About First Flight:
Join Dragon School. Learn to Fly.
Sixteen-year-old Amel arrived at Dragon School just like everyone else — with a dream to ride dragons and join the Dominion Dragon Riders.
But Amel has a crippled leg and Dragon School training is grueling. Before she can even become an initiate, she must complete her First Flight on a dragon.
Can Amel survive First Flight and become a Dragon School initiate or will her dreams dash on the rocks below?

Re-read Review:
Short and sweet.
At a little bit under three hours, this book is a relatively quick read.
The first round of reading of this book didn't go down so well. I first read this book some years back. With the second time around, there is an audiobook version and for some reason the book was a bit more exciting this time.
However, what really brought the rating of this book down (other than it's plotlessness) was the cliffhanger ending. This is just a part of the first chapter of a bigger book. And because this is just a little chunk of a bigger book, all we have is an introduction to the world of the Dragon School with not much of a plot at all. Amel goes to school, and that's it!
My suggestion is to get the boxset so that you can read the next book as soon as you hit the cliffhanger. Might be cheaper too, than buying the little books (136 pages long) individually.
This is my first Jigisha Patel audiobook and I would isten to her again.
