Firebolt (The Dragonian Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

Dragons. Right.

Teenage girls don’t believe in fairy tales, and sixteen-year old Elena Watkins was no different. Until the night a fairy tale killed her father.

Now Elena’s in a new world, and a new school.

The cutest guy around may be an evil dragon, a Prince wants Elena’s heart, and a long dead sorcerer may be waking up to kill her. Oh. And the only way Elena’s going to graduate is on the back of a dragon of her own. Teenage girls don’t believe in fairy tales. Now it’s time for Elena to believe – in herself.




Q. Tell us what the novel/series is about.
A. Firebolt is the first novel in the series. It’s about a sixteen-year-old girl, Elena Watkins, who is taken to a world called Paegeia. She learns the hard truth that once you enter you can never leave. The key to Paegeia’s survival comes in the form of a formidable sword that was stolen. The series is about bravery, growing, finding herself and where she belongs, and becoming the person she is meant to be, mixed in with loads of dragons, magic and romance. I personally have a thing for dragons. If the fictional kind existed, I would probably have a colony. The dragons I created for my world shifts into humans, not the other way around, as they are born dragons, or hatched out of an egg. The setting is modern but with an epic fantasy feel. I decided to go this route because all the other dragon stories I love, when done in a fantasy world, usually plays off in the medieval times. I wanted something more modern, so I wrote it. I’ve worked really hard on the story line and have been told many times that it’s a really great series and fans read them over and over.

Q. What order should the series been read in?
Firebolt Venom (novelette) Thunderlight Frostbite Poison (Novella) Moonbreeze Starlight Venom and Poison are actually chunks of deleted scenes from Thunderlight and Moonbreeze that slow down the novels. I ended up turning them into a novella and a novelette.

Q. Why should readers buy the series?
A. I spent years crafting it, and turning it into the best it could be. The heroine isn’t very strong in the first novel, she is a normal teenager with fears and doubts, just like every other human her age. It’s filled with adventure, an academy that hovers in the sky, 11 dragon breeds, a kick ass prince who obviously steals Elena’s heart and a bad boy Alpha dragon. And all of that is mixed with magic, spells, gaining abilities around the age of seventeen and taming dragons. Who can ask for more?

Q. I don’t have time to read because of little time in my busy day to day schedule, is there a way to listen to this series on audio.
A. Glad you asked. Yes, Tantor Media has developed the Dragonian Series into audios. The wonderful, and I mean she is really wonderful as a narrator, Erin Moon, is the voice of Elena. She is bringing the series to a new high with the audios, giving voice not just to Elena but also to all the other characters in the series. Her accents are to die for. She is really brilliant and will entertain you for hours. I’m very, very, proud of my audios. So if you don’t have time to read, be sure to listen instead.

Q. Do you have any other series planned that follows the characters of this world?
A. Yes, they are called the Beam Series. Moonbeam is actually taking place 10 years (more or less) after Starlight ended. Darkbeam Part I-III is Blake Leaf’s story Starbeam (Feature Release) Firebeam (feature Release) And Once Upon a Dragon Series which is like a retelling of the Dragonian Series.

This book is the BEST dragon book I've ever read! (After Eragon) THE BEST! I COULDN'T STAND THE AWESOMENESS! Goodreads Reviewer

Dragons? Yes, please! But "Firebolt", the first book in a riveting new YA fantasy series, gives us so much more than 'just' dragons. - I HEART READING BOOK BLOG
LOVE IT! this book was awesome! I so love dragon stories. and this one was no exception.
- Amanda Masters 5 star - This was an amazing book with intriguing characters and a great plot. I liked the story although the only criticism I have is that at times the plot was a little slow moving as the author gave detailed descriptions of scenes. While this works for some people, for me I just felt like a few of these scenes could be cut back a bit to get more action in. This, however, was only a minor issue and didn't impede on my enjoyment of this great book. This is a must-read for fantasy and dragon-lovers!Netgalley Reviewer

Firebolt (The Dragonian #1) by Adrienne Woods is an awesome fantasy book I was able to get for a honest review from NetGalley and boy am I glad I did! What a great read! Dragons, magic, romance, magic, action, good vs evil, a clean book and a great book. Exciting and true dialogue full of emotion and excitement on every page. The plot is fast with lots of twists and turns. I was so impressed with this young adult novel, although I am NO young adult and I loved it, I had to go and buy the next book and the novelette that goes between the two! I rarely do that! I am one of those people that get the good free books or cheap books or find good books to review. I could not wait, I had to have the next books in this series!This book is that good and fresh. I read over 300 books a year and this is a new and exciting fantasy. Thank you Ms Woods, can't wait to read the next book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good read, interesting characters and plot. Needs Editing
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2020

The Good: I downloaded the first book in her series, Firebolt, for free. It was interesting enough that I purchased the remaining four books and the novella. I enjoyed the series and think it was an excellent read. I disagree with some of the reviews here. I felt the characters were well developed. The plot was interesting and held my attention throughout the series. The author made her universe, dragons turning into human form, instantaneous portal travel, and other impossibilities in real life, seem believable to me. that is not always the case with many fantasy novels. For me, the series was a page turner and I read the five books in about six days.

The Bad: Book 1.5, a short novella, Venom, is not worth your time to read and the $0.99 cost. For the series in general, if I did not see so many other books by this author on Amazon, I would think these five novels were her first attempt at writing. The series says it was from a publishing company, Fire Quill Publishing. This must be the author’s own company, as it cannot be a real publishing company based on the general poor quality of the work. This series could not possibly have been professionally edited and proofread. I assume the author edited and proofed the manuscripts herself. The errors are so obvious and glaring, no professional proofreader could have missed them. I found many hundreds of typos, wrong words, and other problems in the series. That was very disappointing. The author was also very stingy with dialog tags, and I had to reread parts to determine who was speaking. OK, I realize the author is from SA, and maybe they write in a different style, but she had so many instances of problems with words ending in ‘ed’. Book 5 was by far the most in need of some serious editing and proofing. It looked to me like it was written in a week with no editing at all. I just discovered that the book 1 in this series has an update available, but not for the other four novels in the series.
As other reviewers have mentioned, this is not a series for 7-11 grades. The brutal episode that happened to Elena in Book 4 is not for that audience. However, the other few sex scenes in the books are not graphic, but implied.

5.0 out of 5 stars Firebolt
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2017

A young persons fantasy of sword and sorcery. It is meant for young people but older people may think some spots to be childish. It is not a children's book because of the mild sexual connotations in parts. Romance plays a sub plot in the story between the students. The plot is good but not totally original. I enjoyed the dragon descriptions. The main character is supposed to be a normal high school girl but is not. She is uprooted every three months by her dad. This is not normal. There are innuendos that she there is something special about her as well. We do not find this out in this book. The characters are well developed and I was able to identify with them. This is not a complex book to read and can be a quick read. The final editing was average. I find mistakes in traditional writers such as Patterson, Reichstag, Creighton, etc. I didn't see any stop reading because I don't understand what is written type of mistakes.

I got the audio version as well. I followed along in the book as it was being read. The reader did a good job of reading but I believe she was not given the final version of the book. There were places in her reading that expanded on the written portion. This made it interesting. However, there were places that differed from the written form through transitions of words. I did like the quality of the readers voice throughout the book. You may get more out of this book by following along reading while listening to the narration like I did.

I recommend this book for anyone interested in young adult fantasy. If you want bloody action or strong sexual situations this is not the book for you. I enjoyed this book especially for the dragons.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great young-adult fantasy adventure!
Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2016

Firebolt is a fantasy adventure geared toward young adults and is the first book of the Dragonian series. The main character, Elena, finds out the hard way that dragon-shifters are all too real when a rogue group attacks her and her father. When she awakens she finds out her father is dead and she has been brought to a land where dragons and magic are the norm. It turns out that she is a dragonian, a human born to essentially control and ride a dragon, and is soon enrolled in the school there for both her kind and young dragon-shifters. But danger lurks in the halls of the school, waiting for the opportunity to strike. Will Elena and her new companions escape unscathed...?

I would first like to state that I received this through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This was actually a fun read with lots of action, adventure, and just a little romance thrown in for good measure. It was kind of like Harry Potter meets Eragon. The characters were well-developed, the pace steady, and the foreshadowing quite excellent. It was so good in fact, that I zipped through the whole thing in just a couple of hours and am looking forward to the next in the series. I would highly recommend this story to fans of the genre.

I'll be honest... I wasn't expecting to like, let alone LOVE this book. I tend to like my books with shall we say, a bit more spice but this book is amazing! Hooked me from the get go and I honestly could not put it down until it was done. Love the way the characters are developing and can't wait to get started on Thunderlight. Good thing it's almost the weekend!
