The Defenders' Apprentice

I really enjoyed this book. It's the first time I've read anything by this author and I was pleasantly surprised by a well-developed plot, excellent characters, and an interesting fantasy and coming of age story.
Some stories start slow and then get better but this one was interesting and moving at a good pace from beginning to end.
I'm anxiously waiting for the second book in the series coming out in September.

Great first book of a new series

I enjoyed this book, the first in the Dragonsfall series. Author Amelia Smith tells a great, well-paced story. The characters are well developed and the action scenes are very good. There was little gratuitous violence and the fantastical side of it, not withstanding the dragons, is not overdone. It really is a character-driven story. I look forward to reading the other books in the series

I totally enjoyed this book, great world building and pace to the text, character development was good, can't wait for the next in the series.
