About this listen

An otherworlder transported into a dragon's body must grow her skills, build her hoard, and forge friendships in the first book of a charming isekai series.

A single slip is all it takes. But the consequences of falling from a rock wall are usually broken bones and bruises . . . not waking up in the body of a dragon. So when a young bouldering instructor finds herself suddenly transported to a strange new world—and into a powerful black-scaled frame— she must rethink all the rules as well as her own expectations in order to survive.

Adopting the name Draka, the newly minted dragoness begins to explore the forests, mountains, and villages surrounding the city of Karakan. To survive and thrive, she must learn to spread her wings, discover the joys of growing her hoard, and figure out how to handle the seductively draconic voice encouraging her to find violent means to any ends.

But most importantly, Draka will need to overcome her intimidating shape to form alliances with the human adventurers she meets. Because sometimes even dragons need a little help from their friends.

The first volume of the hit fantasy adventure series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

I mean, I'm a little jealous... I, too, would love to wake up as something or someone else after an accident, but untill we have full body super VR, I'll have to settle for living vicariously through Draka.

Lucky for me, this is both fun and pleasant!

The Isekai genre can get bit stale, and to me Draka brings some new and fresh things to the table. I like how the author has managed to balance the whole "I'm a dragon now, oh no!" and "I'm a dragon now, oh yeah!"

It doesn't get tiresome and super sad, but it also isn't ignored. Instead it becomes an interesting reoccurring point throughout the story.

I also really lika how well the characters fit into the world. Sometimes, in other books, even though the protagonist is wisked away to another world or universe, the people and their culture is basically the same as ours.

Lastly, the underlying storyline is exciting and interesting!

All in all, it's an easy recommendation for me!

How to be a Dragon!
