DRAGONRIDER is the first book in this trilogy, with each book from the perspective of one of the men. This time, it was Kirby. He is a mage, down on his luck, lost in the Welsh countryside when we first meet him. He's young and doesn't quite understand why he's doing this but needs the money. I loved the comment about the number of Welsh castles! Anyway, when he arrives, he finds out that he's just filling in numbers for a dragon to choose from. Obviously, even in a world where mages exist, dragons are still a thing of myth. To everyone's surprise, including Kirby's, he's the one the dragon chooses... so let the fun begin!

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Knowing it was from Kirby's perspective helped me power through when I really REALLY wanted more from Cai and Harlen. I honestly can't wait for their books. Kirby is dealt a few surprises in here, especially considering he knows zip about dragons or their riders. I do wish Cai and Harlen had integrated him a bit more but I'm hoping the reason for this will be told in later books.

There is one character I absolutely loathe - as intended. In fact, I disliked him before I met him but once he was there in person, that dislike intensified. I really hope he has his comeuppance in future books!

Anyway, there is a bit of a twist near the end that broke my heart. I know it's only the first book but it can't stop there! And when is book 2 available because I don't know if my heart will cope with a long wait!!!

A brilliant story that I thoroughly enjoyed and definitely recommend to all dragon lovers out there.
