If you love a good fantasy, unique world building, gripping storyline, a fun cast of characters, and (need I say more) DRAGONS?! Well, what are you waiting for!?

Picked this book up from the used section of a local book store in Mammoth and I have no regrets. It’s very similar to the fourth wing and deserves all the same hype if you ask me!

This was the book featured in the September’s books of @the.butterfly.book club. It was my first box from the book club and the one that made me subscribe.

Titan’s Nest brings an easy story that keeps the reader entertained from page one. It’s worth to say that the readalong was meant to last a month, but most of us finished the book the first week. We could not put it down!

The world building is exquisite without being unnecessarily complicated. It was easy to picture in my mind what the characters were experiencing or seeing from the detailed descriptions the author added.

There are several characters that bring the book to life, but it’s easy to remember them and their own personal stories. In Titan’s Nest we can find characters that grow, that have fears, that face trouble. And also unique stories and personalities that will make you want the book to last forever!

I gave this book a 5 star rating because it has brought me everything I want in a book. It was entertaining, it made me laugh, it made me fall in love with some characters and it made me hate others.

Titans Nest by @titansnestseries

First off... I need book 2 now. That ending was cruel and mean and I just need to carry on reading.

This is such an incredible book for people who LOVE dragon stories (Fourth Wing lovers, hit this up) but also it was such an easy and enjoyable read that I devoured it super quick. There was never a time in the book where I felt confused as to who the people were, what the plot was or what was happening. It was perfectly written so that people who love fantasy and people who are new to fantasy could both read with ease.

I also love that we see alot of sister/twin stories, but I love that this one is about brothers. It's not something I've read alot of and I loved the difference having two male characters! 

The cast of characters were brilliant and lovable but also HUGE. There are so many brilliant and unique characters within the story.
Gerrard makes me think of a big burly man (a bit like hagrid) with pockets full of creatures from all over the continent.
He's one of my absolute favorites! Behind Tenebros of course. But I also loved seeing Rykers POV.

The world was lush and the descriptions were so good you could imagine yourself there with ease. Nerium was my favorite place so far. It's home to the royal guard, a guard made up of hummingbirds with riders hidden amongst a thick green forest thriving with life.

I loved the whole overall plot and think that Darren is a character really grew from where he started on his journey and I felt like through the book, I went along his journey with him.

I will 100% be autobuying ANYTHING Tanner writes from now on because he is truly talented and brilliant.

If you haven't picked this up yet,  don't put it on a TBR list... Bump it to the top and pick it up now

Not only do I have a paperback, but the author offered me an audible code to check out the audiobook! I just wish I had listened sooner. 

This is a dragon rider novel that features an underdog, found family, academy-like training, and uneven odds. The characters are fleshed out and the world feels real. I particularly liked that the novel does not tell you which side is the “correct” one to root for. 

The dragons imbue their riders with fury, giving them enhanced strength, speed, and dragon scale-like skin. I enjoyed the slight dragonrider twist in that each dragon gives their rider a unique gifted power. Whether it’s lightning, water, fire, or air, the elemental powers felt like The Last Airbender on dragons. The dragons can grow large to riding size at will by their riders imbuing them back with their own pool of fury. It is a 50/50 relationship. 

The world could use some additional building, especially because they take up a big portion being trained. But it is only because I am interested that it could use more. I didn’t really find it lacking, just interesting. 

I cannot fathom why more of my SFF friends have not picked this book up yet. I know what side I’m choosing. I wonder if you’ll agree. 

Personally a 5/5*. Cannot wait for a book 2.
