Aram Raythe has the power to challenge the gods. He just doesn't know it yet. Aram thinks he's nothing but a misfit from a small fishing village in a dark corner of the world. As far as Aram knows, he has nothing, with hardly a possession to his name other than a desire to make friends and be accepted by those around him, which is something he's never known. But Aram is more. Much, much more. Unknown to him, Aram bears within him a gift so old and rare that many people would kill him for it, and there are others who would twist him to use for their own sinister purposes. These magics are so potent that Aram earns a place at an academy for warrior mages training to earn for themselves the greatest place of honor among the armies of men: dragon riders. Aram will have to fight for respect by becoming not just a dragon rider, but a Champion, the caliber of mage that hasn't existed in the world for hundreds of years. And the land needs a Champion. Because when a dark god out of ancient myth arises to threaten the world of magic, it is Aram the world will turn to in its hour of need.

I absolutely adored this book from start to finish. I will say, at first I was quite confused by the way in which the author went out of her way to describe, in detail, the various knots tied by this random 12 year old boy in a random fishing town, but it all made sense in the end.

I liked basically everything about this book, but, if I had to choose just one thing I would have to say the world that Spencer created, and the magic system/s within that world. I loved the characters, don't get me wrong, but I found the history of the world itself and the way the magic worked in both the World Above and the World Below so interesting. Plus, dragons - need I say more?

Despite being quite a large book, this didn't feel like a slog to read at all and I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that this is a 5 star read for me - the first of 2022!
