Reviews
Dragon Rider
My book jumps from page 86 to 55, and back up again. All in all this is a brilliant start to a new series and Jonathan Stroud, in my humble opinion, is one of the best fantasy writers for YA (and fully grown adults) currently on the block. The interplay between the characters is wonderful, it's witty and clever, at times hilarious and at others heart-breakingly revealing. Regardless of this print error, Stroud will always hold a special place with me, so I'm still rating 5 stars and not letting this discourage me in finishing the book!

From the very first page we are launched into an inventive and perilous world populated by strange and vicious creatures and even stranger and more vicious humans. The characters are a dream, both Scarlett and Albert leap off the pages fully formed and ready to fight (especial in Scarlett's case), and I can see them becoming every bit as beloved as the Lockwood crew.
