Dragonfriend eBook Marc Secchia
I bought this book because of the fabulous cover art (and because I love dragons). The first third of the book was seamlessly perfect and so compelling I couldn't put it down. But then the pacing became uneven as scenes I wanted to "see" were skipped over or told in flashback, which became a little frustrating. The writing overall, however, is superb. The world building is one of the best I've ever read, and the dragons of all sizes are fantastically rendered! I admired the young main character's grit and courage, but her "love interest" was not believable because those crucial scenes were skipped over. There was one disturbing scene of what seemed to be "dragon lust" but other than that the book is a reliable PG-13 for fantasy violence, so suitable for older teens. I am looking forward to reading the rest of Mr. Secchia's books in this fascinating world.Product details

Dragonfriend eBook Marc Secchia Reviews
I read a lot. I used to read a LOT of fantasy. And then the stories got so trite and identical and formulaic that I could read the first paragraph, see how it would end, and chuck it aside. So when I was tempted into buying this book, I did it with a sigh.
Boy, was I WRONG! What a fresh, new, interesting, intriguing, lush, scary, beautiful world Marc Secchia has built here. I almost could not put this book down from beginning to end. Real, deep, intense characters that you cannot help but love from the heroine to the dragons. No one is perfect or all powerful, but everyone is sure trying hard. Well, but the bad guys who are - BAD. But wait, maybe...
Well, I don't want to spoil it for anyone. But trust me - this is a great book if you loved fantasy and dragons once, but got tired of the retreads. Here, at last, is something rich and new and wonderful.
I am unashamedly obsessed with dragons. And now, I'm adding dragonets to my obsession list.
This is the story of an orphan adopted into the royal family. Of an evil man with a secret bent on taking over the throne. Of a dragonet with the courage of an ancient dragon. Of a dragon who defies rules and taboos. Of an order of warrior monks who train a royal ward. A story of abuse, longing, tragedy, courage, danger, love, and magic. It was witty with many pages making me laugh out loud. It was scary with many pages making me wish they'd get the battles over with and hope my favorites are still alive and well. It was sad with pages that made me weep for all that was suffered and lost. It was hopeful with pages that made me glad to see bonds of friendship formed, tried to be true, and strengthen.
The mystery behind Lia is slow in unraveling but by no means is it a drag. The story is equal parts heart-stopping and slow-moving. And the Dragons! Such complexity to them! Everything from their color to their magic to their mannerism even their anatomy is in this story and I loved every minute of it.
I will not give away any spoilers. I will say the writing is superb! The story is epic! There are no one-dimensional "main" characters. You'll love this story. And I purchasing the second book as soon as I hit "submit" on this review
Nothing better for a book-lover than to be given a book to read, especially one that is to our liking! I was lucky enough to receive an advanced review copy of M. Secchia's Dragonfriend. I love reading fantasy and am always in awe of authors who go iut of their way to create brave new worlds many of us would like to visit or live in. Knowing full well such magic only exists in books and movies, I readily grabbed the text and dove into reading.
From the very first chapter, thrilling and action-packed, you just love the heroine and will probably, just the way I did, devour the following pages, rooting for her and her dragonet friend (no more spoilers ahead, I promise to be very careful about that) throughout all their hardships and friendships. Whether you are a teenage fantasy fan or an adult with an adventurous heart, this intriguing story will lure you in from the start.
Spectacular landscapes, amazingly graphic action scenes, gorgeous descriptions with plenty of detail... My absolute favourite scenes are the ones in which the differences in the world, habits, traditions and capabilities of humans and mythical creatures are displayed, with so much humour, insight and emotion, that a proper fantasy fan will relish in every discourse line and every thought shared telepathically between the characters. In this kind of a book, I like to be able to feel the story with all my senses, and the author writes using them - he shares the sounds and silence, the scents and touch, and shows you what he sees, so you can be immersed in reading, just the way a good movie will do, and even better.
I mean, if you don't enjoy all that in a fantasy book, then how about majestic creatures described with such detail that you can imagine them in the room next to you, feel their breaths and hear their thoughts in your heads? Life-threatening situations which will have you gripping the covers or your readers till your knuckles are white? And if that doesn't do the trick, a human girl in the midst of the battle of worlds with... oh no, no spoilers! Go ahead, read the book if you dare!
And then hope for the sequel soon, with the rest of the fans! Pure fantasy, with all the flavours you need in a great fantasy adventure!
