Call of the Dragon: a Dragon Fantasy Adventure (Dragon Riders of Elantia Book 1) Kindle Edition

The book is good, but it has some issues. In my opinion the main problem is that the author didn’t know what kind of book she wanted to write.Firstly, the tone: it shifts between a mature tale, with themes of identity, belonging, family, war, child prostitution; to a young adult vanilla romance with a bit of dystopian flavors.Second, the setting: the author spends time setting up a treasure hunter plot, detailing the protagonist's powers, her store, and how it works; then moves to the School, gloss over the actual learning and training by telling and not showing; and then at the end moves again, discarding the school.Third, the protagonist: It’s established that she is 23 years old, street smart but also educated; later she acts like a silly teenager with a serious lacking of common sense. The worst is that she thinks something but acts the opposite: she thinks that she shouldn't fall for the first hot guy who crosses her and then she does it; she thinks that something can be a trap and then fall into it. It is very annoying. Also, the other protagonist, the Dragon, has little time in the book, very little actually, so I didn't have the time to know her and care for her.That leads me to the final problem: this is not a complete story. In the vein of the current trend, this is a serial, not a series. The authors must learn the difference (also Amazon should differentiate them). You get part of a story, but without resolution and with cliffhangers until the next installment.

Despite the books being a bit short to allow more character development, this has promise. This is a very innocent story, there's NO explicit sex scenes, like some of these outrageous harem novels, if anyone's wondering. There is promise of romance, but in this book, you're not sure who Zara will end up w/. B/c this is book 1, the story is really centered around Zara & Lessie, her big, baby dragon & how their future may unfold together.

I hate it this book. I bought it for my young son. The second page says that the character of the book was downstairs putting his cock in someone's mouth! Absolutely outrageous. This is not the tone or the words I want either my son nor myself to read.

It said, that this book, was a mix of Eragon and the dragon riders of Pern.. But I'd say, it's more like a cross between Raine Benares and Eragon. It's the story that Eragon could have been, but never was due to someone not wanting to delete anything..That said, it's a fine story in it's own right.A young woman is to steal a dragon heart, and ends up getting the hole in hers, finally filled.She finds an egg, of a long gone dragon. But as she touch it, the egg awakens..and cracks.A very fast paced story, with a good plot, easy to read. Fills all your need of how it feels, to belong to a dragon and vice versa. Allthoug I do find our leading lady to lack a bit of the street urchin I sort of understood she was.. And a few other things with some of the characters. But not enough, for me to not, enjoy the story. I will buy the second book, after writing this FYI!

It is after midnight and i just finished this book. I also just bought book 2 and will begin as soon as i write this review. I loved this book and the characters and the whole "I have a dragon" story. However, I almost deleted the book from my kindle after the first few pages because of the language and sexual content. It was too much. I am not sure why I kept reading. The author then slipped into a softer tone and I wondered if she wrote the beginning the way she did to pull in teens or perhaps those who are buying those "steamy" books. I also wondered if she knew who her audience was as it seemed to be all over the place. Yet, as I got into the story and the author stopped pulling me "out of the book" with jarring language/scenes, I could NOT put it down. That is why instead of sleeping, i will at least begin book 2 tonight. If I had been a beta reader/friend/editor of this author, I would have commented on the unnecessary pieces in this book. STILL, the author has talent and pulled me in. At times I laughed, at times I stopped to ponder a phrase. OK enough...book 2 is calling me right NOW!

Call of the Dragon is a wonderful fantasy, the story is very different to the usual Dragon books as the main character is a young adult when she bonds with her dragon. This book would be great for teens and up although you will need to find plenty of time to read it because once you start you won’t be able to stop. Definitely worth buying.

As a lover of all things dragon, I found myself engrossed in this novel. I enjoyed the strong lead and quick in-depth plunge into the unique society of this new world. I look forward to the next book.

I don't think it's a coincidence that this new dragon's nickname is Lessie! I haven't loved a dragon and her rider so much since Anne Mc Caffrey's Pern books. Can't wait to start the next one. I don't think there's anything more important to say about a story than that you care about the characters and what happens to them. Some writers like the great DragonLady have their own special magic that touches their stories with enchanting life! I think Ms Drake has that magic touch!

I gave this book 5 stars for one reason, i Loved it.If your a fan of fantasy, dragons a good escape from the humdrum of normal life i strongly recommend giving this a read.I used it to read on journeys to start with,but found i just had to continue when i got home.The characters are believable and likeable if a bit cheesy sometimes, but who doesn't like a bit of cheese now and then. The story line flows smoothly from start to finish almost no reapeating points (some authors spacefil too much by repeating) looking forward to the rest of the series.

Brilliant read full of intrigue plenty of twists and turns cannot to download next book to get to know the characters more

Character portrayal is vivid and believable. The storyline is well supported and strong. All in all a great read with a wonderful new world setting. Eager for more!

Really enjoyed this book. Completely different story, lots going on, can’t wait for the next one, fantastic world and characters, need to see what happens next!

Wonderful,exciting, exhilarating and amazing. I can’t say enough. It’s hard to put down when you get into the story. Love it immensely. Can’t wait for l next one to read.
