Dragon Thief

The Skystone Chronicles, Book 1

By: Blake and Raven Penn

Narrated by: Brad Witbeck, Rylee Haviland

Dragons that Paolini would be proud of. Characters that would keep Riordan listening. A magic system that would make Brandon Sanderson say, “…nice."

Asher of Steel Rim fancies himself a halfway-decent thief, but not exactly the realm’s most popular guy. As an outcast among outcasts, some hate him for his scale-tipped, pointed ears. Others prefer to wish him dead because he’s a magi in a land where those born with etherarchy are outlawed.

In the wild, desert wastelands of Drakfell, Asher finally finds the opportunity he’s been waiting for: A chance to avenge his mother’s death by taking down the legendary leader of the Mage Hunters herself, The Black Valkyrie. To get his shot, Asher joins a crew of Knights determined to steal a true dragon egg. But Asher’s journey of personal vengeance lands him right in the middle of a war that goes far beyond anything he could’ve imagined.

What an awesome adventure!

This book was a lot of fun. It far exceeded my expectations, and just kept on getting better throughout. The performance was also exceptionally well done.

It was longer but really loved the adventure.

This was a great book. I loved that if followed closely just one group of people and their adventure. Some really good character development and twist moments at the end. Took a little bit to start piecing the world together but I was glad I learned through adventure instead of slow boring setup for half the book.
The voices were fun for each character and feeling their personality.

Excited for the next one.

The fun way the characters interact

Awesome book, can’t wait for the next book in the series. Book 2 is great too.

Things could not have gone better

Classic [spear] and sorcery book, i.e., NOT a litrpg/gamelit book. Unique and interesting magic system coupled with some nice world building makes for a book with good replay value (and you will listen to it more than once).

The main protagonist is a show boating rouge type that you will either love or hate by the time he declares that he is too young to die.

The narrators do an excellent job and runs well at 2x speed. (Although the music beginning is awful -- that is only for a few second though).

Good clean YA dragon fun!

This was a really fun high fantasy YA dragon story. I particularly loved the diverse and well developed cast. All of the characters were so much fun. There's lots of adventure and lots of fun little subplots, and I look forward to seeing what happens next.

Well performed and exceptional story

great story, Plot twists and narration, truly one of the better fantasy standouts. a very enjoyable read that leaves the reader questions but fulfilled. looking forward to reading the sequel

Amazing First Story

I still can't believe that this is the first novel from these two. what a great story! I was excited to get back to it every time I got in the car. I had to know what was going on. that doesn't always happen. I don't want to give too much away and I really want to download and listen to the next book but this one was definitely worth the listen!

Ready for Book 2

Very entertaining listen. Each character is distinct and interesting, and there were no big boring sections to endure. It strikes the balance of being fast-paced without being exhausting, and it builds out the world without infodumping.

The way they switch readers during dialogue was a little jarring at first, but it grew on me after a while, so I think it's mostly because I wasn't used to it.

Clever, funny, and action packed

A clever magic system in a fun, action packed story with characters that pull you in. Definitely recommend.

Dynamic Storytelling

An epic adventure involving, you guessed it, dragons. Any lover of dragon tales would enjoy this book. Magic, action, and loyalty are the cores of this tale. With the talented reading of Brad Witbeck and Rylee Haviland you’ll be sucked in on like you’re one of the crew. Looking forward to continuing in book 2
