Great!

There are very few stories suitable for most ages, this is one. Like other fantastical tales of bravery and challenge, this one is written in a way that entrances adults while still being approachable to younger readers, 10+

The Hopebringer

Amel is sent to the desert county of Baojang on a mission to gain allies. Not understanding the the language and customs, she finds much more than she bargained for. I like the action, humor, intrigue, and romance. I find reading this compendium very entertaining and gripping. I look forward to the next book.

The story continues

Once again, this book picks up exactly where the last bundle of stories ended. This book was a bit tough to read because it is all about the war in the Dominion. It’s pretty dark and often depressing. Amel deals with one hardship after another. I was increasingly frustrated by the fact that people rarely acknowledge all the good that Amel does. It seems like this poor girl does so much and is often overlooked. On the other hand, it is great to see how much she has grown in confidence and skill. I can’t wait to see how this series ends.

I have trouble putting the book down, that being said I put it down a couple of time because I was MAD. The story had situation that caused me to be angry/frustrated, and just wanted get away. So later I would pick it back up because I just had to continue, fight trough the tough part and keep going.

Dragon School: Bright Hopes is Book 11 and another episode full of adventure with twists and turns and a smidgen of romance. The battle rages on as the Dusk Covenant twist their lies to look like truths. They grow stronger and the people foolishly follow. With zeal, the Lightbringers are hunted down and killed. The Dominar is not who he seems to be. Savette is dying. Just when things are at their darkest, a spark of bright hope appears.

This series is full of quotable quotes. Sometimes I like to share one or two. Here's one from Bright Hopes. Raolcan is speaking to Amel:
“Then take your heart in hand and bend it the right way, Amel…. It’s up to you to manage your heart and to make it bend to your will, not the other way around.”

Dragon School: Mark of Loyalty is Book 12. Amel is loyal to the truth when the masses are supporting a lie. Standing up for what she believes in by supporting Shonan also puts her at odds with Hubric, but especially with Leng. She's made tough choices before and she'll do it again. Savette has her own battles to fight. Will their collective efforts be enough?

Dragon School: Dire Quest is Book 13. I'm having so much fun reading this page-turner fantasy series! The title of the 13th book is apt. Amel's quest certainly is dire! While her friends are busy saving the kingdom on their own missions, she's headed into unknown territory along with her faithful dragon to raise up an army to help fight the terrible Ifrits, but she must follow the path that is left to legend with only clues to guide them. Will they make it across? And once they get there, will she manage to convince them to help when she doesn't even speak the language?

Dragon School: Ancient Allies is Book 14. Amel and Raolcan are tasked with delivering a message, but end up way over their heads. Nothing goes as planned and Amel gets herself into a difficult situation (which was not completely her own fault) with really no way out. Raolcan doesn't seem too bothered by her predicament, but even he can't anticipate how bad things are going to get!

Dragon School: Pipe of Wings is Book 15. Author Sarah K.L. Wilson says this is her favorite cover design and many of her fans (like me) agree! Did you know that Sarah has been doing her own covers for this series? The amount of creative talent and passion that she puts into each Dragon School episode is impressive.

Amel and her friends continue to persevere despite the impossible situations they find themselves in. Amel is now a slave and has to do the bidding of the Prince of Baojang, a woman who likes the title and authority that comes with it. Amel is sent to the Dominion on a mission and discovers the pipe of wings has been mistakenly left in her dragon's saddle bag. It makes her new mission that much more interesting. Unfortunately for her, she's not only become a slave, but she's also now addicted to the water of Baojang. Follow Amel and Raolcan into their next adventure!

I received eARCs of these books. These are my honest and voluntary reviews.

Dragon School: Episodes 11–15

The writing in episodes 11–15 of Dragon School remains strong. The pacing is good, the world is still engaging, and the story continues to move quickly. However, this installment took a direction I personally struggled with.

I didn’t like the turn where Amel becomes enslaved. It was unsettling and hard to read, especially given her strength and growth as a character. What bothered me most was Raoclan’s apparent acceptance of her enslavement and his tolerance and acceptance of Jalla (their enslaver)the corrupt and arrogant leader of BaoJang. .While the bond between Amel and Raoclan remains intact, his willingness to exist within that system without resistance was deeply uncomfortable as a reader, as it seemed to go against the character traits of the prince dragon.

The ending is especially grim. Raoclan loses an eye, and Amel is left with both legs no longer working. The introduction of the magical horn adds intrigue, but it comes at a heavy physical and emotional cost for both of them. Rather than feeling suspenseful, the conclusion felt bleak.

The writing itself is still good, and I remain invested in the story, but this section was difficult for me to enjoy. I’m hoping the next episodes shift the focus toward recovery, purpose, and a stronger sense of justice after such a brutal turn.

This is an excellent continuation of the Dragon School series.

This is the omnibus for four of the novellas, and I enjoyed having them bound in one volume. However, the individual books are very short, and I think they would be enjoyable for hesitant readers who are intimidated by larger books, but would like a slightly more mature content. It's nice that this series is available in both formats.

It is also a nice read for my 11-year old, who is ready to begin reading books with slightly more mature themes, but isn't necessarily ready for Heavy Topics. This book doesn't shy away from hinting at certain themes - disability, slavery, love, addiction, racism, and self-sacrifice are all approached in the series - but it is done in a matter-of fact way that doesn't feel confrontational or stressful for young readers. When these things are set in a fantasy world, it makes them much less scary and easier to process. (And example of how one of these themes is approached: our protagonist is traveling to another county, and learns that the drinking water there has addictive properties, and finds herself compelled to carry the water with her when she returns home while she figures out how to wean herself off of it.)

Oh my. This series is amazing. My kids and I are still reading through and will finish the last set soon. There is so much going on with Amel, Roc, Huberic, Sevet, Lang....I love them all. We even meet some scary crazy new characters. There are some seriously ingenious things that the author comes up with to save the day at times, but that being said, our hero doesn't always win. There is a ton going on including travel to a different country.
I love the twists the author throws in and some of the new characters are really great. Some of them not so much but it does make things even more interesting to see how Amel is going to get out of certain scrapes. I love how devoted she is to her friends, her cause, and her dragon. I can't believe I haven't mentioned Reyolken (sp?) yet. He is still amazing and really the one who keeps Amel alive more often than not, but she does return the favor occasionally.
It is a solid 5/5 for my family.

Thank you to the author for the review copy of this audiobook. I received this book in exchange for an honest review and the opinions stated above are 100% mine.

Amel has been healed by a dying Savette.
Amel and Hubric take the Dominar to the nearest Skycity only to be detained on His orders but is it the real Dominar?
With the dragons caged with threats to harm their riders if they misbehave, Amel and friends are under arrest along with many others for being Lightbringers.
Shonan is added to the same cage as Amel and Hubric and helps Amel to revive and heal Savette. Amel learns that the wearer of the Mask of the Dominar IS the Dominar; regardless of who is wearing it.
After being rescued Amel and Co. head to the land of the Dragons as all loyal Dragons have been recalled by Haz'Drazen.
Savette challenges Starie and a fight breaks out between the two of them.

Savette splits up the group giving each member a job to do, Amel is sent to find Rakturan and ask him to join up with Savette and to bring allies.

Amel and Raolcan travel to the land of Baojang.
How does she end up being a slave to one of the Baojang nobility and still manage help Rak to obtain an ancient Artifact?

So so soooo so good! I will review each of these 'episodes' individually, but I'm really enjoying this series! Every time I pick up a new episode, I feel like I'm on an adventure. It's really an incredible experience how Sarah creates such incredible worlds in her books, all different, and all amazing! I can't say enough about this author. I hope to meet her in person someday, so I can thank her for sharing her stories. I can't remember when I've had this much fun reading in my adulthood. Her books bring me back to the Harry Potter and Twilight days when I'd be at Barnes & Noble for midnight releases desperate for that next book. I'd definitely line up for the next in any of her series. I'm only sad I can't pace myself lol, but I'm so thrilled she continues to release new books! If I could set Amazon to auto-purchase an author for life, it would her. Always new and amazing stories of love, hope, and victory! Nothing beats her hard-earned happily ever afters and the character growth that makes them possible. All the feels!

Magical fantasy

Managing to escape their cages they try to regroup. Amel is convinced the Dominar should remain in control even without the mask. They head to the queen of dragons only to be met by the dusk covenant and false chosen one. Savette and the false one are put to the test and she is proved worthy and given the support of the queen but the Dominion is split as the two factions war and the demons destroy everything. Under fire, each member is given a separate task. Amel is sent to find the prince and gain his support against the enemy. As usual, everything takes a turn and it is hard to hold onto hope.

I need more!!!

Reading this series has been such an adventure!! I go from one set of books to the next without thinking of reading anything else! Amel and friends are in different places around the world, trying to get more allies in the fight against evil....the Dark Dominion. There are so many battles that they have endure, yet their belief in the Prophesies, give them the strength to keep fighting. Will they ever get to a point where they can resume their lives without fear of being killed...or worse???

After finishing the first box set in this series I needed to continue with this storyline and see it to the end. I got the rest of the series on KU and went through them all in just a few days.....I could not put this story down and had a hard time diverting my focus even for things which I needed to do...like sleep and eat. I am totally blown away by this author as she weaves the many storylines in the series together and can't wait to see how everything ends up.

Good writing, but the allegory gets a little heavy and preachy which detracts from the well written story. A lighter touch would have given a stronger message. There are a lot of biblical allusions and parallels, so many that it kinda started to remind me of reading a "cool teen" Bible. Kids sense that stuff. I want the plot to move along faster without the introspection and conversations between Amel and Raolcan sounding like Christian apology 101.

Tears, Frustration, Joy, Despair… Wonderful!

This series has yet to disappoint me. This set from the series has so many twists, turns, surprises and every emotion goes through you right until the last page.

I’m on to the last set. Knowing there are more set in the same realm soothes my trepidation at this series being over soon for me.

Get them. Read them. Feel as I have, and…
Enjoy!

The characters have developed so much now that you won’t recognize them from the beginning. Amel has a love interest that complicates matters and powers are revealed that make such a difference. More twists and turns that make this such an amazing, experience. You can’t stop reading it and burn the midnight oil.

And the saga continues...

I love the world Sarah has built. The people are real and I care about them (even the ones who are less likeable!). She spins tales and ties together prophecies to make a wonderful story that just keeps getting better and better. As i start reading the last 5 chapters of Dragon School, i find that I'm a bit sad knowing it will end soon--too soon.

Books 11-15 dragon school

The story was well done and had errors throughout. The plot and characters have developed well. Amel complains a lot in this set, but the plot is well done and exciting. We will see how the next set goes. If she still complains over everything then I will stop reading this author.

In these episodes, Amel and her dragon are separated from her friends and in a Foreign country. She is on a mission and has many obstacles in her way. She is once again separated from the boy she loves. But, her strength and perseverance and her dragon get her through it.

Can’t express enough how much I love this series. I HIGHLY suggest that everyone should read!

I'm literally lost for words. This story is getting better and better and to think there's only one omnibus left breaks my heart. Amel and Raolcan, my dear Raolcan, really had their work cut out in this 3rd omnibus, but I won't tell you any spoilers, I think you should read the books yourself. If you love dragons this is most definitely a series for you.

Dragon School: Episodes 11-15

Wow, this is quite a complex story with no quick fixes for any of the characters! Great world building and the characters keep growing by facing the truth of their flaws and growing from them. This is well worth the time invested in reading these books though I recommend the larger collections rather than the 20 novellas!

I really enjoyed this book. It had tons of action and even though work has been really hectic I really wanted more time to read. I ended up reading in short bursts over a longer period of time. This is really hard for me to do. I lose track of the character or plot. Or I think I’m just too tired to read. But this book kept calling me back!

Be careful there are traitors in the midst.

Yas!

Into the thick of it all. Poor Amel just can’t catch a break. Loved how the author twisted and turned the story making us cry for mercy then cheer when things turned for the better.
Looking forward to reading the end of the series. I’m strapping in for the last leg of the journey for it’s going to be wild and bumpy ride!
