The Uncommon Rider (The Exceptional S. Beaufont #1) by Sarah Noffke - Starting July 18th 2020

[Sarah Elizabeth]

The first dragon rider in over a hundred years has been born.

And it’s a girl.

Never before has a female been chosen to ride a dragon.

The Elite, a guild comprised exclusively of dragon riders, is dead according to most. No one has seen a rider in decades. The problems they used to fight overwhelm the world. Dragons are thought to be near extinction.

However, the Elite aren’t dead…

It’s just that a bunch of crusty, old men who do nothing that benefits the world at large are easy to mistake as useless corpses.

Sophia Beaufont is about to change all of that.

When the dragon egg that magnetized to her hatches, it sets Sophia on a new course. The Elite are immediately notified. She’s expected to train. To defend. To fight.

Sophia is ready to conquer evil, as the dragon riders should have been doing for centuries.

However, the Elite have been turning a blind eye, allowing the world to be overrun by criminals.

That’s all about to change.

S. Beaufont isn’t a girl who will be told to sit down and relax when a war is brewing that only a dragon rider can extinguish.

(view spoiler)[ Decided to pick this up early (5 days in fact) because I've been wanting to read on my new Kindle. This looks like a spin-off series from another series. It's lighthearted in the beginning, and got that 'i'm the chosen' vibe all over it. Hiker is totally lazy, and doesn't want to accept the world needs the Dragon Elite again, and soon. I like the twist that she is going to battle against robots though. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Everything seems to fall into place perfectly for Sophia. In a way, it is refreshing since I haven't read anything like this, but I want SOME type of grievance. I understand Hiker is giving her a bad time, and it took a long time for her to ride Lunis, but still ;o; I don't know if it's just me. I do like that she is searching for Mother Nature, and the pop culture references are funny. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I loved when Rudolf and Sophia were chasing the Fierce, and can only imagine what the library is like. Sophia and Lunis are on the second trial where Mother Nature resides, and I think this will probably be my favorite part of the book. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Yeah, I was right. Mother Nature's trials was my favorite part in the book. The second one was a bit confusing, but the third one was classic. There wasn't anything too big happening in this book as it's building up the plot, but it was a fun read. I wouldn't mind reading the rest of the series with ya'll. :) (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I'm so glad that this is written the same as the first series. It's nice to see Sophia out on her own. I love the dragon riders, even if they are really old fashioned. I can see Sophia forcing some changes on them. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I'm loving this. I can't wait to find out who's behind the factory and why they are there. I'm hoping Hiker changes soon. his annoying me. it seems like his scared of change and there must be a reason why he doesn't want them in the world yet. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I'm loving that the old characters are in this one too. I fell in love with them and it was hard to say goodbye but now I get them for a little longer. Hiker is really annoying me now. Either he changes or dies simple. his stopping them at every turn. I wonder who is stopping them from finding mother nature? (hide spoiler)]

Finished

(view spoiler)[ Oh man I loved the trails to get to mother nature and she seems like a great character for the book. I'm so glad that hiker found his mojo lets hope he keeps it in the next book. I loved every part of this. (hide spoiler)]

I'm so in for book 2.

Behind in reading general but getting to this!

Started this and not loving it. I love dragons but so far this is written very juvenile.
