Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Dragon Rider by Taran Matharu


Note:  I never give 6 stars to any book!

Mataru is a new Rock Star!  I loved the book!  I read a great deal.  I normally read three or four books at the same time, not simultaneously but at the same time.  I don’t normally struggle with not moving to the other book, it is usually whichever book is at hand, Kindle, phone, or actual physical book.  This time I didn’t want to put Dragon Rider down.  It captivated me.   This is the part of the review which normally goes at the end, sorry.

Dragon Rider is a tale of a third son, held as the least of three hostages, by the Sabine Empire.   The old emperor needed assisted living and with him living in a fantasy world that didn’t exist so Jai, the third son of the dead nomad leader, was his “arse” wipe.

Leonid was brutal but not cruel.  His son was cruel and brutal.  His grandson was ruthless, cruel, brutal, and treacherous.  This delightful family interplay leads to Jai being on the run while harboring an alleged poisoner.

The two of them run into unlikely allies, vociferous and despicable enemies.

The path is fraught with danger and non-human companions, one of which is obvious from the title of the book.

I insist, no I demand that you treat yourself to this outstanding read, you deserve to revel in the wonderous nature of this extraordinary story.

I can’t wait for the sequel.
