The ending of this book is absolutely fabulous! And as for the rest of the book, not too far off either. I was not able to read this book through as fast as I would like, as I was interrupted by a million different things. Yet, I'm so glad I was able to read it. [author: Donita Paul] really knows how to tell a story. Some characters you think you know until you don't, and it is in an amazing way that you didn't see coming. One of the things that she has put into her good vs. evil I have recently seen in a new book up and coming [book: Beyond the Reflection's Edge] by [author: Bryan Davis]. It is amazing how things of the devil can look so much like the wonders of God, until you really look at them and see what they are made of fully. This book continues right after where the first [book: DragonSpell] ended. But here, you get more characters added into this wonderful assortment of personalities. I love the wizards! There is adventure, and this is quite the comfy entertaining story without a worry in the world, unless you consider the mordalkeeps, and bisonbecks, or the other creatures that want to turn you over to the evil wizard Risto and keep you from realizing the truth and power of Paladin and Wulder. *sigh* The message here is so complete, and just in a form that is needed. This book will be great for kids, and prompt the right questions and a great direction for life. Highly recommended for people in all places of life! ( )

I highly recommend this book! Very enjoyable, though I would say to read DragonSpell before you read this, at it is first in the series, and you'll be able to understand this book better. I liked this one better than the first, and it kept me reading straight through; I couldn't stop! ( )

This too was really great. If you read Dragonspell, then you've got to read this one! ( )

This is a good book!!! It is not as good as the other Dragon Keeper books but it's still good! ( )

Plot Summary: What happens, When & Where, Central Characters, Major Conflicts
The main character, a 15 year old dragonkeeper named Kale, is sent on several missions involving wizards, dragons, battles, and magic. Kale was an engaging character; she faces many challenges--such as two women who both claim to be her long-lost mother. She also has pledged her life to the service of Paladin, who is a mysterious leader who only occasionally appears with instructions about what Wulder's will is (Wulder apparently being the "God" of the story). .
Style Characterisics: Pacing, clarity, structure, narrative devices, etc.
Paul has created a lively fantasy world peopled with many strange and wonderful kinds of creatures, places, and objects. I found it confusing at first, and had to consult the glossary at the back of the book many times. But once I got into the story and connected with the struggles of the main character it was a delightful read.
