First of all, before you read this book, I would recommend you read the first two in this series- 'DragonSpell', and 'DragonQuest'. I own this whole series, but I would have to say that this segment, though I enjoyed it, would have to be my least favorite. After the author establishes a strong heroine- Kale, in DragonKnight's predecessors, she takes the tactic of switching the point of view to Bardon- a side character from 'DragonQuest'. This route at times does work, but in my opinion, not often, and the book has to be exceptional to pull it off. I found Bardon to be a bit dry, complaining, and a full of self-pity. Though I did like the book, it was harder to keep my mind focused on the plot because of Bardon's annoying personality. Kale doesn't show up till the last few chapters, which I found disappointing. However, Bardon's character is strengthened as he goes on a unique journey that deeply refines him as into he really is- a kind, loyal, and caring person. The story has its magical moments, and characters are introduced that appear later on in the series. Just be prepared for a different hero, and enjoy the book! ( )

If you read Dragonspell and Dragonquest, you've got to read this book! If you haven't read the other two...what are you waiting for? You must hurry and read all three of these books before Dragonfire comes out later this year! Hurry!! ( )

This is my favorite book out of the Dragon Keeper chronicles. It has action, suspence, and you just will not want to put the book down, literaly!! ( )
