Dragon Outcast

Age of Fire, Book 3

By: E. E. Knight

Narrated by: David Drummond

"I'm sorry, hatchling. You are an outcast. You must learn to overcome on your own...."

Such was the welcome the young, nameless Copper dragon received upon breaking free of his shell. Crippled while battling his brother for dominance in the nest, he is all but ignored and discarded by his mother and father - the last of a dying breed. Forced to fend for himself, he learns the hard lessons of survival. When he's captured by vengeful dwarves, he buys his own life with the lives of those who rejected him - and pays a price he never imagined. Fleeing his guilt, the Copper finds himself far from all he knows. Rescued by unlikely, bloodthirsty saviors, he makes an extraordinary trek to the last bastion of free dragonkind. In this secret civilization, he finds a new family. They too are wary of the crippled, wild-bred dragon, but this time he's determined to prove himself equal to any enemy, on four legs or two, from the highest mountaintop to the deepest cave, as he pits his strength, wit, and courage in a contest for the survival---and domination---of dragonkind itself.

The ending how it all comes togethor.

Any additional comments?

Honestly, Copper is my favorite character,the underdog gets second chance, that he deserved!

Best of them all so far

The Copper’s story is the best so far. I enjoyed the first two- but the first seemed more about shock factor, and the second kind of a spin-off.
But this was well written and compelling. Didn’t know where it was going the whole time.

Better than expected

Where does Dragon Outcast rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It was probably a middle read for me out of the books I have listened to I enjoy the series which is why I listened to it else I wouldn't have just because of the dislike to the character, but the author does a great job making the outcast a more likable character if you hadn't read the initial books of series you would like him a lot.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I ingeneral like the main character the outcast but the bats really helped me along in the story Thernadad

Which scene was your favorite?

My favorite scene is when the outcast makes it to the the I elieve second battlefield and won't give up on injured dragons even though the rest think they are just meant to die and he stands up for them and helps to save the battle and those dragons lives

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The scene I described above which is why its my favorite

Exceptional! Well worth a read or two!!

This was fantastic! I can't wait to listen to the next and the next and the finale! So begins the age of fire!

A solid read

This book is possibly my favorite of the series. Copper fights tooth and claw to make his way to where he ends up and ot had my skin crawling in anticipation and excitement.
