Ascendant (Songs of Chaos, #1)
by
Ah the classic boy and his dragon trope. Our main character Holt is a cook (kitchen boy destined for greatness represent!) who dreams of being a dragon rider. When he steals a "deformed" egg, he finds himself thrust into the world he so wished to be a part of, full of intrigue and magic.
I surprisingly didn't enjoy this as much as when I first read it, which was in 2021 when I first started delving into adult fantasy. And this, this was very YA. Like a lot. The plot twists weren't exactly plot twists. If you've read enough fantasy you could spot it a mile away. Still, the ending does hint at something greater and now I can't wait to get to the sequel.
