About this listen
In search of Thanksgiving...
When the older dragonlings share a magical tale of unfulfilled love and Thanksgiving, Morah Reykill and the younger dragonlings vow to find Thanksgiving and help her heal. Unaware of the twists of fate awaiting them, the young dragonlings’ path intersects with more than a lonely young human woman, but also with a fugitive dragon warrior burdened by a haunting past.
In the dragon-shifting world of Valdier, Crystal Anderson seeks solace from the dangers that threatened her on Earth. The tranquility she craves eludes her when she senses she is being watched. Determined to protect her newfound peace, she confronts the dark shape lurking in the woods outside her cottage… and discovers another wounded soul.
Devon Reykill lives in isolation, haunted and hunted by others of his kind. His carefully maintained secrecy unravels when his symbiot brings Crystal into his life, forcing him to confront not only his own demons but also the complex reactions of his dragon and symbiot.
Devon’s carefully laid plans for escape dissolve into chaos when a group of dragonlings suddenly appear. When he is captured, a newfound family emerges, offering unexpected support and love, and Crystal becomes a beacon of healing for him, despite her own scars.
Immerse yourself in this enchanting tale, where the dragonlings embark on a quest that unravels the true meaning of Thanksgiving, weaving together the threads of family, love, and newfound purpose. A NY Times and USA Today bestselling author, the internationally acclaimed S.E. Smith presents a new action-packed story of mischief and adventure in this adorable novella! Iconic characters and unpredictable twists have won her a legion of fans. Over TWO MILLION books sold!

Story
As a third daughter on the farming colony of Meterion, Susan’s future prospects aren’t too promising. A pretty face, top-notch skills, and hard work mean nothing if your dowry doesn’t include fertile lands. With her 25th birthday approaching, and no suitors, her only way out is to settle for an arranged marriage through the PMA - the Prime Mating Agency. She just never expected to be paired with a grumpy, massive lizardman, and above all not to grow so fond of his scales and quirky ways.

I love S. E. Smith. Johnathan Strait is a really great reader. But I feel that David Brenin should have continued the readings of these stories. H8s voice is more suitable for the dragonlings and Johnathan should be doing the narration of the adults. Either way S. E. Smith's books have great readers

Love love love the Dragonlings
This is my first book with the new narrator. I’m so used to David Brennen that it was jarring to hear a different voice. I will say that it’s harder to distinguish the characters from each other. All the males sound the same. He did better differentiating the kids voices but even that was a little weird to me. But overall I loved the story and the introduction of new people to the universe.

Great reminder
this story ( just like all the other dragonlings stories ) reminded us not to judge others by there color or parents actions. it's what they do and what's in their heart that count. very fun well written story.

Love the story not do much the narrator.
The narrator mispronounced the names of many of the characters. After listening to most of the stories being narrated by David this was such a difficult listen. David did so much better at voicing each character and actually giving each their own personality. This is the second of S E Smith’s audio and that I’ve listened to with this narrator and both were painful to listen to. Please redo with David.

The narration ruined it for me. I couldnt finish i
Not sure why the change from David as narrator, but he excelled at bringing the drsgonnlings to life with their unique characters. I am sure Jonathon is a good narrator but the lisping way he spoke for the dragonlings ruined it for me. I coukdnt ginish the book. There was more focus on the way they spoke than on their character as they spoke. I had a hard tome following who was who in such a large group of children. Also, not all children speak as if the were born with Downs, who are precious souls and not to be mimicked, even without intending harm.
Similar loss of character inflection with the adults.
S E. I have ALL of your books and love them. This is the second one that the narration ruined it for me. The other was Havens song.
Can you bring David back?
