About this listen
It was a bright, warm spring day when Alador sat upon the hilltop looking down at the valley below him. He knew he did not fit into the world around him. His presence was tolerated and accepted but not welcomed. Little did he know how much his life would change that day. How could one large stone make such a difference in one's world? Renamaum, was a large blue dragon with one desire. He wanted the pact between man and dragon re-established. He wanted the hunting of the eggs and fledglings to stop. He had stood before the council and demanded they help him find a dragonsworn to protect the fledglings of both races rather then go to war. Little did he know how abruptly his plans would stop. He did not foresee the one small outcast that would pick up his banner, a geas so strong that neither could abandon it, even in death.

Story
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Ten years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. The awed public started calling them Epics. But Epics are no friend of man.

A shadowy group of ordinary humans, they spend their lives studying Epics, finding their weaknesses, and then assassinating them. And David wants in. He wants Steelheart - the Epic who is said to be invincible. The Epic who killed David's father.

A solid story with surprising depth
While the story starts slow, it picks up quickly and becomes a great read by the end. The characters are relateable and the world the author built winds up being very interesting. I recommend giving this book a read even if you aren't a teen or young adult.

enjoyable tale
The reader is enjoyable. The storyline is entertaining. I quite like the openness to women's right to choose, poly relationships, and family/community ties.
This was the second time listening to the book, and I will likely listen again in the future.

I couldn't figure out who the target audience is.
The narrator read the book as if he was addressing a very young audience, but some of the subject matter in the book is more, well adult in nature. It's not graphic, or anything, so maybe it's suitable for someone who is a very young teen. I'm in my 50's and still love books about dragons, but this one never really went anywhere and was really predictable. I was left feeling really disappointed.

Heartbreaking
This is a very hard story. Well written, good characters, interesting plot. I was just not prepared for how difficult things would be for the main character.
The narrator did a good job and has a good voice. I would like to say I enjoyed the book but I cried for the last hour of it. Not sure I want to read more, as I prefer happy endings over heartbreak. I couldn’t put it down, though.

Much more complex than you would think
By looking at the blurb of this book, and the length you think YA / Coming of Age Story filled with tried and true tropes.
You would be wrong. I was wrong.
This is a coming of age story. However it is so much more realistic, in that often as teenagers we do not realise how good we have things till they are taken away or our circumstances change.
Yes a boy does develop magical powers, and yes there are dragons, but not in the way you assume.
The narration was excellent, the narrator does not do multiple voices like some of the greats, but they are more than distinct enough to understand who is talking.
I highly recommend this book, it has some very adult themes in it but they are all looked at very tastefully. There is sex in this book, but again it is done tastefully. This is not a romance book pretending to be fantasy, this is not an erotic book pretending to be fantasy, this is not a 'typical' fantasy story at all.
Don't let the blurb fool you - and enjoy the book. I'm just starting the second one now after just finishing the first!

Outstanding book.
If you could sum up The Blue Dragon's Geas in three words, what would they be?
Riveting, Can't Stop listening
What did you like best about this story?
The twist and turns. About the time you think you know what is going to happen next. The author throws a twist or turn into the mix and does something totally different then what I am expecting. I love this time of book keep me engage. Nothing worth then thinking you know what is going to happen and you are right. With This book you won't have that problem.
What does Paul Woodson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He bring a great deal of care to the characters. His different voices and reflections you would almost think they are different readers and he does each character. He does so well that you will fill the different emotions as you are taken through a roller coaster of emotions. From happy to anger to bewilderment.
Any additional comments?
I am a long haul truck driver. If you are a truck driver or just some one who drives a long Distance or are just on the road several times a day. This is a good book to help pass the time away. You will get caught up in the story and if you haven't finished it by the time you Finnish your drive you won't want to stop it.
This would also be a good book to relax at home and just lay back and enjoy. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did and find this review help full.

poor quality recording
The recording quality sounds like it was recorded on a home stereo.
The narrator sounds like he's reading to children half the time.
The story was ok, it's what kept me listening but had an odd ending, even for a lead in to a next book.
