Villain Keeper by Laurie McKay is the first book of The Last Dragon Charmer series. Prince Caden wants to be an Elite Paladin, but his father, King Axel, sends Caden away and Caden isn't sure why his father would do that without having the Elite Paladin ceremony. He ends up in Asheville, North Carolina with Brynne, a sorceress, and his horse Sir Horace.

This was a fun story. Fast paced and imaginative. I can't wait to read the next installment!

I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway and all opinions are my own.

Villain Keeper

A Sea of Stars

This reminded me strongly of Dark Lord: The Early Years, except for that I never questioned Caden's sanity, like I did with Dirk, and also I enjoyed this one quite a bit more.

I legitimately liked Caden and Tito, as well as Rosa, my personal favorite, but found that Brynne was a bit annoying, also repeatedly mentioned as being gorgeous and also 12. It was weird.

I was a bit lost as to why the evil villains of Razzon are sent to North Carolina, let alone why they all work at this middle school, and also everything having to do with the dragons, especially headmaster lady, who can't be a Blue and Silver dragon....but is.

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE

YES SASSY ASSISTANT

BUT HAPPENED.

I'm hoping we'll get quite a lot of answers in the sequel(s). And more Rosa.
