Booklist - 10/01/2024 Despite living in a universe teeming with dragons, Lunar Jones hasn’t experienced much wonder growing up on Mars. He was orphaned long ago, and after Mars’ resident dragon was killed, the cursed planet has become increasingly inhospitable to humans. Lunar scavenges for scrap to keep himself afloat, but after one expedition goes awry, he takes refuge in an underground military school preparing young recruits and one secret dragon to save their planet. A last-minute reprieve sees Lunar tapped to train, too, and it will take all of his hard-won street smarts to manage hostile peers, potential allies, a galaxy in turmoil, and an enormous dragon who may not be what he appears. This fantastic first entry in the Dragonship series is incredibly imaginative, combining intriguing dragon lore, fierce friendships, and full-tilt action into a whirlwind story sure to keep readers riveted. It’s part sf (dragon spaceships!), part fantasy, and all enormous fun, complete with a twist ending that will leave the audience eagerly awaiting future installments. A rollicking reminder to remember your roots and stay open to the unexpected. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
