Summary
Is it snark if you're a dragon?
Nico, a young dragon of barely fifty, is rudely chased from his home by a group of murderous adventurers. Of his entire clutch, only he and one sister remained, but now he is alone. Isolated and hungry, Nico’s magic awakens, bonding him with Cami, a brave young woman.
To hide from the adventurers’ pursuit, Nico takes on human form. However, once they discover that both he and Cami have magical abilities, they are required by law to attend the Imperial Academy.
Of course, he has to hide his true nature, which isn't always easy given a dragon-sized ego.

Superb
Just wow. Can't wait for book 2. Kinda perfect "grounded" power fantasy, although I feel that the MC is not really the main character, this role seems more fit for his SO xD

A refreshing new look at the LitRPG genre
This book is a little different than your usual LitRPG. Our protagonist isn’t a human thrust into another world, or even the usual Zero to Hero character down trodden but rising up.
He is a dragon, king of the skies, and he knows it!
Reading about his thoughts on these squishy humans and their flat faces is so much fun.
I highly recommend.

A+ Fantasy LitRPG!
As I started listening to this book, I thought I was having a stroke or a serious dèja vu episode.
It took me a bit to realize that I had listened to the first part of this story in short story form in a book with a bunch of other LitRPG short stories.
I'm glad I'm not as cracked as I thought.
It's hard to explain how much I loved this book and hope for a second. This story needs to be a series!
Our MC, Nico, is a dragon who is living as a human to get back at those adventurers that raided his nest and killed or stole his sister.
Oswald writes Nico with such artistry. It must have been a lot of fun to flush out and write this non-human character. He is acting like what I'd assume a dragon in his situation would act like and also quite ignorant of human culture and behavior and social skills.
The writing and narration are top-notch!
I am extremely grateful that I was able to get this book for free with the expectation of an honest review.
I truly love this story and can't wait to find out what happens next to Nico and his bond-mate and those who are with them.
I'd give this book 8 out of 5 stars if I could.

Solid Premise Bad Pacing Continuity Issues
Watching this MC get continually taken by surprise at things that were implicitly and sometimes explicitly revealed to him in earlier chapters is really infuriating. It has a solid premise and NH gives his normal four star performance, but this story just lurches along with an MC who is supposed to be an unreliable narrator, but has a level of cluelessness that really doesn't make sense in the context of the story. Lastly, if you introduce the idea that all young magic users must go to academy in the first couple of chapters of the book, waiting until the last couple of chapters for them to actually get there is really unsatisfying. This is especially true when the middle chapters are peppered with pointless "will he/won't he" go to the academy scenes despite that he has already committed to do so.

Not since Eragon. Claws Out # 1
Wow, I loved this book. Told from Nico the dragon's point-of-view. With an ego as big as all outdoors and a thirst for revenge and knowledge he attacks life with his claws extended. And the first thing that happens is finding Cami... Not understanding what he did he accepted this young human to protect her. While doing that he accidentally makes her his bonded dragon rider. The only reason this isn't one of my favorite book for the year is because I hate cliffhangers.
Not since Eragon have I found another dragon book that I liked as well. Well Claws Out is it!
Neil Hellegers is now my favorite dragon performer.
So yeah grab the book and get started on the best Dragon series evarrr!

Authentically Dragon
I love how Oswald creates empathy for the MC. When he says ”… is what it’s like to be a dragon,” I think, that’s how I feel too! Which pretty much makes me a dragon. Win win!
Great job Sean! The experience as a dragon shifter into a human, experiencing human cities for the first time is done so well! The details combined with Neil’s nostalgic voice have given this one a rich flavor. Cheers!

One of the good ones.
It's always refreshing to find a series that scratches the itch for a good story. This had great story, characters, and a wonderful performance. I'll be picking up the Kindle version of the series including the new installment due in July. For me, that's high praise as almost never extend beyond my Audible collection. Good job.

One of the most enjoyable books I've read
It's now one of my favorite books on Audible. I hope this becomes a long series that I can enjoy! Definitely worth the credits.
