A Dragon Fantasy for All Ages that is a great read for any teenagers, adults, or preteens who love adventure and dragons. This is a perfect mix of Science Fiction and Fantasy and Mythology. Can one young gifted boy take on the immensely powerful Black Dragon? 'This book is an awesome re- imagining for preteens. It has elements of fantasy and sci fi. It revolves around friendship, bravery, following your heart and becoming a hero the world needs.' Today is Alec-Ryuu’s thirteenth birthday. And he takes his final test in preparation for joining the resistance against the dreaded and powerful Black Dragon. Nonmagical beings have been forced into hiding by the dragon’s rule, and Alec-Ryuu’s small village lives under the constant threat of exposure and enslavement. Alec-Ryuu, or Ryuu as he prefers to be called, is not your average human. He is the son of a being of great power—stronger, smarter, and faster than friends and rivals alike. A gold-embroidered box in a cliffside cave sits waiting for Ryuu and his friends. The box’s contents offer the strength to finally strike back at the Black Dragon, should the young warriors have the opportunity. But that opportunity may be over before it begins. Emissaries of the Black Dragon have discovered Ryuu’s village, and the time has come for the ultimate choice: surrender to a life of slavery, or fight—and possibly die—for freedom. A fascinating mix of fantasy, science fiction, and mythology, Dragon Knight Chronicles begins the story of Ryuu’s struggle against the most powerful being in the galaxy.

Review

(5/5)
Reviewer's Overview:Alec-Ryuu Jun Yamamoto is a 13-year-old boy who lives in a hidden world, with many other orphans and refugees that are seeking to hide from the dreaded Black Dragon and their emissaries. The Black Dragon wants to enslave all non-magical beings due to their inferiority.
Ryuu is oblivious to his background as the possible destroyer of the Black Dragon. Or to rephrase, the information is withheld from him by his foster parents, in order to protect him. But his foster parents knowingly bestow him all the training they can, until they can finally reveal who he is. And when the time comes and the Dragon Knights resurface, Ryuu may have a little less tight of a chance at surviving.
*This book is part of a series.

Review:Overall Plot (5/5): It's a war between 2 sides. The one that wants peace, by allowing the magical and non-magical beings to mingle and share knowledge and power. And the one that wants to reign, by herding and enslaving non-magical beings, due to the vast difference in power between the two sides. Quick paced with descriptive writing and consistent storyline.
Overall Character Composition (5/5): As expected, we focus on the main character, but the author also does great in describing the personalities and state of mind of the secondary characters, and I found myself growing sympathetic to them.
Overall Engagement (5/5): It was a page-turner. There was always something happening, and though this first book follows a tight time schedule in Ryuu's life, it is marvelously and so descriptive as to the fights and movements, and cause and consequences.

Reviewer's Personal Opinion:This was an interesting stepping stone out of my comfort zone. While I've read many young adult books, this is the first one I read, that dabbles into science fiction and space travel adventures. I quite liked this book, because it exceeded my expectations of it and gave me a good insight into a genre that I may be continuing to read.

Good First Fantasy Book in a Promising Series

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 10, 2023

On Alec-Ryuu's thirteenth birthday, he joins the resistance against the powerful Black Dragon. So starts a good fantasy and science fiction story which will be told over three books. Nonmagical beings have been forced into hiding by the dragon’s rule, and Alec-Ryuu’s small village lives under the constant threat of exposure and enslavement. But Alec-Ryuu is not your average human. He's the son of a being of great power—stronger, smarter, and faster than friends and rivals alike, and he will take on the Dragon during the course of these novels. Overall, a fascinating mix of fantasy, science fiction, and mythology, the Dragon Knight Chronicles begins the story of Ryuu’s struggle against the most powerful being in the galaxy. I recommend it to those who love fantasy novels.

This novella is jam-packed with dragons, samurai, ninjas, elves, androids, and more - perfect for fans of fantasy and sci-fi. The Chosen One storyline follows a 13-year-old main character and the world-building is imaginative and unique. While there were some mechanical errors, the fast-paced action and dramatic arc made it an entertaining read. The author clearly has a vivid imagination, but could benefit from better editing and formatting. Overall, it's a fun and exciting read for lazy Sunday afternoons. If you like dragons and fast-paced action, this is definitely the book for you!

Fun Fantasy Adventure

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 11, 2023

Verified Purchase

Fun story, lots of action, fun characters, good adventure, moves quickly. Young adult and maybe mid-grade readers will probably enjoy it, does have light swearing and some violence. Character physical descriptions could have been a little more original/interesting/varied. Some of the narrative language gets a little repetitive and the book needs a real editing for this and for spelling errors, etc. Good setup for future books.

Creates Interest but Leaves the Reader Looking for Answers

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 9, 2023

Dragon Knight Chronicles: The Awakening is the first of a three part series. The story begins with a mystery - a flying dragon is trying to escape enemies and crosses into a new universe to escape. The dragon is pregnant and lands in a small earth-like village where she turns into a humanoid being, gives birth then leaves her children with residents, asking that her babies be protected. One, named Ryuu, is left with a friend, who had to find placements for the other two.

So far the story was interesting. Why did the mother do this? What happened to all three childr. As far as the mother is concerned, we wait throughout the book for an answer. As far as the other children, we must wait further.

After the first chapter the story fast forwards twelve years into the future and we learn of the strengths and weaknesses of the now young man, Ruu. What also eventually learn is that the child has a special calling. Joining him are friends from the village in which he grows up.

The story does describe Ruu with some detail. It tells of his amazing skills and his challenges. We see playful interactions with peers and come to fondly admire Ruu. We see him in action and his adolescent behavior is typical despite his other-worldly origin.

The story has an interesting climax but left a few too many unanswered questions. Hopefully these questions will be addressed in future books of the series.

Book one in dragon knight chronicles was a good fun mix of fantasy, which was sweeping and science-fiction. There’s also lots of meth and story behind it all. The story is the beginning of following Rai you, a young man destined to a mighty future. My favourite bits about this book were the pacing, the strength of the female protagonist, and the grand sweeping nature of the story.

A solid fantasy/sci fi book that was enjoyable on the whole. Slightly geared more towards the young adult audience I'd say, but it's written really well and did have me turning the pages excited to find out what happened next, which is always a good thing.
All in all it's a really solid, enjoyable book.
