Dragonvein, Book One

De: Brian D. Anderson

Narrado por: Derek Perkins

Carentan, France, 1944 - Ethan Martin, a soldier in the 101st Airborne, is fighting for his life. But soon he will learn what peril truly is when he is ripped from his world and transported to a land of magic, swords, and dragons. And though the Nazis are now far, far away, danger is closer than ever.

The eternal emperor, Shinzan has destroyed the mages. Only a few dragons remain in exile. And now that Ethan - son of Praxis Dragonvein - has returned, he must destroy him as well. Faced with unimaginable power, Ethan has only one hope - to reach the dwarf kingdom of Elyfoss before Shinzan can find him.

Not bad fantasy ...

I liked the book, not bad, not bad. I will probably give it another once over, just a little predictable but, not a bad story.

Good story

I found this to be a very easy book to listen to. I couldn't stop listening once I started. I finished it in a single day.

started off good but was hard to finish

started out great but about halfway thru it lost my attention i found myself waiting for the chapters to end, by the end of the i was actually was surprised it ended because it didn't even fell like it ended right, i mean it had a hook " kind of" but it felt week like the author did know how to end it. I am not wasted my money in hopes it gets better.

a+

Would you consider the audio edition of Dragonvein, Book One to be better than the print version?

very good

it was a slow start, I will admit, with many parts leading me confused as to where exactly this story was taking me but it just as soon began to make more gradual sense and I really started to enjoy the the characters. character growth here was especially significant which is one of my favorite parts in any story.

Good, but not great

I really liked the begging, but it sort of fell short somehow at the end... I feel like there could be more focus on building the society with all the unspoken rules and traditions that make it feel as if u were there to discover the new world and new civilizations with the character. But if you like a story that heavily focuses on action, this might be the book for you.

going to listen to a few more. So far I like. it .

loved it, ready for more.
why I have to put a certain amount of words???? some can say something with 1 word.

Disappointed

The best thing about this book was the narrator by far. The main character was supposedly an airborne army ranger who survived the allied Invasion of Normandy, yet the author seems to try his best to make him seem incompetent. I only made it about four hours into the book and the only significant thing the main character has accomplished so far is to get beat up twice by random peasants using knives and fists both of which army rangers have at least basic training in. He also manages to leave his weapon at the scene of one of the fights which I don't know about in the army but in the marines its a major no no which will see you hazed for a long long time (sometimes I still panic when I can't find my weapon next to me and I've been a civilian for years). Not a terrible book but the MC could have been a lot better, If you're looking for a violent book where the main character goes to a magical world I would suggest the nightlord series by Garon Whited.

entertaining

not too bad. fun story. a few cliches and moments that ripped off LoTR, haha

Disappointed in the second book

I really enjoyed the first book. I was looking forward to the second book and had just started listening to it. By the 3rd chapter there was a lot of profanity. In the first book I don't even think it had one swear word in it. The second book repeats the f word continuously. I don't understand why authors do this. The characters have not changed so why do they suddenly start changing the way they talk or behave. Very disappointed. I was going to recommend the book to my son but now I can't. I wanted to warn any other readers who are looking for "clean" books that you will be disappointed in the next book in the series.
