Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Emily Connelly discuss one of Emily’s favorite fantasy audiobooks of 2023. Charley Flyte narrates with a self-assured tone as Anequs, a teen from Masquapaug island who bonds with a dragon egg discovered near her island. She renews her people’s lost relationship with Nampeshiwe, or indigenous dragons, when she bonds with the hatchling, becoming a Nampeshiweisit (dragoneer). Listeners can hear Anequs’s commitment to her cultural knowledge and traditions as she begins her studies at the mainland dragon school, where she’s met with ignorance and racism. Author Moniquill Blackgoose has created a rich alternative fantasy world to explore, with Flyte making for a capable and dynamic narrator.
