Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Good narrator, poor story
Revisado: 01-20-25
I see why this has become the best seller that it is, but it’s really just another GoT, Hunger Games, etc recycle of storylines and characters. The main character is so hard to empathize with and like. Daughter of a powerful family is forced to be a warrior instead of an academic. I had a hard time actually caring about her succeeding which makes the entire book difficult to read. It is mostly paced well but that starts to falter as the romance kicks in. The story ends and I’m not interested at all to read the next one. I could probably outline the next two books with their main plot points, it’s a tried and tiring story thread that’s been done before and done better.
The narrator was very good though. It’s gets two stars overall for the quality of the narrator.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 49
An Epidemic of Absence asks what will happen in developing countries, which, as they become more affluent, have already seen an uptick in allergic disease: Will India end up more allergic than Europe? Velasquez-Manoff also details a controversial underground movement that has coalesced around the treatment of immune-mediated disorders with parasites. Against much of his better judgment, he joins these do-it-yourselfers and reports his surprising results.

Great book, terrible narrator
Revisado: 07-20-18
This book had the worst narrator I have ever heard in an audio book. His constant up talk inflection at the end of every sentence made this book unlistenable. I read it instead and can say that the content is fascinating and worth reading. Wish they had choose. Another narrator, and I’ve noted his name and will avoid any books he’s narratored going forward.
