5.0 out of 5 stars Un-Fogs the Mystery surrounding the Dragonrealm!, April 9, 2000

This review is from: Shrouded Realm (Origin of Dragonrealm) (Paperback)

This book, the Shrouded Realm, un-fogs much of the strange mystery of the Vraad and the Dragonrealm itself. I was so surprised at all the things I discovered, like the origin of Sirvak Dragoth, the Guardians, Darkhorse, and, most importantly, the slight clearing up of Shade's past. I love the author's style. He slips subtle hints about things that you would miss if you were not looking for it. and even then it feels like you know something nobody else does. I recommed this book!

I liked this book alot. I have read all the original Series and have started on the Origins books now. After reading this I want to go back an re-read the series to make more sense of the story Knaak has laid out.

My favorite thing in this book is that Shade is in the majority of the book however Knaak never makes it absolutley clear that the person he writing about is the one and only Shade in the original Series. As you read this book you will pick up on the foreshadowing he uses about Shade. All in all an excellent read. If you liked the other Dragonrealm books you will not be disappointed.

I wound up reading this after several of the other dragonrealm novels, and you really don't have much reference to any of the other characters (Cabe, Gwen, Gryphon, etc) other than in the prelude. However, the characters here are endearing and entertaining. You will cheer for the good guys and hate the bad guys, typical of Richard Knaak's other works. If you read this however, you must follow through with his other novels, although Children of the Drake and Dragon's Tome drag a bit, it does set the stage for Firedrake, even though Firedrake is the first in the set, I believe.
