Could a "good" dragon really be evil?

Witness to the kidnapping of her younger siblings' eggs, young bronze dragon Simle has good reason to think that all humans are evil. Tatelyn, whose brother was killed by a dragon who was supposed to be good, also has good reason to distrust even metallic dragons.

But when thrown together on a mission to recover their magical powers, Tatelyn and Simle realize that they have more in common than they ever imagined.

About the Author

R.D. HENHAM is a scribe in the great library of Palanthas. In the course of transcribing stories of legendary dragons, the author felt a gap existed in the story of the everydragon: ordinary dragons who end up doing extraordinary things. With the help of fellow scribes and Sindri Suncatcher, R.D. has filled that gap with these books.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Codexs Reader's Point of View, January 19, 2010

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Bronze Dragon Codex (The Dragon Codices) (Hardcover)

I think for this book I have to side with the dragon. It starts with a dragon and a girl hating the other race. I liked this book for it's action and adventure. I recommend this book to 9-16 year old humans.

Tatelyn has hated dragons ever since her brother was killed by a metallic one.
Now she is part of a group that moves about Krynn, persuading people to ban dragons from the land.

Simle has hated humans ever since her siblings were stolen by them and probably turned into draconians.
One day her mother is badly injured trying to protect pilgrims. Her mother gives her a jewelry in a chain she'd been given as a reward. In a rage Simle sets out to get her revenge on the ones responsible.

When their paths cross, Simle notices that Tatelyn has a pendant like the one her mother gave her. Wen the two pieces connect, Tatelyn and Simle must set out to find a way to undo the magic.


This is a wonderful story. Both Tatelyn and Simle are sympathetic characters who have suffered a great deal in their short lives. They are both motivated by a deep grief and are in need of healing. It's easy to relate to them and root for these two.
This one is my favourite DC book so far.

I really like the way the author lets us know how the dragon feels and think.
I also love the way these books are about the everyday dragon. It's not about epic battles or famous heroes. That make these books a great addition to any Dragonlance collection.
A must for dragon lovers.

My daughter got this for a Christmas present and really loved it. She even gave a copy to her best friend for her birthday. She has gone on to read the other books in the series and is looking forward to reading the others when they come out. She says the stories are very exciting and imaginative.
