DRAGON ASSASSIN Dragon Assassin, Book 1

Clare Corbett delivers a dynamic narration of this first installment in the Dragon's Assassin series. Desperate to excel at assassin school despite her disability, Carmen takes an unusual chance and befriends a deadly ally. The story, told from Carmen's point of view, includes a lot of dialogue with pivotal characters who are on a quest to find a traitor and end the war on assassins. Corbett shows an impressive ability to capture each character's attitude and endow each with a unique timbre--including the dragon. She gives Carmen silvery tones to express her sarcasm. Her fluent use of accents distinguishes the cultural differences of cities, as well. Listeners will enjoy a heightened experience and be eager for the next installment.
