Publisher's summary

A YA Dragon Rider Fantasy Adventure with a Unique Magic Spin

Dragon rider school is far more dangerous than Eva ever dreamed it would be…

She and the dragon Perrell have arrived at Fairspell Academy, ready to begin their training. But the prejudices that plagued them in Scaldrift are even worse in the capital. Everyone thinks Eva’s from the wrong social class to become a dragon rider, and Perrell is far too small to become a battle dragon. How can they prove themselves if they’re not even allowed to try?

It’s up to Eva to prove herself once more—but her magic behaves in strange ways. Eva wields earth magic, but she can also see air and fire magic. She might be able to mix the three—but that’s strictly forbidden.

When Eva and Perrell fail their first test, they must prepare for a tournament that will finally prove their worth—or see them kicked out of the academy. Mixing magic is forbidden, and could land Eva in serious trouble. But when disaster strikes at the tournament and lives are on the line, she may have no choice…

Eva and Pernell

Eva and Pernell are trying to prove that they belong at the school. As things come to light Eva more then ever wants to just to feel like she isn't a "imposter".

Entertaining Listen

Not only is this audiobook a great listening experience, but the story is entertaining as well. The narrator did a dynamite job with the different vocalizations of each character. The pacing of her reading was spot on. I never lost interest in either the storyline or the narrator. Both were great. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the narrations for each book in this fun series.

Love it

I love the characters in this book. Ava and Pernell are constantly under suspicion and have to prove themselves. Lots of action as Ava tries to learn her magic. Couldn’t stop listening.

Fairspell Academy - Easy to Enjoy YA book

I nearly didn’t continue this series via audiobook as I didn’t enjoy the narrator when I listened to the first book Pack Dragon, but decided to give it a go. I’m glad I did. The narrator seems to have finally settled into the reading and it was a lot more enjoyable.

The book picks up straight after the events of Pack Dragon with Ava enrolling at Fairspell Academy for dragon rider. It does a great job of dealing with the notion of discrimination because someone is different, and the banter and tension between Ava and Oliver is well written.

Small but Strong

Danger, suspense, action and more. We are following Eva and Perrell, but we also have Oliver and Hane. They arrive at the academy late and have a lot to make up. Others feel she should not be there, can she show them she and her dragon are just as good? What will happen when they join the tournament? Will they prove themselves?.
