This is where it all began
This book has inspired thousands of fantasy tales, it is regarded as one of the most important fantasy works of all time. An exciting tale of hobbits, dragons and probably the best wizard of all time, Gandalf. You should seriously read this, along with the Lord of the Rings.

This is an Audible original, which I'd heard - pre-listening - as probably best described as "World War Z, but with Dragons"

Which did prove to be pretty much spot on.

Like World War Z, this takes the form of epistolary storytelling: all presented as if audio recordings of interviews (and personal journals) of journalist Neve Pride, as she witnesses the 'eruption' of Dragons from the earth, and the devastation that follows.

As epistolary storytelling, I found certain sections to be slower than others - I also find that, as it is presented as interviews post events, I also miss the immediacy of the action. That, I find, is a drawback of this type of storytelling device.

A world I want to live in
It took me 3 attempts to get in to this series but once I was past page 17 I was hooked.
Who doesn't want to get lost in a world of dragons and deceit, honour and family?
I can't wait to see how it ends... come on George, send us a raven!
