This was great audiobook. I love the twist on a dragon raising a child. And the struggle and strife made it all the more a great read. Thank you for what you have contributed to the world. ❤️
❤what an excellent story!! Well written, Carismatic characters. Loved it!! Joyful, sad, courageous!! Highly recommend!! Keep writing!! You are an excellent writer!! Thank you!!❤❤🎉
Thank you sir so much for this book I truly absolutely fell in love with Halifax but not just Halifax the story is wonderful I cannot thank you sir I'm on social security so I don't want to see it's difficult to buy books but because of authors like you and UA-cam I am able to keep my passion alive and God bless you and keep you
Why?? Why did you have to go and make me cry like that?? What have I ever done to you?! Truly a beautiful story. I’m telling it to my grandchildren now. ❤
5/5 It was more like a fairytale than a traditional story and I enjoyed every moment. I am a pretty harsh critic in my old age but the author captured and kept me interested the entire time. Not an easy task to be sure. Thanks for posting this and my respects to the author.
I loved this book!! I've heard quite a bit of audiobooks and I will say this one is definitely my favorite!! Great story everything made sense and character development was spot on.
Random hero: I'm strong! I was raised by wolves! Jade: hold my beer. Also on a more serious note this book was fantastic. It reminded me of Snow White with a pinch of Cinderella.
This was such an enjoyable story, it brought tears to my eyes. One teary moment was the realization that she Never fixed his wings so he could enjoy the freedom of flight again.💔😢
Damn! Haven't laughed so much Since i read Lackey's 500 kingdoms. Compelling voice acting, a tale that has me in stiches with tears running down my eyes, I think I found a new fantasy author to like. Subscribed from the start (almost)
oh - thank you Joseph - just realised you are one of the few enlightened authors who allow their work to be here on youtube (was just commenting on another series of audiobooks, also uploaded by the author - that another author told off people in the comment section for 'stealing' his content before ensuring all his audiobooks books were deleted from youtube) - ONLY reason I found his books in the first place was via an audiobook on youtube - now see - as I tried to explain to him at the time - this is great marketing - after finishing this I wanted MORE - sorrtof part of a series (- 6 more books - set BEFORE this - to explain some of the other bits, reference - awesome) - now checked youtube - not here - and unfortunately I can't afford to buy books anymore right now - so plan B = what I will do is check tomorrow (I need to find my library card first) check online if they already hold copies of these 6 books, if not, will do what done in past - request that the series be bought (now this may not be much - population of 1.6 million - maybe 6 copies of each (going by similar books/holdings) not that much in terms of sales 36 books - but brand awareness/new readers (if not already held by Auckland Libraries - currently the largest public-library network in the Southern Hemisphere with 56 branches (Auckland, New Zealand) (very responsive to the public they are - both in terms of purchasing on requests - and transferring between branch - why so few copies bought for such a large(ish) population) - still exposure... more series than that aren't there.....
I read the first 3 books of the Book of Deacon series on an e-reader before it decided to kick the bucket. Since then, I've focused more on audiobooks, and haven't read the the rest of the series. I'm glad I came across this audiobook. It reminded me about your books, so I'll make sure to read your others. It's been awhile, so I might have to go back and read the whole series.
WOW! I loved the book, thank you so very much. It is an excellent work. I'd love it if you wrote more. The world needs authors like you. I know you have more ideas. Keep it up!
Thanks! I've written quite a bit in addition to this, I just don't have permission to post the audio. Search Joseph R. Lallo wherever you buy books and you'll find more goodies. (There's a bunch of free stuff, too.)
I'm glad you liked it! There are many more books in this series, but unfortunately I'm not allowed to post them here on youtube because they are owned by Tantor Audio. Just search for The Book of Deacon on your bookstore of choice.
this was just perfect - especially the ending, been a long time since i cried over a book - I especially like how it - twists - the traditional fairytale - I mean the description - "Stripped of her family and kept in a tall tower by a fierce dragon due to the scheming of a mysterious stranger, Jade seems to be living in a twisted fairy tale". . is all very true and accurate - however expectations are subverted in the best possible way - I was getting close to the end last night, hoping for more - in case you don't know (like me) - this is sortof part of a series - The Book of Deacon Books - 6 books - this is a "side quest" set after these other books (so I'm figuring I'd be even more emotional if I knew more background) - loved this = *THANK YOU* for uploading it - really appreciate it - loved the end, made me cry, very satisfying - I do wish she had fixed his wings though
Peter W, I have found your novel ,Jade, has given me a curiosity about the legends and mythology, it is very interesting, I’m only about 15% though it, but it has stirred my imagination
Just wanted to say thank you 😃 this story was absolutely brilliant Loved ❤️ the 📖 & intend on buying the audiobook's version now I've heard this 😘 AWESOME 😎 KAZ😀🇬🇧💜😘
Thanks for the book, enjoyed it. I do wish the villain was fleshed out a bit more, I don’t quite understand his motivation or the rules he is forced to operate under.
This is part of a larger series called "The Book of Deacon", and there is a direct sequel to it called "Halfax". Unfortunately, they aren't freely available as audio books yet.
Spoiler-alert!!! She never fixed his wings as she promised she would.. that's a thread left unsolved. A dragon not able to fly must be worse than having just one eye.

Thank you very much for uploading this great book. The narrator is fantastic and brings the story to life!
Loved this story and was captivated by the narrators voice, the Irish lilt every now and then gently slipped through. Thank you for the download.

Awesome story. I absolutely loved the Lain origin story. You’re a great author Joe
This was such an enjoyable story, it brought tears to my eyes. One teary moment was the realization that she Never fixed his wings so he could enjoy the freedom of flight again.💔😢

This is a very lovely story. thank you, for giving it to us.

I really love your work! Your character was remarkable and I love her!
This is a lovely book. Well crafted and alliterative.
Super pretty cover art, no unnecessary half nakedness like many other fantasy books.
Don't judge a book by its cover.

Very good book. Love dragon stories.
Wonderful story! I was so immersed in it that wanted to continue. Thank you.
I loved this story so much.. I hope you can share more stories like this 💚
It's a book for kids and adults alike. I enjoyed it. Usually I prefer romance stories, but this was wholesome . Grumpy daddy dragon ... 🐉 ❤️
Best story I've heard in a while.

Thanks for sharing this - great story! #audiobook
I loved this book thank you very much and I loved your accent. At the end of the book I had a lot of mixed feelings but generally I really loved this.
This might be a good story. The constant commercials are killing it
A fine story!
what a wonderful story💗
Thank you Mr. Lallo.
"You have the force of presence of a damp washing-cloth" omg😂😂
I love love loved this book❣️
Such a heart wrenching friendship between howfax and jade, like father and daughter in the end.💞😍🥰🥺
Peter W, I have found your novel ,Jade, has given me a curiosity about the legends and mythology, it is very interesting, I’m only about 15% though it, but it has stirred my imagination
♨️Absolutely marvelous, light yet interesting. Thank you

Really like it. Would make a good movie.
This was straight up a good story
This was nice, I'll be sure to check out your links tomorrow when I'm on my computer. It seems you are a very active writer from what I looked at.
This is a very well written story.
I remember I started reading this book; never got to finish it
A wonderful story thank you
OF ALL THE BOOKS IVE LISTENED TO.. THIS ONE MY FAVORITE.. READ IT 5 TIMES SINCE 2 WKS AGO
Loved it!!
I this was so great, thank you! 👍
Finished #Jade, best 5 hours recently spent, even without any prior knowledge of the backstory. Now to dig into books 1-5(?)....
Are there books befote this?
@@pams8071 I believe so, but I'd follow the links in the description above by Joseph Lallo to find out. :-) Worth the investment IMHO.
So lovely.
Thanks for the book, enjoyed it. I do wish the villain was fleshed out a bit more, I don’t quite understand his motivation or the rules he is forced to operate under.
Go Jade, brave, strong-willed and open minded ❤😊
I loved this! 🥺🥺🥺
This book was awesome!!! 💚💚💚
What a wonderful fairy tail.
Amazing
A. Newport,,love this book and Jade and Howfax, are great characters. Please tell me there are more books in this series!
This is part of a larger series called "The Book of Deacon", and there is a direct sequel to it called "Halfax". Unfortunately, they aren't freely available as audio books yet.
I will keep checking, and wait for them. Thank 😊you, Mr. Lallo!
I hope there is apart 2 love this book
Technically, this is the sequel: ua-cam.com/video/G2xUURYwSww/v-deo.html
This book is sooooo good
i liked the stroy and the reader.
Such a beautiful story is there going to be another one? I do hope so, thank you.
Glad you liked it! There is a written sequel (called Halfax). No narration for it yet, but it's on the list for the future.
Good book.
I will definitely circle back and listen when I get more time
ditto
Personally I find that this story best enjoyed at 1.25 speed 😊
Any chance of a Sequel
There actually IS a Jade sequel, called Halfax. There aren't any immediate plans to produce an audiobook, but it's in the "eventually" pipeline.

Who is this narator? I swear I know her voice from an old tV show or something like that. ❤
Narrator alternates between high/loud/almost shouting and low/almost whispering/barely audible, and overly emoting all throughout.
Couldn't place the accent, It sounded quite exotic. I thought maybe it was English but no it's Irish.
Spoiler-alert!!!
She never fixed his wings as she promised she would.. that's a thread left unsolved. A dragon not able to fly must be worse than having just one eye.

I wanted to like it, but I am so bored. Maybe I am simply not in the right frame of mind. I made it to almost 2 hours.
What a demanding girl.
