5.0 out of 5 stars Wow., September 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Scalehunter's Beautiful Daughter (Hardcover)

The story is of a girl in a town on the back of a dragon frozen in place by a 1000 year old spell, who's father works (as you can imagine) hunting scales on the back of the dragon. Due to an unlucky twist of fate, the girl must hide inside the dragon's mouth, then finds herself a prisoner of the creatures that live inside the inert, yet still powerful and very aware dragon.

Lucius Shepard is a stunningly beautiful writer, and this novel and Life During Wartime are two of the best stories I have ever read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Dragon Story Done Differently, April 28, 1998

This review is from: Scalehunter's Beautiful Daughter (Hardcover)

This is not your standard dragon story. Shepard has done something utterly amazing: a story for adults. With an ending that you will not forget. Shepard wrote two other dragon stories, all were a challenge to himself inasmuch as he greatly dislikes most dragon stories; so he wrote one that he would like. And if you know Shepard, you know to expect the unexpected.
