and interesting read. It starts slowly, but that's just to let everyone catch up before it whisks us into the deeper plot... and book #2. Recommended for teens and above.

Great beginning to what looks to be a good series. I enjoyed the villain, he is someone who I can love to hate and look forward to his hopeful eventual demise.

Summary: Coming of age type story with dragons. Well thought out plot, interesting premise and but not particularly endearing characters. 3.5 stars, and I'll probably read the next book (but no hurry)
Plotline: Well thought out although maybe a little linear, but works well with the premise
Premise: Interesting magic system and interesting set of peoples, more to be revealed
Writing: Good characterisations, simple but not very subtle.
Ending: The title says it all.
Pace: Never a dull moment!

Wonderful High Fantasy Slightly Dark PG 17
This story was a very entertaining interesting fast paced action packed story of a young man who is a half breed who is bullied at home, and in the city. He is in love with his childhood sweetheart but only gets to be with the village cougar to make him a man. Dragons are killed to power magical abilities. Great Story.

It is young adult, but it would not have been so bad if there had been any editing. It reads like an OCR transcription from the early 2000s with arbitrary punctuation and really strange word choices. The audiobook was on sale (and the narration was just weird), so I bought the synced ebook. The punctuation made the weird narration of the audiobook bearable by comparison.
The protagonist is a headstrong youth relegated to the margins of the community because of his heritage. He doesn't start off as headstrong, but this trait develops suddenly and becomes his defining characteristic. The trait shapes the story.
Bottom line: I read/listened to the book out of desperation, but I don't regret it as the series gets better, both in terms of editing and in how compelling the tale gets. (The narration of the audiobook goes from weird, unnatural inflections to you've-got-to-be-kidding-me-if-you-think-I'll-believe-a-human-is-reading-this.)

Audio book review.
The first time I read this, I DNF'd, because I couldn't stand how much emphasis was put on the mating ceremony and talking about breeding women like they were livestock. I gotta say, re-reading my old review (since deleted, for some reason) was the only way I was able to make it through this time. SOOOO much emphasis on sex and mating, it's ridiculous. The dragon only shows up in the story maybe twice, and only so you can see that he and the boy are connected. The rest is the boy having sex with an elder of the tribe who is emphasized looks really good for her age, not old and like a crone at all! and this stupid rivalry with a fellow boy over who gets to flirt with the pretty child. Overall, just icky, not liking how this book made me feel.

An excellent book and great story that has a good foundation
I very much enjoyed reading this book and experiencing the main characters growth. the writer has taken her time to create the main character in depth and creates an attachment to them.
I guess some have said that this book is like eragorn, but it is not far from it. to say that this book is like eragron would be like saying Robert Jordan's first book wheel of time series reads almost like fellowship of the rings. this book is unique and this first book gives an excellent foundation do build on.

I loved the story settings and characters but I felt book was dragged too much and only acted as introduction to the series.
I personally like to see a surprise or some possible twist for the ending but I saw this book ending miles away so I was bit disappointed.
I have high hopes for second book since first book has been introduced us to the story now I hope real action will take place on the second book.

"Everything has its place...everything but me." Alador sighed to himself as he sat on the cliff's edge looking down at the valley.
...Seriously?
Then his eyes sparked like stars.
I'm terribly sorry, but that's when I know I'd be laughing too much to get into the story itself.

A great read, engaging, delightful, compelling!
The heartwarming tale of a half-breed boy, Alador, who is caught between two very different kingdoms. One kingdom reveres dragons and seeks to protect them while the other will do anything to acquire the magical properties of their blood.

The entire book is prologue for a series. And even with a full book, I don't care enough about the characters to want to bother reading more.
Add in some typos, a cliche evil rapist bad guy (two of those technically), and little plot, and it's definitely not a series to bother continuing to spend time on.

Alador
I found this book interesting. There are two cultures of people those with magic and those without. Alador had dreams of being "normal" settling down and raising a family. All had enemies because of his mixed heritage and the one he loved got hurt. Will Alador always be an outcast? Perhaps the next book in the series will have a happier ending.

Well Thought Out and Entertaining
This reminds me of all the great stories I read to my sons and I loved the memories in the midst of a great series. I will be purchasing the remaining books so I can see how Alador grows into his magic and finds a way back to his family and love.

It's a good book, I just feel like the whole book is just one big prologue. Nothing really happened until the last couple of chapter.
