I enjoyed this series of books. This is the sequel to Dragon Bones. Great character descriptions and a believable world. My only complaint is the ending. Rather anti-climatic and, to me, it ended a bit abruptly. She said she was writing a new Hurog book so I hope that will put to rest the issues I had with the ending. ( )

I loved the this book and its predecessor, "Dragon Bones".

My only complaint is I wish they'd been longer. Briggs could have done an obnoxious epic fantasy treatment with both books and I would've dove right in.

Her website mentions she might write a third Dragon book at some point, so I'm definitely crossing my fingers.. ( )

It was nice to have the rest of Ward’s story, but I think I preferred Dragon Bones. Somehow the stakes for this never quite seemed real to me and so I was never that worried. [Aug. 2011] ( )

I read these after I read the Twilight series. Briggs is so great! ( )

I read the first in series yesterday and part of second last night. I really enjoy her stories. Its full of action,adventure, doing whats right, magic. Ward is rebuilding his home the keep after having had to destroy it in the last book. He is taken back to the high king and put away so they can break him and show he is the mindless fool but with help of magic ward is able to show that he is not dumb. He has learned that the king has a powerful weapon and needs his familys blood to power it. To protect is family and lands he joins the rebellion to put the kings brother on the throne. Lot mistrust and fearful of power, dragons magic in this story. I throughly enjoyed it and did not want to put it down ( )
