This is an extraordinary adventure. Swordplay, guns, helicopters, fast cars and a striking conclusion make for a headlong, interesting read for teenagers.

A Brilliant Book!,
This review is from: The Coming of Dragons: The Darkest Age I (Hardcover)
For the fans of fiction: a must read! Fast-paced and accurate, I never put the book down once. The plot is well-planned and detailed, as well as exiting and interesting. Curiosity to find out what happens next in this book is absolutely over-whelming! The beginning, when I started, was not the greatest of beginnings (I have to say) but after you get to know the situation and the characters, I sort of grew to love them. THe unexpected lurks in every sentence in this book! I repeat: For anyone who considers themselves a reader, they HAVE to read THE COMING OF DRAGONS. It's not a book that pops up everyday!

A Good Story...,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Coming of Dragons: The Darkest Age I (Paperback)
...that's what we're all look for, right? Pros: Nice "gifts" for Edmund and Elspeth. If you are into the Eragon series, Edmund's gift (although not nearly as powerful as a dragon rider) is similar in that he can sense things and see what others are seeing. Interesting characters...still waiting to find out more about Clurian. Cons: imagery is fair to good. I had trouble "seeing" the landscape at times or the people in it. Edmund and Elspeth ALWAYS choose the "wrongly". Heros (and heroines) are supposed to get into tight spots--I get it--but not always because they make sophomoric choices.Overall a good read. Ordered 2nd and 3rd if that tells you anything.
