An interesting tale! Jason is a 17 year old from a high mountain village. While out hunting he dropped a deer. After taking it home he goes out again hoping to get another. Instead he meets a man who is hunting dragons. This man is evil Jason soon separated from him.Jason meets new friends and finds an Ice dragon. This a new series begins, it's fantastic and I'm beginning the second book!

I'm used to Mr. Holmberg's writing being much more skillfully crafted than I found in this book. There was a lot of repetition that reminded me of Louis L'Amour's later books.HOWEVER, I'm very glad I read the book and it finally improved its pace, and quality, toward the last chapters and ended with a bang. I'm ready to go on to "Iron Dragon" the next book in the series.Anyone who enjoys dragons will enjoy the uniqueness of the dragons in this book. The plot involved dragon slavers and those who care for free dragons. The protagonist, Jason, grows up in a small village at the top of a treeless mountain that is covered in snow year round. The beginning of the book reminded me a bit of "Eragon," but it quickly showed how different the story was within a few pages.All the D.K. Holmberg books I have read have been really good, if sometimes a little slow paced. This is the first one I've read with a little lower quality of writing. Don't let it put you off from trying others of his books.I would rate this book G.I recommend this book.

I get nervous delving into new D.K. Holmberg world's because I love the old worlds so much, but yet again, I'm just as much in love with this new one as I am with all of the others! I think some people might find the story slow to begin with, but that's part of what I love about it. In a series, you need to get to know the characters and really build the depth of the world and Mr. Holmberg does that beautifully. You start to get to know Jason and everything he's been through and learn what drives him. You also get the addition of characters such as William and Henry that I know we'll end up loving. And I can't wait to explore the relationship that I know is sure to build between Jason and Sarah. Was it fast paced? Not too much. Lots of Action? Enough to keep the good flow going. Was it worth it? Absolutely! This is the beginning of what is sure to be another epic series from Mr. Holmberg. I'd like to say thank you a million times over to Mr. Holmberg for putting the second book in the series out on the 21st because I don't think I could wait longer than that to continue the story! If you haven't read any of this authors works yet, this would be a great new world to start with, and just know that all of his other worlds are just as enthralling. Enjoy!!!

Really shocked at how much this book seem to drag on... (no pun intended). I have always really enjoyed reading D.K. Holmberg books along with my Grandsons. The both of them learned how fantastic reading a good book can be. I have always read books either to them or with them and I am sure this is how they learned stay at home adventures can be had when really getting into a great book. Both of them really like this author's books. They didn't agree with me about the drag in the story line. And that just might be my old brain rushing to get more books read before I'm called to the other side!! (Possible explanation, LMAO) So the 3 of use will now move on to reading the next book in The Dragon Misfits series. BTW my GS are 13 and 15.

Always intrigued by stories about Dragons. This was a bit different twist on a type of dragon in a different environment than most. It was interesting how this story progressed to learn about the differences. I often can relate to main characters that doubt themselves that don't recognize the abilities they do have. Even though they lack confidence they go out of there way to help others. Even putting their own selves in danger to do so. Another characteristic they have caring for their families and other they have learned to care about. That's why I enjoy Jason's character.I recommend this story wholeheartedly. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review of this book because I love to read and endorse an author's writing I enjoy without revealing to much of the story to not to ruin it for others.

This was so enthralling that I had my earphones in all day whilst doing my chores. My grandson is fed up of me saying “ pardon ?“There were good characters and a plot that moved and flowed easily between people and places, with the main character being a family head, but still unsure of his worth. All the characters interact well and naturally, keeping the narrative rolling along at a good pace.Although the title suggests a saga of dragons I was surprised that my attention had been held for so long without the appearance of a single one. They only appear in a supportive role towards the end of this book, but I am looking forward to meeting them in the future.This is a book for “ children” of all ages, from 9 to 90Don’t miss it.

theres greasy marks on this book and trying to sent back is way to hard no suitable options i only wanted a replacement which could pick up at the same time but as im disabled and no local place to drop off thanks i will not buy again if not replaced very disappointed i could of got a lot cheaper if i wanted damaged book

Another solid read in the style of the Cloud Warrior saga. In my comment for that first book I stated it felt like Star Wars, in which case this feels like Episode VII, the reboot. Took a little while to get into but once it got going was hard to put down. Looking forward to the rest.

Got half way through and gave up. So little happens and the writer has made the main charter rather stupid, as too many writers seem to do. I really wish writers would at least make their main characters competent at least.

Make sure to be near a hot fire when reading, cause there sure are many descriptions and moments that made my toes feel frozen while reading! I loved the story and cant wait to read Book 2 and get to know the dragon!
