What Risingshadow readers think about this book

6/10

Dragonborn is full of mystery and magic. It captures your interest and leaves u in suspense. Although the first few pages seem to be boring, dont give up on it. It takes a while to understand and after you get the story, you finally find it interesting. It is based on a 12 year old boy who is left behind, half way through his apprenticeship of becoming a wizard when his master suddenly passes away. Its about his journey during which he makes new friends, develops his skills and finds his true self. Later on in the story you will find it harder to understand what is happening and will leave u in confusion. but that soon clears up and you are directed back to the main plot. This is only the first volume, so the story does not end here. The suspense holds even to the last page and will leave you wanting for more.
