I've seen other reviews that criticise the book maxim that nothing too interesting happens and I have to disagree.
Yes, the pace is a lot slower than many other fantasy novels just how fast practice you expect to move on the snow 😂? Jokes aside I think the enjoyment of this book lies in following the details. Every little thing counts and helps to build upwardly the tension.

This book was everything I expected from it without being overly platitude.I've seen other reviews that criticise the volume saying that null too interesting happens and I have to disagree.
Yeah, the pace is a lot slower than many other fantasy novels merely how fast do you wait to move on the snow 😂? Jokes bated I call back the enjoyment of this book lies in following the details. Every little affair counts and helps to build up the tension.
There'due south a few things I really like about this book.
I like that the primary character grows in the volume. He has a specific perception that he doesn't want to alter for anything until he realises that there was more than meets the eye. He changes his mindset eventually.
I also like that he didn't immediately get his 'power' from the pearls. He tried and tried and tried and failed continuously even when he was in danger. He wasn't the cliche hero who could miraculously yield powers on the first or 2nd try. I just recollect that information technology made him more existent.
The description of the setting was dandy. The mood is easily created and honestly you volition really enjoy reading this book on a common cold day. It merely enhances the experience :D.

Make certain to be most a hot fire when reading, cause at that place certain are many descriptions and moments that made my toes feel frozen while reading! I loved the story and cant await to read Book ii and go to know the dragon!
I had misgivings from the 1st book but finally gave up on the third book Woods Dragon. This is a attestation to how the globe created was alluring and drew me in despite the poor storyline. The author has a rambling writing manner that tin can be hard to follow and lacks flow specially the endless repetition
Dragon Misfits is the quaternary series of the author that i have read and abandoned. I liken the author to Bella Forrest, they both create varied and interesting settings but the story is a let down.I had misgivings from the 1st book but finally gave up on the tertiary book Forest Dragon. This is a testament to how the world created was alluring and drew me in despite the poor storyline. The writer has a rambling writing style that can be hard to follow and lacks catamenia peculiarly the endless repetition of earlier parts of the story ( the amount of times the death of the main characters father is mentioned is ridiculous, no we exercise not demand reminding of this every chapter!!)
The illusion part of the story is just pure craziness from starting time to finish. The plot only seems to be made upwardly as we get along without information technology beingness fully planned from offset to terminate to make sure that information technology remains consequent. Ane of my many faults as a reader is I can't overlook inconsistentcy. In these fictional settings the author makes all the rules so they shouldn't exist breaking them.
The author lacks adequate description of the utilize of magic that they have invented, using the words 'Button' 'Pull' and 'Describe' over and once again doesn't give the reader any idea of what is happening.

So we spend a LOT of time wandering around in the snow. At least the cold of the snow is believable. I've read too many books where it isn't.
The plot is relatively simplistic in that in that location was a point in the story where I wondered if information technology was a YA book. And, yup, it
Not quite certain what rating to give this one... 3.75 stars? There's a little disconnect in the beginning where some things are repeated. Maybe the author edited the get-go or something that caused it. Not super noticeable, though.Then we spend a LOT of time wandering effectually in the snow. At least the common cold of the snow is conceivable. I've read besides many books where it isn't.
The plot is relatively simplistic in that there was a signal in the story where I wondered if it was a YA book. And, yup, it is. So, that explains quite a few things and I adjusted my viewpoint.
I like the characters enough to desire to read the next book in the serial. What happened to the affair he stuck in his pocket?
Would I read information technology again? Yeah, I think I would which says quite a bit considering all of the books I haven't had the patience to fifty-fifty finish. Lol

I received an advance review copy for complimentary, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.This is an action packed story in the snowy mountains, where Jason Dreshen lives. He is not like any other, he has 1 argent eye, that is called the dragon sight. In the village he lives, people fearfulness dragons and Jason's father has been killed by a dragon. He ticks of all the boxes of existence a misfit, but on the nighttime of the Liberty Festival, his life inverse forever.
He meets a stranger who has ii silvery eyes, his proper noun is Therin. Slowly he starts to now the world outside his hamlet, and a urban center filled with dragons, when a storm forced him from the mountain right into the arms of Therin. Only Therin isn't who he claims to be, and when Jason is chased past Dragon Souls, his life is in danger.
When an avalanche forces him to the valley of the mountains, he comes to know that in this urban center the dragons are a myth. It is here, where the pace picks upward, when he is chased by the Dragon Souls. Only he gets help from an unexpected corner to outrun the Dragon Souls.
Now a struggle goes on in Jason between hating the dragons or accepting them for what they are. This story picks up slowly, just when it picks up y'all don't desire to put it downwards. The snow globe is astonishing, having to navigate through an e'er changing landscape. Also exciting when we slowly become drawn into the world of dragons. Are they bad or good? It depends on experience or knowledge of them. Will Jason be able to come to terms with information technology? At that place are and then many twists and unexpected turns in this story.
Will the Dragon Souls capture him or tin can he escape? And why are they up the mountain and so far? What are they looking for? An ice chilling activity,adventure story and a journey to cocky reflection of who Jason really is.

I enjoy D. K Holmberg's work and am always excited to kickoff a new series. These books are low-cal reading, geared to a YA audience without all the angsty teen stuff. Character development is definitely at the young adult level, and then if yous are looking for more gritty high fantasy or sword or sorcery, this book is more similar the Drew Hayes than Mark Lawrence.Jason lives in a very harsh frozen country, where starvation and freezing to death are a daily concern. Jason has always known that he's different, but in his hamlet, that'south non a proficient thing. His frozen little customs lives hidden in the snowfall, living in a way to avoid dragon attacks.
But this year, during a community celebration of life and survival, some strangers have come to boondocks and Jason'due south simple, just fell, life is rocked by the discovery of dragons living nearby. Many reviews comment well-nigh the slow kickoff to the volume, but to me it served to set the scened for the cadre survival that is top of listen for Jason when he begins to acquire the globe is bigger, more dangerous, and more colorful than the pure white frozen globe he lives in.

Intriguing Starting timeThis book wasn't what I expected. The run of the mill dragon volume had a hero with dragon friends or existence saved past dragons or even turning into a dragon.

This book was a very long and verbose read yet from the beginning the storyline kept me wondering what adjacent and every bit such kept me reading until I was completely hooked and determined to stick with information technology. I'one thousand glad it did because it has built a solid foundation for what I'm sure is to follow. We've a hero not totally into himself, non a physical specimen impervious to danger, or a magnet for success. This hero seems more existent. More adamant. More of the type to abound into. I've become enamored with the story so far and intend to peruse it to it's end. If something dissimilar in dragon stories is desired, I highly recommend this one for starters.

Having read the Cloud Warrior Saga, I looked for something similar and thought why non check out Holmberg's other series? After finding this serial, I hoped information technology would be somewhat similar to the CWS but not an verbal re-create, and that'south exactly what I found.I constitute it a niggling bit ho-hum at the first ,though trusting Holmberg, equally I got further in I found it really enjoyed the book. Had a similar sort of start to the CWS which I enjoyed but was not exactly the same and has some things that are quite different about this series, that I establish quite interesting.
Perhaps, I read this book within 2 days because I hadn't read a fantasy book for a while or just because I hadn't read a good fantasy book for a while, I'one thousand non really sure.
But, if you enjoyed the Cloud Warrior Saga - I'm certain you lot are spring to enjoy the Dragon Misfits series.

So yea.... the story is a convoluted mess until kindle 2112 ... there is little to no interesting scrap to keep yo involved or even reading. Perchance the author wanted to make clear the absolute hopelessness of the snow capped mountains the main character comes for but honestly information technology was simply deadening.

Thankfully I didn't have to buy this book equally information technology is part of kindle prime. Ugh sheer disappointment
The hero is nearly an idiot. It takes a deft manus to have a grapheme be naive but likable. Unfortunately, that is not the case here. Without giving away too much, consider the following equally an instance. The hero withholds information from his allies supposedly to protect another. Notwithstanding, their enemy is aware of the information and the hero knows information technology. He "hopes" that the enemy doesn't render soon. Then, he withholds that same data nigh the enemy from his family unit, "hoping" the enem
Really two.5The hero is nearly an idiot. It takes a deft manus to have a graphic symbol be naive but likable. Unfortunately, that is not the example hither. Without giving abroad too much, consider the following as an example. The hero withholds information from his allies supposedly to protect another. However, their enemy is enlightened of the information and the hero knows it. He "hopes" that the enemy doesn't render soon. And then, he withholds that same information virtually the enemy from his family, "hoping" the enemy doesn't come up back. Actually??! ROLLING MY EYES. It's articulate the enemy isn't dead. Geez. Stupid, idiotic characters badger me, and using stupidity as a plot device is lazy.

Not sure how m Probably closer to 4.5, well written & trots a long at a good footstep. Any Eragon fans are going to run into more than a passing familiarity, in fact I would get on to say that this is a better written twin. The theme is in the title so I'm not giving anything away by saying I did come across a glaring error, mayhap DK will clear that up if he reads his reviews, the first fourth dimension that Jason thinks he sees something it has golden eyes yet when he does finally run across the dragon he has silver optics?

For me, the about of import thing about a book is the corporeality of enjoyment I get out of reading it.This volume was so much fun!!! Sure, some things were just a niggling predictable only I generally don't intendance well-nigh that. The volume brought me exactly what I was looking for. Dragons, an adventure and a main graphic symbol that has lots of room for personal growth. I plant Jason to exist very likable, and the improver off William, though slightly dubious and hasty, had me grinning and groaning through small parts of the story.
I am very much looking forward to the next book in the series, Iron Dragon.
...more than DK is an awesome writer. This book starts out with a swain named Jason. It presently tells of his adventure through an icy mountain and soon finds himself a part of something much bigger than himself. Loved the book. If you lot like suspense, intrigue, and dragons, this is definitely for y'all. I tin can't await to see what all Jason finds out about himself and his part in this new world he finds himself in.
The series might be great, but this book's pacing was a real drag. To sum upwards the kickoff 25% of the story - hero is sad and hungry, dragons are bad but everyone loves dragon wearable, and mountains are actually cold. I appreciate globe edifice and dorsum story, merely all that writing and we become significantly less information than the teaser on the product page.
Perchance it gets better, but I stopped at 30% and have no involvement to continue.
A very interesting story, filled with fresh characters and content. There's a lot of potential hither. All in all a expert book, only it did accept a very long time (~70% washed) to find its ground action-wise and actually start moving along. As a offset book though it can be hard to introduce your characters and their environment, and environments don't get much harsher than this ane. I'll stick by to see what happens.
Jason lives in the mountains where there is always snow. He lost his father a year ago and was told a dragon killed him.
A stranger come to his hamlet and there starts his journey.
He finds out almost how his father actually died. He is thrown into
A world of dragons and dragon souls. His life is about to modify
This ane started out but a little scrap slow, but I cared near the primary grapheme, so that was fine. Once I got near a third of the way through the book, information technology actually picked upwardly, and I binged the remainder of the book.
Rating: 9/10
This book was a groovy start to another serial by Holmberg. I accept no thought how he manages to write so many good books and then speedily, but I'm not complaining.This one started out just a little chip tiresome, but I cared near the main graphic symbol, so that was fine. Once I got about a third of the way through the volume, it really picked upwards, and I binged the rest of the book.
