Deadweed Dragons: The Complete Series

De: Ava Richardson

Narrado por: Traci Arlene

In the face of death and dragons, only the brave will endure…

Fifteen-year-old Dayie’s daring climb to steal a dragon egg takes a shocking turn when the egg hatches before she can return home. Now, she must keep the fiery young hatchling hidden—or risk losing him to the Deadweed, a sinister, invasive plant devouring everything in its path.

But when the Deadweed spreads dangerously close, Dayie’s secret is exposed. Forced to join the Training Hall of Dagban, she finds herself among riders struggling to bond with their dragons—a bond crucial to defending the kingdom from the Deadweed’s relentless advance.

As Dayie trains, her mysterious powers begin to surface, drawing suspicion and unease. To master her magic, she must uncover the secrets of her past. But danger is closing in, and her connection with her dragon may be the kingdom’s only hope against a growing, deadly scourge.

With time running out, Dayie must make an impossible choice: protect her dragon or save her home.

I am enjoying the author's work

The story is great.

The narrator seems to be part of a trend of narrators that sound like they learned English from a second hand author. She butchers words all through the story she can't even say, "charcoal," as a native English speaker would. She butchered many other words but another stand out was "narrated."

This butchering of words seems to be a trend she is not the first I have heard butchering the spoken English language.

Great book! I couldn't stop listening

This was a very exciting book and very well written. I enjoyed this story from start to finish. A bit of adversity, a bit of excitement, a little romance. It had it all.

good story, okay narrator

I liked the story but the narrator made me eye roll on many occasions. First were the mispronounced words...who doesn't know how to pronounce ocher? that was just the first of several. At first it was funny but by the time she bungled trebuchet I was all out of humor. She did a great job while she was portraying the hero, who was also a young woman. she was convincing and enjoyable to listen to, provided she wasn't mispronouncing her words. But her male characters were mostly suffering. They all had the same grandiose inflictions, no change in timber or candence. I am not an actor or a language specialist or a professional of any kind. But I had to force myeslf to sit through the series, which is a shame because I enjoyed the story.

Overall the story was good

Good story, but in addition to several other opinions about the narrator butchering words, the author’s use of “I and…” grated on my nerves like nails on chalkboard!
If you want to be an author, learn the proper use of pronouns.
How did that get past her editor?

One act can change your life as Dayie finds out when she is sent into the Dragon mountain to seal an egg and found out how easy it is to bond with a dragon. Now her life will forever be that of adventures and magic as she struggles to free her world of Deadweed. She befriends the rightful Prince of the South and together, they and their dragons search for the witch that holds the secret. The characters are well written, with lots of excitement, dragons and a very interesting plot. A great story to listen to while you travel, making the time just fly.

enjoyable story and performace, but...

I dislike cliff-hangers. I can appreciate when they are used to generate interest for a preceding book but not for the very end of a book!

Fantastic!!

Don't let the long run time deter you from this amazing series. It's all three book rolled into one, so you get to finish with no cliffies. It's a tale about an orphan, a dragon and about the friends they make on the way to destroying a great evil. I received a copy of this book from Audiobook Boom and I am leaving my honest review.

Enticing

A great series with a female hero. Dayie never knowing who she was finally able to find her feet after the kidnapping and hatching of a dragon egg. There has always been something about her that just was unexplained. As she helps to fight the deadweed and water wraiths she certain there is a better way to defeat it but it requires leaving and finding answers.
A really good series. I loved listening to the dragon and human interactions. I recommend this series to youth and dragon and fantasy lovers.
