Publisher's summary

Who will save the Dragon from the Princess?

Blitz is meant to be a rampaging Devastator Dragon. Unfortunately, lighting his own hearth fire isn't really a strength. When he accidentally kidnaps the black Princess Azania, the most beautiful woman in all the realms, riches, honor, and undeniable glory beckon.

Never mind that every knight errant, prince, and scoundrel in the land now wants his head on a platter. Minor details.

Far worse, she's a woman with actual ideas and the nerve to decide she doesn't want to be rescued. What she'd rather do is reform her Dragon. Her Dragon! Gnarr!

With humor, unconventional flair and the odd stomp of a diminutive slipper, the mismatched pair set out to turn the kingdoms on their heads.

Beware. Fate hath no fury like a Dragon-riding Princess scorned.

loved it!

this book was funny and sweet! definitely a wonderful listen. would recommend to someone wanting a heart warming book.

it was okay, we waded through the whole thing

clean, no profanity. it could have been shorter. we bought it based on the number of hours.

Amazing Story

once I started listening to it I couldn't stop I love the story and how connected to the characters it gets you didn't want it to end

I loved all of them

I waited to do a proper review. I enjoyed the whole series. I will be getting more books from the author. These books were well written. the story was fun to follow. I enjoyed the back story and not too OP. I enjoyed this series profusely.

Brilliant!

This story captivated me from start to finish. The humor and witticism is rich and well timed. The character development is superb, use of "big words" throughout was very refreshing, and an overall extremely engaging story. This was the first I have read from this author, and will definitely be listening to more from him now!

Fantastic Journey

This trilogy of books was made with a clear line of thought. A fun story, with drama, momentum, and character arcs that have meaning. Excellent story, excellent writing, and an a most exceptional portrayal of the characters by the narrator!

Good characterisations and well developed relationships between characters. 

I enjoyed the characters and most the story. The final conclusion was a bit hollow, but overall the book was more about the relationships more than the battles.

Far too many political and social issues pushed by the authors. Distracted from the story

This is an excellent story, I’d give it a full 5 stars IF you didn’t have to listen to his social and political views pushed onto you every few chapters. I don’t deny racism is real, sexism is real, different sexual preferences and desires are real, BUT I don’t need the authors agenda and personal beliefs in a book about a human and dragon saving the world as they discover who they truly are. So many references and terms are far too modern for the world this is suppose to be in.
But for reals; the story is great! The characters; excellent and the narrator incredible. Brought the book and the story alive. Just unneeded distractions from the story, that without would of flowed better and been more enjoyable

Lots of dragon time.

It is about an artistic dragon who has a princess and uses her to interface with the human world. Also he does dragon things and goes on an adventure. It has lots of feral dragon PoV, with the occasional princess PoV. The narrator also makes lots of dragon noises.

it's a dnf for me

I'm about half way through and giving up. Just don't care enough about it. I like the premise, like the characters...I think. I would have liked more actual character development and a lot less banter. Some of it's cute, and I admire the dedication to alliteration. But it gets old and feels beyond forced when every. single. interaction has to be banter. Maybe it loses something in being narrated, idk. Overall I think the narrator does a good job, his voices are well done although I think his overall delivery is too serious for this book. The novelty of the story is starting to lose out to the things that annoy me. And, calvary? CAVALRY! I don't know if it was the author or the narrator, but there's a chapter where the word Calvary is used incorrectly at least 30 times!
