Dragon Riders Academy, Book 1

By: A.K. Thorne

Narrated by: Kim Reiko

This academy’s about to go up in flames.

I’m Sorcha McMurphy. I thought magic didn’t exist until I found a stolen dragon hatchling and got a letter of acceptance to a supernatural school for dragon riders.

I’m literally flown away to a college that teaches sword fighting, magic casting, and general ass-kicking. Here, the dragon clans are at war, and there’s an evil that threatens to destroy the riders forever.

They think I’m the chosen one destined to save the clans, but I’m no hero. If only I could stop myself from loving the cursed guy in my dragon keeping class long enough to save the world.

Dragon Academy is a magic academy YA/NA paranormal fantasy novel. Contains one strong heroine, one smoking-hot book boyfriend, and a plethora of dragons you won’t be able to get enough of! Eragon meets Harry Potter in this fiery fantasy series.

Extremely good

I found this audiobook to be an extremely good read. It has a lot of suspense, drama, emotion and growing up in it.

An amazing ride!

Love the narrator! She is my new favorite. I loved her feelings and expressions through the entire book.

Minor plot spoilers ahead.

There were so many feelings during this book. I really felt pulled in! When she left him in the woods I was like Noooo! Don't leave. But was happy how it all ended. There were so many things that I did not see coming and really liked how everything happened. Finding out who her sister was and then why she didn't remember. I really think there is a bigger plot point to this and think it has to do with the shadow riders but I need to know. hoping it is in the next book!

The romance was kinda weird. She seemed very mature but the relationship building seemed alot more innocent than what Sorchas inner thoughts portrayed.

That ending! I really do understand why it ended that way. And if she would have killed then it would have basically would have thrown everything she said earlier in the book out. I do wonder if that was the reason she needed to not have her memories. A blank slate.

The fight at the end was great and really glad the thing broke because that would have just been too easy. And how the evil dragon reacted to her rider after his actions makes me think that things will turn around and things will with baby dragons and rainbows.

Dragon Academy

Follow Sorcha on her journey where she learns she’s from another world where she is actually the mother of all dragons. She starts at Dragon Academy where she is on a quest to save all of the dragons and dragon riders from the evil Draco. Along the way she falls in love to end up being betrayed. Excited to see what awaits her in book 2. The narrators did a great job.

Dragons Galore

So many dragons, so little time :) Great story premise in this fun, fast-paced listen about Sorcha’s escapades in a world of interesting dragons. The narration was good and overall a satisfying series starter.

So Much Potential!

I would love to give this audio book 5 stars straight across- but I just can’t. I did love the story and the characters- the narrator had great voices for each one- but the main character’s voice tended to change. I loved her enthusiasm- but sometimes it was just.. too much. It didn’t match the situation. I found several errors- repeated sentences and at times I could definitely tell where she cut off recording and started again. But overall I really did like this book. The author built a great world and plot line- and characters and dragons that stand out in their own personalities. Sorcha- pulled form the human world with no memory of her past fated to save the entire magical race. Falling for Oliver, the boy from the wrong clan she can never have.. With more practice and editing- I see this narrator becoming really great!
