Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

The peaceful reign of High Prince Rohan and his Sunrunner wife Sioned faces a serious challenge when the discovery of an ancient scroll and the machinations of Rohan's enemies threaten the life of his son, Pol. Forbidden magic, treachery in high places, and a strong current of romance form a lavish, tapestry-like background for this sequel to The Dragon Prince ( LJ 11/15/88). For most fantasy collections.-- JC

5.0 out of 5 stars This is fantasy, November 24, 2004

This review is from: The Star Scroll (Dragon Prince, Book 2) (Paperback)

This book is a very good read, full of adventure, romance, intrigue, magic, and suspense. While first book in this series was a bit slow, this book takes you back to what got you hooked on fantasy novels.
The characters are developed down to the smallest detail. They almost become personal friends. You feel all the excitement, fear, anger, and happiness that they feel.
The story is a typical adventure story, but Ms. Rawn has developed a way of throwing you of the predictable path with many different twists and curves to her plot. Some of which are so far off you want to start over to see if you missed something that could have predicted this event.
The only real issue with this book is that it takes time to develop. Some may think this book is to long, but a strong story with good character development takes many things and time is one of them.
Overall, this is an excellent book. I loved it and have read it many times.

High Prince Roelstra is dead, but Prince Rohan's world faces new threats from within and without as sorcerers, with powers identical and perhaps surpassing the Sunrunners, make their bid for power. A new generation rises to maturity as the children of Dragon Prince take their place in the world, and old characters meet their various fates.... A can't miss for fans of Dragon Prince and fantasy lovers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worthy as the second book to Dragon Prince., September 3, 1998

No longer a newborn, Pol is introduced as a young adult. Old conflicts are solved and new ones are created, but this book broadens the world that Dragon Prince started.
