Fireborne

The Aurelian Cycle, Book 1

De: Rosaria Munda

Narrado por: Christian Coulson, Candice Moll, Steve West

"One of fantasy’s best series."—Booklist, starred review

Game of Thrones meets Fourth Wing in a debut young adult fantasy that's full of rivalry, romance . . . and dragons.

Annie and Lee were just children when a brutal revolution changed their world, giving everyone—even the lowborn—a chance to test into the governing class of dragonriders.

Now they are both rising stars in the new regime, despite backgrounds that couldn't be more different. Annie's lowborn family was executed by dragonfire, while Lee's aristocratic family was murdered by revolutionaries. Growing up in the same orphanage forged their friendship, and seven years of training have made them rivals for the top position in the dragonriding fleet.

But everything changes when survivors from the old regime surface, bent on reclaiming the city.

With war on the horizon and his relationship with Annie changing fast, Lee must choose to kill the only family he has left or to betray everything he's come to believe in. And Annie must decide whether to protect the boy she loves . . . or step up to be the champion her city needs.

From debut author Rosaria Munda comes a gripping adventure that calls into question which matters most: the family you were born into, or the one you've chosen.

So good!

This book had me hooked right from the beginning! The story telling and writing are great.
I really enjoyed the audiobook, the narrators did a great job.

Great performance, good story

the Narrators performances were great. the story was pretty good. would've liked more behind the scenes political positioning and scheming. At times it seemed like they were skimming over all the juicy details and jumping to the next event. really enjoyed the story.

Disturbingly violent

Disturbingly violent, poor kids are so traumatized especially Lee. Way too young to be military leaders.

twisted honor

this book for me pushed the limits of loyalty and fairness in an exciting story. everyone loves a dragon school and I believe this one is among my favorite. I highly recommend this book for anyone who likes high stakes, adventure, and a little philosophy of right, wrong, fair, blood family against chosen family.

I will not read the 2nd book

not enough action for my liking. it did get better at the end. I didnt like how the story was told back and forth between the main characters. strong English accent.

Enjoyable

I was and remain team Lee,
I felt there were other sides to the story that were completely skipped over but regardless I still enjoyed the book. As of now I’m not sure if I will read the remaining books in the set- I tire of needing to purchase the “next book” to complete the story.

Well written even if it’s not my cuppa..

I saw somewhere in a review where this book was if House of Dragons and Fourth Ing had a spin off series with Hermione Grainger as the lead female …It’s well written. Definitely a lot of world building and political aspects. For me I wanted more fantasy and less politics. Truly it’s a well written book and the narration is excellent. I’m not going to rate a book poorly just because I didn’t care for it. But know that there’s a lot of layers and politics that accompany the story. I don’t know that I’ll go on with the series, but I’m sure others will absolutely run with this one.

Fireborne

This was amazing and what I needed after missing Fourth Wing and that series. I actually liked this book, if it is possible, more!

Loved it

Great book! I consumed it and struggled to put it down. Perfect blend of political, fantasy, and drama. Looking forward to starting book 2 asap.

Loved it all

I found these books after reading the Fourth Wing/ Iron Flame books. Wasn’t expecting to like them as much as those, but I fell in love. Didn’t want the series to end. Also, it’s normally taken me awhile to get into the voices for the other audiobooks I’ve listened to, but I immediately enjoyed Lee & Annie’s voice actors. I could listen to “Annie’s” voice all day. Highly recommend this whole series. I got lost in this world and it’ll be hard to find another one I love as much as this.
