Review: The Royal Dragoneers by M.R. Mathias


  A Fantasy thriller from start to finish, this book has so many twists, turns and dilemas that one should not be allowed to read it unless you're on the edge of your seat! It starts out with Jenka, a teenage boy who is out hunting for deer. Hitting the deer with an accurate arrow, it runs before dying, giving chase he ends up staying in the hills to gaurd his kill from trolls or anything else which may be around. Then, something very unexpected happens, a dragon saves him from a gang of trolls! As time moves on he comes to the understanding that he has bonded with the dragon, not only that, but there are other dragoneers out there.

In this very well descripted world of magic, orcs, trolls, goblins and dragons comes a new peril; a flying demon mounted by the Goblin King, intent on destroying the world of men is massing together all the trolls and goblins for war. Meanwhile, Jenka is taken on a journey to meet the King to tell his story of surviving the trolls and dragon. Along the way he meets and makes friends with charachters who may or may not be fellow dragoneers (no spoilers here). But war hits the land behind him as he makes his journey to the King with the sole intent of requesting the bounty on the life of dragons to be lifted.

This book is a great start into this Fantasy Series called The Dragoneers Saga, and the book was left with a question mark about what might happen in the next installment. The charachters are realistic, yet by far my favourite charachter was Zah, because of her very likeable personality but also because she wields the power of magic! If you like dragons, then surely this is the book for you, I promise you that you won't put it down until the last page has been read !!
