4.6 out of 5 stars 331 ratings

Riders of Fire is an award-winning fast-paced fantasy series by multi-award-winning author Eileen Mueller.


A captive dragon master. A dangerous rift between mages and riders. And a secret weapon that will tear Dragons’ Realm apart.


When Ezaara’s powerful dragon master, Roberto, is captured by Commander Zens, her world is thrown into turmoil. Why is the council refusing to rescue Roberto, her clandestine lover?


And why do the caverns of Dragons’ Hold echo with whispers of a prophecy unfulfilled?

A prophecy that says she has no right to be Queen’s Rider.


As tension mounts, with an attempt on her life, Ezaara must take action to prevent Commander Zens from destroying her lover and Dragons’ Realm.


Kierion, a dragon rider and prankster, wants to bridge a bitter feud between dragon riders and mages, but his reputation prevents anyone from taking him seriously.


If mages and riders stand united, Dragons’ Realm might stand a chance against Commander Zens’ new secret weapon.


But when Kierion takes matters into his own hands, he risks more than he realizes.


How will Roberto survive Zens’ torture?

How can Kierion heal the rift?

And how can Ezaara save the people she loves?


If you love epic coming-of-age fantasy, heart-pounding adventure and dragons, Dragon Rift and the Riders of Fire series are for you.


Fans of Sarah K Wilson, Anne McCaffrey, Paolini and Ava Richardson will enjoy Riders of Fire.

    A new character. New adventures. Deeper connections. Stronger arcs. Lots and lots of prior plot threads coming to fruition.

    As with the previous books, Caitlin Davies gives us an excellent performance. She has a great assortment of voices with excellent vocal inflections and solid tempo shifts throughout. As before, my one complaint is that I don't care for her choices for the Dragon voices.

    Oddly, I think in many cases the Tharuks sound more like dragons than the dragons do.

    As with the last book, we're bouncing between a fairly large number of POV characters, which gives a lot of depth to their personalities.

    In this one we dive even deeper into some of the existing relationships, the history, and some of the reasons for things being the way they are.

    We're introduced to our first wizard, which also takes us on a deeper dive into the reasons for the rift between the Dragon riders and the wizards. And why it's been perpetuated for so long.

    A lot of past beliefs are challenged, layers of meaning are stripped bare, and in the end we're left with an evolved sense of the world and the momentous events that have been set into motion.

    My only complaints are minor and totally understandable.
    I don't know if it's expected that nearly every major character will end up pairing off into romantic couples in YA, but it's definitely something that I see a lot. And it irks me a bit. I'm not opposed to the romance subplot, I just don't think everyone needs one.

    And, there's a period of about six weeks that is totally glossed over in which big things are happening. I totally get the author's decision on this (it would have likely added a LOT of length to the book without adding a ton of depth), but I really would have liked more detail on those events.

    And my only other complaint is that the next book isn't available in audio yet!

    I think one of my favorite parts was finally getting some inside information about the main villain. It was fascinating getting a peak at what makes him tick!

    Which brings us to the ending.

    I can definitely see how the author is improving with each book, especially in regards to the climaxes. Although there were one or two things that I caught on to pretty early on that I think were meant to be surprise reveals, the ending still came together brilliantly. There is a series of successive climaxes that build with each one until we reach the final culmination of the novel...

    Which, of course, sets up the next book while also bringing the events of this one to a very satisfying close.
    And the suspense is killing me!
    I can't wait to listen to the next one!

    4.0 out of 5 stars A spreading smile.
    Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2019

    It is actually quite funny and endearing at the same to see the amazement spreading across the face of somebody that experience something new and joyful for the first time. Like the first time that Ezaara melded and imprinted with the dragon queen.
    However, that was not really what Fenni, the mage apprentice, discovered when taken to task by Giddi for hiding the fact the past nine months that he could not create magic fire balls. In truth, he felt totally embarrassed, more so when realising that his inability could have had tragic consequences. But between Giddi and young Master Jael, he will have a chance to rectify this state of affairs.
    Yes, and when he finally succeeded, that spreading smile and joy was all well worth it.
    Which is just as well as in the rest of Dragonhold territory things took a decided down turn with Zens spreading his malignant influence to great effect, threatening a rift on so many fronts amongst the inhabitants of Dragonhold and even Spanglewood.
    This Rider of Fire series is the epitome of what a good epic fantasy is all about. A struggle between good and evil, a tussle between firm, good values and the lure and seduction of the immoral.
    The best part is each book is indeed capable of being read as a stand alone novel despite the over arching theme, though I bet you would not want to start elsewhere but the beginning. Whichever. The spreading smile on the face of the reader is in itself apt and ample compensation as well. Enjoy!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Dragon Riders, Meet the Mages!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2020

    I don't know how she does it, but Eileen Mueller's series Riders of Fire keeps getting better and better! Building on the world set up in Ezaara and Dragon Hero, Dragon Rift continues where the previous books left off. Tomaaz and Roberto have been away in Death Valley, when Tomaaz arrives back at Dragon Hold, barely alive and with news that Roberto is a prisoner of Zens. Due to Spymaster Tonio's hatred of Roberto's father, Roberto spends nearly the entire book as a captive, while Ezaara, Adelina, and others propose various rescue attempts.

    The mages also take center stage in Dragon Rift, as we learn about their decades-long quarrel with the dragon riders. Kierion, a mischievous, young, dragon rider hopeful reconnects with his old friend, Fenni, who is facing his mage trials. Together, they remind both the mages and dragon riders that they can be stronger together. The theme of uniting and putting aside misunderstandings and past hurts for the good of the realm runs through the entire book. Mages and riders. Archers and soldiers. Even counsel member and counsel member. Prejudices run deep, but only by overcoming them can Dragons' Hold take a stand against Zens.

    We also get our first glimpse at how Zens became the villain who strikes fear across Dragons' Realm. His childhood was difficult and his thirst for power and revenge is much larger than it seemed in the first two books. Yet, in the midst of an uncertain future, there is celebration and life. We get to watch the mage trials, the dragon races, and a hand-fasting ceremony.

    And in the end, our beloved riders are moving forward, not giving up, not giving in to despair, but more determined than ever to defeat Zens and to live!

    Okay, The story pics up speed and Magic and Action, thats stuff that makes it move into the Right directions!
    we have finally more Explanations about the world and how it all works, and we have more plot and stuff that happens where you can really just be reading and praying for everyone

    The level of ignorance also diminished and is mostly okay now, here and there are still some places where i thought "are you kidding me..." but thats not as bad as it was.

    So yeah, this is a level of Story i do indeed want to keep reading! (and i just saw theres book 4 and 5...soooo i have something to do in those hard lockdown times!)
