My Thoughts and Summary:
*I was given this free review copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Tor remembers riding on the back of Hubric's dragon when they saved Tor and people from the burning buildings in Tor's home of Vanika. It was a feeling he wants to have again, in the sky on a dragon. Hubric promised to return, and he finally has. But his vague words about where Tor will go and do has Tor wondering if he should leave his burnt out husk of a home town or not. But if there's a chance of flying a dragon... And not starving...

Sean Rhead is a new narrator for me, and I very much enjoyed his voice for Tor. As I got to know Tor through his actions, Sean voiced him with feeling. The story is clean and clear as we listen. I look forward to hearing more.

This is another series in a dragon world Sarah has created. I've listened to the first book in the Dragon School series. But I don't think you have to listen/read the Dragon School series to understand this series. Although, looking through the books available for Dragon School series, I believe it will tell of the war that's said to have ended in the beginning of this book.

Tor is in for more than he expected. Hubric figures with Tor's background and skills, he'd be perfect as his apprentice in the position he recently was placed in. Then we meet Saboraak. Saboraak is brought in to help with this new position. She is special too! She's the first female to join the Dominic and brings skills to the job that are needed. Female dragons can do something cool that males can not! You have to read or listen to find out.

Tor and Saboraak are a fun match. Well, match... They have strong personalities that clash a bit. The clash is a way that each tell the other what they need to hear, to make them stronger. They made me smile as they told the hard truths to each other. In this short story I grew fond of Tor and Saboraak together and as characters.

This story is the beginning of much more with Tor and Saboraak. We pick up a few potential allies and ready for what's to come. At the end, I wanted to story to keep going. I wanted to formally meet our new characters and learn what is going on with the Magica. I guess I'll have to keep an eye out for the next section.
