Dragon's Guardian by Ave Richardson is book 1 of Reign of Chaos series in the Alveria Dragon's Akademy. This book follows Mari, who cannot bond to a dragon, and Prince Kai, who is stuck in dragon form. While these two work on their bond, monsters start terrorizing the kingdom. 

 

I enjoyed the book but it is not distinct. I have read a variety of Ava Richardson books and this is not a stand out. If you have read Richardson before you know what you are getting. I think where the monsters came from was interesting and I enjoy diving into Richardson's world. 

 

Three stars for an enjoyable read. Thank you to NetGalley, Ava Richardson, and Relay Publishing. This was an honest review.
