5.0 out of 5 stars finally a good read, August 28, 2005
This should be the book you take to the beach or read for pure entertainment. Better than some stupid inane romance novel. I was given this book to read while recovering from extensive surgury. Thank God because even though I am a chick, I love a good battle. I can hardly wait to read the other books in this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic sword and sorcery, August 3, 2005
On his way home Hal Kailas saw the lord's son Nanpean torture a baby dragon; he punches the boy and takes the kit back to his mother. Hal's family is in danger of losing their tavern for Hal's actions so he leaves the village of Caerly in the Kingdom of Deraine. He becomes a vagabond, wandering from job to the job, never finding anything that interested him until he becomes the goferr for a traveling troupe that sells dragon rides.

Hal knows he wants to do something with dragons on his own. However, the Queen of Roche uses a land dispute to go to war with Deraine and Sagene. Hal t is conscripted and rises to the occasion to become a leader of men. When his troops are massacred, Hal enlists to be trained to fight on dragons in a new unit. His exploits and daring earn him the hearts and admiration of the populace but the war costs him that what he treasures most. When he is injured, instead of mustering out like the king expects him to, Hal volunteers to lead a new dragon unit as their Dragonmaster.

This book is filled with plenty of action and will appeal to readers who love military fantasy. The use of dragons and magicians to aid in the war effort is so much a part of the storyline that readers will find themselves believing that such things are really possible in wartime. As the hero matures, he and the audience observe the toll of war as humans and dragons die at an alarming rate. Chris Bunch is a talented storyteller who entertains his audience with a fantastic sword and sorcery epic.

2.0 out of 5 stars Maybe ok for YA, but disappointing, April 23, 2009
I'd read some of Bunch's work before - mainly, his trilogy Seer King / Demon King / Warrior King - and it was pretty good, so I expected this to be at least on a similar level. Unfortunately, it's not. Maybe if you have only read children's books before taking this on, it would be a good read, but if you've read very much quality fantasy at all, this is a very trite read. As others have noted, characterization is thin, and the prose is competent but very pedestrian. It almost feels like an outline that with a little more imagination and flair would have been a pretty fun read. I actually didn't even expect this to be anything but a light and fun read going in, but it's not even that - it's just limp, and I had to force myself to finish. It's easy reading though, so at least it went fairly quickly.
