Dragon Champion (Age of Fire, Book 1) Review

Dragon Champion is a fictional novel that was written by E. E. Knight. This fictional story is of the Fantasy genre. It deals heavily with dragons and their niche in the world. Hosting a variety of classical races, which include elves, and dwarves, the story touches on the basics of fantasy lore while exploring new territory, and new ideas. A new land, with new races, and time-honored racial conflicts allows this story to touch on the old, while creating a fresh and energizing perspective into the world of dragons.

Dragon Champion is the story of Auron, a newly born dragon hatchling, and his experience with the world as he grows up. It begins on a sad note with his separation from his parents and family. Auron must learn to survive in the world using his wit, physical prowess, and his innate dragon abilities. Through various interactions with other races, Auron gains new perspectives that allow him to overcome his stature shortcomings and excel as a dragon.

Although being an avid fan of dragons makes the beginning of the story difficult to read, E. E. Knight was able to create a vivid world that casts dragons in a semi-unique light. Not since the olden tales that depict dragons being hunted by brave knights does an author skillfully encapsulate the experience of the hunted. Telling the story from a dragon's perspective allows a new tale to unfold that highlights an animalistic perspective, while also encompassing the higher intelligence of this fantastic race.

E. E. Knight creates a fanciful and original world with vivid descriptions and an original plot. Unorthodox humor is shown in multiple ways including original verbiage and dialogue, and racial interactions. This creates ongoing interest and long-lasting charm. I found the Dragon Champion's plot to be enjoyable, and the characters to be memorable. Although there were some parts that seemed to drag-on, the overall book flowed well with more twists than a dragon's tail. It was a solid read, and proud addition to my book collection.
