Über diesen Titel
The blood of dragons pumps through his veins. Greatness awaits!
Kobolds cower at the bottom of the food chain, forced to eke out a meager existence in the most wretched of caves.
Most have made peace with their lot in life; one of eating scraps and carrion. They hide and run from predators, delaying the inevitable day when they aren't fast or sneaky enough to make their escape.
But not Samazzar. Sam is different from other Kobold pups.
Traps and caves might keep him and his people alive, but sometimes, just living isn't enough. Dragon blood runs through him, and Sam isn't willing to settle for mere survival. Whether by claw, magic, or cunning, one day he will soar above the plains, predator rather than prey.
And nothing–be it the mockery of his tribe, the hazards of the deep caves, or even the almost insurmountable difficulty of successfully evolving his bloodline–nothing is going to stop him.
Join Samazzar and his boundless optimism on his quest in A Dream of Wings and Flame, a new LitRPG series from best seller Cale Plamann. Sam must throw off the shackles placed on his tiny scaled body by fate so he can claim his birthright once and for all.
©2022 Aethon Books (P)2022 Aethon AudioNow, without further segue, onto the good points. Firstly, I liked the subtle and nuanced romantic subplot. Romance is clearly not the focus of this work, and any romance that is discussed only adds to its plot.
Secondly, the side characters. The plot heavily focuses on Sam's development, and there is no filler content watering down the plot line. The pacing is quite fast, a bit too fast for my tastes, but it feels natural nonetheless. Except for a few inconsistencies, it makes sense as well. Metaphors have been adapted to the protagonists's species, and the magic system is intriguing. That's why I decided to rate it five stars.
Now onto complaining. My goodness, you can just feel the aggravation rolling off the protagonist at times. I get the sense that the author is quite fed up with society. All of the characters seem a little simple, a little too clear-cut and predictable. Is it because they are cobolds that their personalities appear so much flatter than humans? I hope we will get to see more nuanced portrayals when we move into human territory.
Additionally, my human sensibilities somewhat prevented me from fully enjoying the work. The world of the book I'd a cruel one, and Sam lacks remorse, especially toward other species.
Then there are a few inconsistencies. For example, I can only assume that at the end of that last battle the witch was lipreading?
All in all, the interesting yet outweighs the disappointing. Hence, 5/5.
Not in line with my values, but a great work.

The story is amazing I loved it. Following a little Kobold on its way to become a dragon is simply awesome.
The Audio however is awful its not simply the audio quality I have listened to worse Audiobooks on Audible no its probably a mix of not that great a Microphone for the Narrator, the intonation of the Narrator himself and no post processing whatsoever. These factors mix together to destroy your ears. I really struggled to listen to the amazing story because of the audio peaks a little post processing would probably solved the issue or if not made it bearable. As it was I needed to install an Equalizer with compression functionality to somewhat normalize the audio. It didn't solve the problem entirely but it helped a little.
I really hope the next Book in the series isn't as bad because I don't know if I can go through this again.
Amazing story, abysmal audio
