Ummmmm......some spoilers in here.

Not happy that the only black character is portrayed as an immature, bullying jerk. There are constant jokes about him being the least of them. The other ethnic male characters are pprtrayed as level headed and full of wisdom. I'm on book 5 and haven't seen much growth in the black dude. This is disconcerting if this is the perception the writers have of other ethnic groups.

I'm a little disappointed?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 22, 2020

I read all the Liv Beaufont books in record breaking reading marathon (10 days). This was over 2 weeks ago. And, today is my 16th day of reading "The Uncommon Rider". And I barely read 50 pages. I know the first book in a series is full of foundation (information).

I finally figured out why I can't get into this book. I expected the story to start at the "CRACK". From the last sentence from Liv's series. Instead I get boring non Sophie pages.

I really enjoy having Liv in the pages I managed to read.

At the current rate I'm reading this book, it will be Easter 2021. I'm barely able to 5 to 10 pages a day, the storyline is so bad/boring. I'm not able to get into the book, it doesn't take hold of my curiosity/imagination and force me to look forward to the next page(s).

Decent, but flawed origin story

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 10, 2020

Due to Michael Anderle's name being on this series I actually was extremely hesitant to pick up this series. He has a few quirks in his writing that I find less than pleasant and I worried that I'd encounter them even if he wasn't the primary.

To my surprise and joy this story did not have many of the flaws. Is a fairly well-written tale with the usual plucky teen girl who's entirely too competent, but who never quite feels like a complete Mary Sue. The supporting cast is not great, but they helped this story move along as we get the tale of a girl and her dragon and their introduction to a fantastical world.

Overall, this was a very good tale and I picked up book 2 as soon as I finished book 1. Its worth the read.

It was an enjoyable read. Fresh characters. I'm sorry I can't write 20 words. The concept was good and well written.

What can I say? Sarah is the author of the books I can't put down. She writes the worlds that are my dreams and the characters who make me give love away. She knows my heart yet doesn't know my name. I hope this makes sense to some of you like -minded out there. She is the perfect story teller and even more perfection comes through her books when she co-authors with one of my other most favorites, Michael Anderal.

Just the first book in The Exceptional S. Beaufort series and I'm ready to jump into the second. Sarah Nolfke and Michael Anderle have a wonderful world here with characters that I can't wait to get to know better.

When Sarah finished her Luv Beaufont series I was bummed out. It was like one of the best storylines ever was gone.
At this point I found out that her younger sister would be in a new series, and they be Dragons! Far out!
I pre ordered the book and it showed up a couple of days ago. I was reading an old favorite so I finished that book first.
This book flat out kicks ass!!! You can tell how much of yourself you put in this story. I have two friends who are always asking about "What you reading now? I wish I had time to read" my usual response is yeah, and I wish I could walk. This year some of my friends are getting Fire tablets pre-order with some of my personal favorites, this book will be on that list. Keep them coming. It's getting cold, and my chair will not go in the snow.
Hope you made it through the fires unscathed

Peace!

Encourages Strong Women in a Positive Way!

I absolutely enjoyed this book. I am a longtime fan of the Dragonriders of Pern series, but have always been a little uncomfortable with the way the dragon overpowers the rider, and of course I don’t like how women are second class citizens on Pern. This first Dragonrider Elite book emphasizes the equal partnership between the rider and the dragon, and helps Sophia recognize her Strengths and Responsibilities as a Woman in what was always considered a man’s world. Without women, this world is only half alive and only half productive, and her sister Liv is a great role model for her in how to interact with the older Dragon Elites. This book could have gone heavily to one side or the other, but actually remains perfectly balanced, recognizing that everyone needs to learn from each other to do the best for others and themselves. I’m glad I purchased this book and look forward to the next one!

finally a novel with a likable yet flawed female lead that doesn't devolve into romantic drivel ! So rare. So appreciated. Love the dragon too. And i really love the length of the book that tells a whole story. These 200 page or less novels should not count as books. Looking forward to 2nd book of Sophia's adventures free from romantic nonsense

Ms Noffke and Mr Anderle have written an excellent book. Well crafted plot with solid characters. Many twist and turns keep you guessing and the energy high! I truly look forward to reading more of their work!
