This book is the sequal to Dragon of the lost sea. I Liked this book better than the Dragon of the Lost sea because it had more adventure.I read this book right after the first book. I liked this book and would recomend this to people who like fantisy and adventure books. I thought this book was easy reading and very entertaining.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Dragon Steel (Paperback)

I just read this book for school and I love it.I think it is the best magic related book out there,Harry Potter is O.K. but I like this book a ton better because it is a fight of what you believe in and Pincess Shimmer trying to restore her home with the help of Thorn and Indigo mainly and Monkey and the Lord.I like how they can change shapes and look like other people and or dragons.FACT-It is the #1 magic book ever!

5.0 out of 5 stars A book that which will make you stop doing everything!!!, February 28, 2001

By 

Ta (Thailand, Bangkok) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dragon Steel (Paperback)

I'm always play game and think that reading is wasting my time, until I met this unique book. Its title is name Dragon Steel. At first I chose this book because it's not really thick and some people said that this fiction book is fantastic! Then I started reading it and realize that... THIS BOOK IS FUN. I liked Dragon Steel because there are many random instant sentences, which I love, and I also will gladly recommend this book to all people. When you read this book, it will be very difficult to put this book downs, this book will make you stop doing everything. I will be waiting for this author's book because his writing is really touching. To me, evil will succeed if good is down.
