5.0 out of 5 stars I really liked it, and stayed up all night reading it., June 4, 2001

This review is from: Dragon and Phoenix (Paperback)

I'm not a teenager, in fact, I'm a grandmother, so saying that this book is too juvenile for anyone not a teen is a bit arrogant. I read many books, but for pure escapism, I really enjoy a good 'fantasy' novel! Some of those 'critically acclaimed' books for the 'discriminating reader' are just plain boring, although not all are.

Personally, I like reading about dragons. I think that Anne McCaffrey is my favorite author, but this give the same feelings: good vs bad, light vs darkness. The good guys win in the end by acting with honor. There should be more books like this that show our kids how to act with honor and respect to others.

I truly enjoyed this book, so much in fact, that I stayed up all night until 4 am reading, until I just could not stay awake anymore. I just didn't want to put the book down. I finished it the next morning, after a good nap!

This was absolutely great! I hope that there is a retro book, detailing Lindens past as well. Perhaps even one that details the shaman's war that created the DragonLords.

I started out with this second one in the series, and once it was finished, (I stayed up all night to read that one too!) I had to go find the 1st one to read. When are there going to be more? I can hardly wait.

Keep up the good work, Joanne Bertin!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun book!, January 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Dragon and Phoenix (Hardcover)

Other reviews go into the plot, so I won't. Many 2nd novels in a trilogy are dull, hard to get through, and unappealing. Not so this one. Ms. Bertin adds interesting cultures, characters, and climates to what was already rich in The Last Dragonlord. Bad guys are bad but still have good characteristics; good guys still have flaws. She makes people and animals real. Now I have new favorite characters and I can't wait for Bard's Oath!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Magnificent Novel and a Breathtaking Sequel!, June 2, 2000

By 

"bear283" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dragon and Phoenix (Hardcover)

Joanne Bertin wrote "The Last Dragonlord," which is my favorite book, I literally could not put it down! I was beyond belief happy to find out she was writing a sequel. "Dragon and Phoenix" is the best sequel novel I have ever read, it maintained the characters you loved from the first novel and made them even more intriging and captivating to read about. The descripitions of the characters and places are some of the best I've read. The plot was completely unexpected and other-worldly great. Joanne Bertin has a mystifing talent that I do not believe she has fully tapped into yet... but hopefully she has may more novels to surprise and captivate us with. Joanne Bertin is one of the best writers out there and is quickly becoming my favortie author.
