This exciting, new Young Adult novel brilliantly combines classic high fantasy with an intriguing backdrop. A coming-of-age tale that transports you on a fantastical journey, where dreams and reality merge together in the most remarkable way! As a fan of Harry Potter, Dragons and popular Inheritance Cycle I was very interested by this new work that captured my imagination instantly. Outcast: book 1 of the Blue Dragon's Geas is an inspired work of extraordinary premise that sets the standard high for book 2.

The hero of this tale Alador is a deeply complex, fascinating character whose search for a sense of acceptance in life is admirable. When he encounters blue Dragon Renamaum it is the start of a powerful bond and magnetic partnership... The future for both Dragons and mortals is an uncertain one, with their link being erased over time. Both the hero and his Dragon go on an epic, unforgettable quest to fight for both mortal and beast to coexist harmoniously within a magical world.

At times I felt as though I had plunged into an original `take' on Christopher Paolini's Eragon, although somewhat different on world-building and the history behind the Dragon - human relationship. Cheryl's inspired concepts and vivid settings encapsulate a sublime fantasy setting, in which many spellbinding discoveries are just waiting to be had. I was most impressed by this enjoyable first novel of such scope, which is set to be the beginning of something vast and of great magnitude. This book is ideal for the young reader who delights in action-packed, magical stories containing colourful fire-breathing Dragons.
