When the dragon Jaax receives word that a human infant has been found in the province of Oescienne, he doesn't dare believe it. Humans have been extinct for centuries, trapped by a terrible curse and left to live out their existence in the form of dragons. Despite his doubts, however, Jaax assumes responsibility for the baby girl, only to discover that what he has been seeking for so many years has finally been found...
Jahrra knows all about the legends and sagas of Oescienne, but never in her wildest dreams would she believe that she played a part in one of them. She's far too busy dodging the bullies at school and seeking out new adventures with her friends to worry about what secrets her dragon mentor might be keeping from her, or that her every move is being watched by something living in the forest surrounding her home.
But the secrets run deep, and as Jahrra fights to earn her place in this extraordinary world, she will begin to unravel the truth of it all that she isn't as safe as she thought she was, that danger lurks around every corner, and that her role in this unfurling tale is far more significant than she could possibly imagine.

The book was OK.Jahrra, a young human girl, is going to become the heroine who overthrows an evil ruler (who doesn't actually appear in this book). She is trained by a dragon and an elven couple, who are sort of supervised by another dragon. Her humanness is a secret, so far, even to her.
Some quibbles. First, the author has a knack for using unpronounceable names. (See the subtitle and the heroine's name.) There is a pronunciation guide, but I didn't find it until the end.
Second, the book should have had one or more maps.
Third, Jahrra seems to travel a few hours each way, to be tutored by the elves, and perhaps even to get to her regular school. This seems unrealistic. So does dragons writing letters. How could a dragon hold a pen, or a quill?
Fourth, the author doesn't use enough commas. For example, "Oh no Nida, I was just startled awake is all!" When sentences are of the form "Jahrra, you stink," they are generally actually written as "Jahrra you stink," which is, if you will excuse the expression, jarring. (I made up the sentence.)
I'm not going to read the next three volumes, although I'm not sorry to have read this one.

The Finding The Legend of Oescienne Book 1 (Audible Audio Edition) Jenna Elizabeth Johnson Michael Ferraiuolo Books Reviews
I wanted to like this book. I tried. The writing style is nice, but after forcing myself to read about a third of the way through it I put it down. It's a fantasy story where an evil power has turned all humans into dragons many years before. According to a prophecy the only way to reverse this and defeat the evil is a pureblooded human girl who will be born. Elves find a newborn human girl and she is put the the protection of elves and dragons.
A fun premise, but I just couldn't get drawn into the book.
The beginning of a whole new world. It took me a long time to convince myself to read this series. I wish I hadn't hesitated. The beginning of a series that is really interesting. The author gives you an intriguing glimpse into the characters; enough to make you wonder what the heck is going on. The main character, in the beginning is....an infant. While a bit of a whiner while she's growing up, she's also headstrong and brave. The book is interesting enough to go on with the story. I enjoyed the world building, the characters and the story line. Love to hate the *evil* characters too. Glad I gave into the temptation to read this. I'll be reading the next in the series immediately. GOOD STORY
Enticing story line that grabs you from the beginning. The Finding The Legend of Oescienne (Book One).
This book is wonderful and transfers you to a magical, mystical time and place with Dragons and other Mythical creatures. It leaves you turning the pages and staying up late to finish the book.This is book 1 in a series of 3. I would highly recommend it to anyone that likes a little magic in their life.
This is an account of a childhood with all it's childish adventures and developments but the child is extraordinary. After five hundred years when the human population had been destroyed, this one human child is mysteriously born of a great oak tree in accordance with an ancient prophecy. If you as a reader can suspend your doubts enough to pursue the story you will eventually seek out all the sequels as well. I did and now I am impatiently waiting for the fifth installment. If you love fantasy then don't miss these well written gems by Jenna Elizabeth Johnson.
I love this book and the books that follow it in the series.
I don't feel it was written for younger kids as some have said. If you take the time to read the prologue it weaves in a whole other element that contributes greatly to the plot.
Some people have mentioned misspellings; the author doesn't misspell words, she creates words and their spellings in a way that she feels they would be in the world she has created.
She also gives a pronunciation guide. I do agree that it would be nice if the words were just written the way they are pronounced.
Over all I love this series. There are currently 3 books available and a total of 5 books planned for the series.
I'm very excited to hear that the 4th book isn't far from release.
I found this story completely captivating. It is well written, flows smoothly and is easy to read. It is slow paced and being 500+ pages, it is not a quick read. The imagery is amazing, I can picture every scene as the story unfolds. The author did an amazing job portraing the characters, their emotions and the experiences they go through.
This would be a great book/series for a teen/young adult reader. There are all types of mystical creatures throughout the book. There are dragons, elves, dwarves, stories of lake monstes and other various creatures.
The lead female character is Jahrra. She is found in a sacred oak tree just a few hours old. A blonde haired blue eyed baby girl. Only humans can have blue eyes, but there hasn't been a human around for hundreds of years. Where did she come from, and could she be the child the prophecy speaks of? She is taken to a Nesnan family to be raised. Her adoptive parents are wonderful people who love her very much. She also has the ancient Korli dragon Hoombramantu guiding her.
This book is quite detailed in Jahrra's upbringing. How she got her start in life, up through her pre-teen years. While she may be raised to think she is an average Nesnan, she is anything but.
I can't wait to read the next book to see what will happen next. For those of you who have read the author's Otherworld Series, this is completely different. I highly recommend the book/series, and think it would be best appreciated by a younger audience.
