Draigon Weather by Paige L. Christie
4.0
4 Stars
Draigon Weather is the first book in The Legacies of Arnan Series by Paige L. Christie. This was her debut novel, although she has released several more since. Draigon Weather is my first read from Ms. Christie, so I really didn’t know what to expect when I dove in. I knew by having read the blurb, that it held a lot of promise and hoped that it would satisfy all of my expectations. I am pleasantly surprised by what I found inside the covers of this book and am happy that I stumbled on the book in my recommended book feed. I love finding a new series, and author, to follow- and am excited to see where the rest of the series leads us, and what else Ms. Christie can create.
This is an epic and very original fantasy- with action, adventure, sci-fi and western elements, danger, intrigue, draigons, oppression, shame, secrets, lies, drama, friendship, families, truth, tragedy, courage, determination, and sacrifice. The story has depth, heart, and soul. It is entirely believable, as Ms. Christie created a complex world, and characters, who were so realistic- they were fully realised places, and individuals- brought to life by some clever word-smithing. And they continued to develop and grow as the story progressed.
The story is told from a duel (alternating) POV- which really gave me a great perspective of what was happening- and I really appreciated ‘hearing from both MC’s and getting to know them better.
I am really looking forward to book two and reading what comes next!
If you love a really great Sci-fi/fantasy- with wonderful originality, interesting characters, and enough intrigue to hold your attention……. then this is definitely the book for you!
Thank you, Paige L. Christie!
