Master of Many Treasures (Mass Market Paperback)

by Mary Brown (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
Summer is determined to find the man she loves?despite the fact that he is a dragon and, therefore, beyond her aspirations. She begins an arduous journey that takes her from the merchant city of Venice and along the Eastern spice-trade route to the mysterious Blue Mountain, where dragons are rumored to exist. This stand-alone sequel to Pigs Don't Fly (Baen Bks., dist. by S.&S.) employs standard fantasy themes?dragons, fair maidens, talking animals, and hidden treasures?and gives them new and sometimes rueful twists. Brown, a skillful writer, excels at creating vivid descriptions and well-rounded characters. A good choice for most fantasy collections.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Little Unnecessary, August 9, 2000

By	AllieKat (Nashville, TN) - See all my reviews

I liked "Pigs Don't Fly" and was excited when I saw the sequel at the store, but after reading it, I'm a little disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I didn't think it was bad, but I was a little let down. The plot is pretty much the same as the other two books of Mary Brown's that I've read. I've enjoyed them all but I would like to see something besides "heroine on a quest with several animals that she can talk to." This particular novel is about Summer's continued quest to find her only love, Jasper, who is a dragon. But he's not a dragon all the time. Because she kissed him three times, he must spend three months a year in human form. Summer is accompanied by her loyal dog, Growch, who is frank, uncouth, and lovable, and also by a dancing bear that she rescued, a thief that is convinced she's after treasure, a ten-year-old slave (also rescued), and a magical creature created by Buddha. While this book is almost but not entirely like it's predecessor, it's still an interesting story in and of itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Unespected Dragon, April 13, 2004

By	Amber (Arizona, USA) - See all my reviews

My Mother got me this book for christmas, the only reason being i love dragons, but hated to read. but i finally did read it and found it very enjoyable. so much i have read it three times, over a couple years. "my mother was the village whore" is what caught my attention from the beginning, and yes it can be quite a depressing book, you just want everything to work out for summer in the end, but tragically & with a twist you find that no to be the case, i was a little dissapointed with Dragonne's Eg. it was a bit confusing at first and i kinda lost interest. but it has its moments as well, i still love this book and will continue to read it, and recomend it to anyone who is interested in a Fantasy/romance/adventurous type of book

3.0 out of 5 stars I read for pleasure, no other reason., May 6, 2001

By	Thomas S. Davis "sivad_422" (Thayer, IL United States) - See all my reviews

Mary Brown does in this book, exactly what an author is supposed to do, she took me out of my mundane world, allowed me to forget my aches and pains, and captured my imagination.

All through the book she led me to beleive that the story's climax would not be the standard "happily ever after", yet she was not so heavy handed that I was allowed to anticipate the true ending. The ending was a surprize! I enjoyed this book.
