About this listen

 "Gray dragons are different, my son. It means you must be careful; your skin will be pierced more easily. But on the other hand, having no hunger for gems and gold will allow you to live in the Upper World and far from men."

High in the mountains, deep in the safety of a cave, a brood of dragons is born. The four young ones are among the last of a dying breed - the final hope for dragons' survival. But hope shatters when a murderous group of slave-trading dwarves breaks into the cave, leaving death and destruction in its wake.

Only young Auron, a rare scaleless gray dragon, manages to escape. Armed with nothing save wit, claws, and a boundless determination to survive, he seeks his kind. But to find other dragons - or at least discover who's killing them off - Auron will have to search a world of mercenary elves, vicious humans, and dangers of all kinds. Winning allies in the strangest places - and finding himself along the way - Auron embarks on the journey of a thousand-year lifetime.

I have been searching for a new book series to read and a friend recommended that I read this novel.

I was immediately enraptured by the story. I had never read anything from the perspective of a dragon.

This has been one of my favorite novels of all time.

the author doesn't understand the concept of "show, don't tell". the experiences of baby dragons are described without any sort of immersion. Describing something by saying it smells like ammonia is something of which dragons would have no understanding. they're two smart to believe they're newborns, but they talk about humans whom they have just learned of like they've been schooled on the history of mankind. it makes no sense.
