About this listen

He's a quiet introvert. She's a brilliant blabbermouth. Can they work together to save the dragons and stop a war without annoying each other to death first?

Introvertia is–get ready for this–a kingdom full of introverts. People there enjoy reading, spending time at home or with one or two friends, and eating good food; you know how it goes. Small talk is explicitly banned in the constitution and no one will mind if you spend the entire day in the Reading Square with a good book. I bet you'd love it there.

Fifteen-year-old Eza Skywing is training to join the Rangers, the kingdom's legendary protectors–the ones who can talk to dragons! He's just finished his Year of Silence, the final step before getting a dragon of his very own, only to be devastated when he learns that hundreds of dragons have gone missing and there are none for his class at the Dragon Academy! What could possibly have happened?

Fifty miles away, on the far side of the Very Large Forest, the brilliant Cammie Ravenwood has just celebrated her sixteenth birthday. She loves living in Exclaimovia, with all its loud parties and chaotic streets and constant interruptions–although she hates the way people look at her sideways when she wants some time alone, in silence. That stings, but what could she do...flee to Introvertia?

Everything changes for Cammie when she learns a horrible secret: her people have stolen Introvertia's dragons and are planning to start a war. Her father, a famous general, will be thrown into danger again. There's no way Cammie will let that happen, so she does the unthinkable. She sets off for Introvertia, desperate to find someone who will help her.

Can Eza and Cammie team up to save the stolen dragons and stop a war...without annoying each other to death?

Entertaining, lighthearted fantasy with dragons

This was an entertaining listen. The goofy humor and the narrator’s delivery of it made me laugh. It took me a few chapters to get in to the world, and it felt a bit over explainy a couple of times, but also there were very good pet dragons and before long I was thoroughly enjoying myself. Very family friendly as well. I’m excited to share it with my kids.

Like How to Train Your Dragon, only Kinder

This book was genius, and I could hardly put it down. Two kingdoms, Exclaimovia and Introvertia, are about as opposite as you can imagine, but a plot involving missing dragons brings together a teenager from each kingdom to prevent a war. The two are quite opposites, which makes their interactions fun, but I also loved to see how they both challenged each other. There was also a huge emphasis on kindness and empathy, far more than I am used to seeing in middle-grade books with their focus on action. There was still plenty of action though.

I also want to give a shout-out to the narrator, Chris Jackman. This is his debut audiobook, and the quality was fantastic. His character voicings were also particularly well done. I could listen to him read all day.

I received a free audio ARC from the narrator and have reviewed it willingly.

Great young adult read

I listened to the audiobook in 2 days while on a road trip. The story is a young-adult action-adventure-fantasy with some light comedy. Imagine a cross between Harry Potter, How to Train Your Dragon, Pokemon, The Princess Bride, and Rumo. Light-hearted fun. The story drew out a few laughs that had me swerve out of my lane. Once my kids (ages 9 and 7 but reading at 7th grade and 4th grade levels) finish the book they are reading, this will be next in line. The audiobook performance is clear, entertaining, and without flaws. We will probably get the paperback too.

Cute story

The Dragons of Introvertia is a cute story that didn't quite seem to know what it wanted to be. The characters act and talk as if they are far younger than they are. At times, it seems like the story wants to be a fun, middle grade silly story exaggerating the differences between introverts and extraverts. However, at other times it seemed to want to be a story for older readers and tried to delve into more complex adventures.

I saw someone else call it "How to Train Your Dragon but sweeter" and I would have to agree with that assessment.

The main characters each come from opposite sides of the map in terms of culture, family, and general customs. It is fun to see them interact and learn that their family's way of doing things is not the only way to do things.

I will say that the authors seemed to be clearly biased towards introverts, as Introvertia and Introvertians are portrayed far more kindly than the Exclamovians, as if the authors were having a hard time coming up with annoying things or flaws with the Introvertian culture.

The dragons were cool, but I would have liked some more time with them. When a book has the word "dragons" in the title and the first few pages promised me interaction between humans and dragons, and then the dragons were quickly sidelined and the few that made it into the story didn't do much, it was a little disappointing.

The narration of this book is quite good. The narrator has a very soothing voice, which is always nice. He also does all the different voices, something I always appreciate.

I was given a free copy of the audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

This is a fun book in a magical world.

I enjoyed listening through this book, it's a lot of fun.

The characters are believable and enjoyable to watch interact with each other.

The world is a combination of fantastic and fun.

And there's a certain amount of tension to go with the humorous nature of the premise.

The narration is quite good too.

I recommend this book.

Absolutely loved the book and the narrator, cannot wait for the next book to come out, will impatiently wait tapping fingers and toes until then. Most definitely a good one to listen to.

cute story

I normally don't read YA so this was a pallette cleans from my usual litrpg and darker stories. This would be a great read/listen for younger readers but I did enjoy some of the punny names and the character growth.

good clean ya fantasy if that's your thing and definitely worth the read/listen

Great Narration, Good Story, I want to live in Introvertia!

My friend recommended this book to me because of the narrator and I really enjoyed how he read the story. The character voices were different enough to be helpful without being over the top, the pacing was good, and after awhile I forgot to pay attention to how the story was being read because I was so engrossed - which I always consider a sign of a good narrator ;).
