It will be okay. Lilac, calm down. You'll be all right!" Silvy turned pained eyes to Arthur. "She'll be all right, won't she, sir?" Arthur wished that Instructor Athena was there with him to help direct the dragon. But just as the rest of the class was doing formation drills… he was in training, too. As a Legendary rider, he was expected to train to be in charge. Doesn't have an artificially inflated word count, every paragraph gives you something ( story progression or character development)

The last reason Arthur disliked riding Brooks during practice drills, Brixaby became incredibly, obnoxiously jealous. Overall the story in book 2 has been quite good so far. The pacing of the stroy feels quite good however it is beginning to feel like Arthur is fighting against the world a little too much. Having characters struggle is definetly important but it is beginning to feel like Arthur can't catch a break. I dont fancy myself a critique so I'll only voice maybe my dislike for some childish plot twists but considering the target audience I dont expect any grimdark or solidly logical sensible character choices, so with that in mind I gave many parts the benefit of the doubt and understood the author did their best and you can feel it as trusting author most often resulted well, earning my review and appreciation.If you can’t tell the difference between a scourgeling and a dragon, you have no business being up in the air. Instructor Athena,” he turned to the woman. “This pair has proven themselves to be a liability in combat. I don’t want them anywhere near this class.” Relatively chill, not quite slice of life as while theres plenty of action, mc has a utility power. With a steady diet of card shards — as many as Arthur could get his hands on — Brixaby had grown more than eight times the size he’d been as a hatchling. An absolutely solid read with great writing, fun little magic card system and DRAGONS — while overdone in fantasy — made sense and felt right.

Arthur’s only concern was for Cressida and Joy. As Joy was a Rare, she took up the protected middle spot in the lower diamond.It was a common threat and Arthur thought Brixaby meant it this time... and he wasn’t sure he would stop him. His hesitation caused Silvy to fear the worst. Her eyes widened and she screamed. "Healer! Healer!" It hit Brixaby, and Brixaby’s natural magic nullified it. The green was only an Uncommon — the two tiers of difference between them helped. His dragon had been a natural flier right out of the shell, and he’d worked hard on leveling his flying skills since then.

His draconic eyesight was better than Arthur’s too. He gazed up into what looked to Arthur like endless blue sky. “Yes, they’re ready.” Brixaby concentrated for a moment, and Arthur knew his ridiculously deep voice was currently echoing in two dragons’ heads far above them. That had been a gift from a mind-mage card Brixaby had absorbed a few months ago.Not that anyone ever explains how to do that , Arthur thought. They act like bonding with a Legendary gave me a special leadership card. No, no, you'll be fine," Arthur said. "Look, the healers are nearly here." He pointed to the trio of two men and one woman who were running from the hive entrance. Four months into the six-month training course for new dragon riders, only Brixaby and the two purples were not yet considered large and strong enough to carry their riders. While an rrl frequent reader, I actually read this first on kindle and came here once I finished book 2 because I absolutely had to begin book 3 post haste. The card had been meant to inject subconscious thoughts into the minds of its victims to influence their actions. Brixaby had absorbed an aspect of that:
