Summary
'Exactly what you love in a fantasy' ROBIN HOBB
'A fire-new take on dragons' SAMANTHA SHANNON
'Brilliant' HANNAH KANER
The first in an epic fantasy series, with a smouldering forbidden romance, a dangerous heist, a world full of magic, and DRAGONS.
The last male dragon. A desperate thief. A bond that will save the world . . . or shatter it.
Long ago, humans betrayed dragons, stealing their magic and banishing them to a dying world. Now their descendants worship dragons as gods. But the 'gods' remember, and they do not forgive.
So when thief Arcady casts a spell to steal a powerful artefact and accidentally traps Everen - the last male dragon - in the human world, the consequences are deadly.
Everen soon realises the key to his destiny, and to regaining his true power, lies in Arcady. All he needs to do is convince them to bond with him completely - and then kill them . . .

Critic Reviews
A fresh and intricate world, a smouldering romance, and a fire-new take on dragons
A queer-norm world with new ways of telling tales, L. R. Lam is breaking boundaries and binaries yet again with a brilliant fantasy book that you won't want to miss
Exactly what you love in fantasy: Dragonfall is an intriguing blend of magic, a thief, trickery, and an unexpected dragon
Dragons have never been so sexy. Lam's triumphant return to fantasy strikes the perfect balance between romance, action, high stakes heists, and betrayal, in a richly imagined world that's brimming with magic and heart. You can't help but fall for this book
With a queernorm cast that challenges the roles of gender and sexuality, Dragonfall is a page-turner that keeps you on the edge of your seat with phenomenal worldbuilding and jaw-dropping twists. Leaves you as breathless as flying on dragonback
Lam's Dragonfall is a powerful all-new imagining of dragons and humans and the wild magic burning between them, set in a divided world as brilliantly original as it is convincing. With striking, beautiful prose and characters that will own your heart, this book - and those to follow in the trilogy - are must-reads
Tight, tense, smouldering, and wonderfully queer
Sumptuous epic fantasy
Dragonfall is fresh and exciting fantasy, full of treachery, romance and kaleidoscopic world-building. You will gladly lose yourself in L. R. Lam's creation
Dragonfall is a soaring good time from start to finish, and has plenty for fantasy fans to love: an intriguing world, forbidden romance, unique magic, and of course, as many dragons as your heart could possibly desire
Dragonfall is a brilliant, beautifully paced page turner of a novel, up there with the best fantasy and one of my favourite reads of the year so far
Set in a unique and wondrous world, Dragonfall is a soaring and fiery love story that will burn or melt your heart. Lam's prose is delicate and gorgeous yet sharp, and will leave readers pining for the next book
A thoroughly enjoyable story which deserves to be very successful
A romance featuring a sexy dragon, stabbing and kissing, what's not to love?
With progressive representation and constant shifts of narrative perspectives, Dragonfall is a unique intervention in the fantasy canon
Its unique representation of a non-binary co-protagonist...ensures Dragonfall is a stand-out within the fantasy genre, pushing the boundaries of what the canon can look like
Beautifully written, immersive, and fantastical, Dragonfall evokes shivers with its commanding prose. At the heart is the relationship between Everen and Arcady, two characters with opposing goals who should not, could not, ever love one another-and yet. Readers, ready yourselves for angst, for longing, for a world full of secrets and whispered promises. Readers, ready yourselves to fall
A little slow going at times but intriguing.
initially I did not love the voices of the narrators, but they grew on me,
Am very curious how it will end.
would recommend a listen!
unusual story well told

This story is a good introduction to the world and characters but as the first in the series it leaves a lot to be explored and doesn't resolve too much. It also would have been nice to explore the differences between the two cultures/personalities/behaviour of human and dragons, as Effren feels a regular boy after about a week.
Appreciate the ambiguity of Arcadies gender although Rebeca obviously brings a hefty dosage of femininity to the character.
Overall good listen and adorable dragon bf.
