Dragon Weather: Obsidian Chronicles

By: Lawrence Watt-Evans

Narrated by: Shawn Saavedra

The first novel in Lawrence Watt-Evans' Obsidian Chronicles: Dragon Weather.

Arlian had lived his entire life on the Smoking Mountain - the stony ground, jagged peaks, and black glass were all he had ever known.

But then came dragon weather: Oppressive heat, dark and angry clouds...weather that lured the dragons from their caverns deep beneath the earth.

And the dragons came - monsters with no sympathy for humans; dragons who destroyed his entire village and everyone in it. Everyone, that is, except Arlian.

Orphaned and alone, Arlian is taken by looters and sold into slavery, sent to labor in the mines for the rest of his life - until a freak accident and an act of mercy sets him free.

Free to seek revenge on the looters, the slavers - and the dragons.

But in all of history, no one has ever slain a dragon. Can one obsessed young man change the world and do what no one has ever done before?

Great dragon lore

Love the characters. Great storytelling and wonderful performance. Amazing reading. Voices done wonderfully. Enough adventure and fights to keep the story moving.

Not disappointed!

This has been a book dear to my heart for the last 18 years. It spurred my love of writing and reading and has been one of my favorite books for all of my adult life. LWE has been one of my favorite authors for just as long and he never disappoints! I was ecstatic to hear that this book was finally in audio format, although I was cautious because I'm quite picky about what kind of voice I can listen to for hours on end, but I was pleasantly surprised by Shawn's performance! There were a few voices that took me by surprise, as they were nothing like what I had imagined, but the rest was pretty spot on and I look forward to not only the rest of the Obsidian Chronicles but also to exploring more books narrated by Shawn Saavedra!

4 & (2/3) four 'n' two-thirds superb ☆☆☆☆☆

narration was very well done. 4.95 stars
story was quite satisfying. 4.97

I give it four stars overall for nothing is perfect.
Yet, I recommend it; though my voice means very little.

This book was amazing can't wait for the next

Over all the narrator was great and the story was amazing but I feel like at the start of the story the over all story was kinda weak"just at first" . Basically just a few to meany coincidences at the start but over all if you're a fan of the heroes journey with some pretty good twists a and fun but not childish plot I'd recommend it. By the end I'll fell in love with the characters and the the book ended really strong.

Just Great

It's a great story. Loved the diversity of voices for the characters read by Shawn Saavedra.
