(  ) DriderQueen | Jul 11, 2009 |  Hambly writes adults, a rarity in the fantasy genre; in particular, Dragonsbane is a depiction of middle-aged regret, of people who because of historical circumstances and personal situations will never achieve what they dream of, and somehow Hambly writes it in a way that's not depressing and that appealed to me even as an adolescent unsympathetic to the failure to achieve. Also, the dragons are cool.Under no conditions read the sequels. In fact, let us agree that the publishing records lie and no sequels exist. We will all be happier that way. (  ) coffeeandink | Jun 5, 2009 | A good read--and I am not a dragon fan as a rule. (  ) thesmellofbooks | Feb 26, 2009 | High quality fantasy - Barbara Hambley writes male protagonists I invariably fall in love with.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345315723, Mass Market Paperback)When the Black Dragon seized the Deep of Ylferdun, young Gareth braved the far Winterlands to find John Aversin, Dragonsbane -- the only living man ever to slay a dragon. In return for the promise of the King to send help to the Winterlands, Aversin agreed to attempt the nearly impossible feat again.With them, to guard them on the haunted trip south, went Jenny Waynest, a half-taught sorceress and mother of Aversin's sons. But at the decadent Court, nothing was as expected. Rebellion threatened the land. Zyerne, a sorceress of seemingly unlimited power, held the King under an evil spell, and he refused to see them. Meantime, the dragon fed well on the knights who had challenged him. In the end, Aversin, Jenny, and Gareth had to steal away at night to challenge Morkeleb, largest and wisest of dragons. But that was only the beginning of the perils they must face. (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:23 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
