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.

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.

I absolutely love this book. I have it already and I've read it about five times. I just had to comment on it when I saw it here. I love all the little plot tricks Ms. Rawn puts in, especially that thing with Masul's real father. And it came as such a shock when Rohan found out what Pandsala did! Whenever I remember that this world isn't actually real, that's the biggest shock, because Ms. Rawn just writes so well. You MUST read the entire series! She's also got out the Exiles trilogy, pick that one up too! It's just as good as this one!

I wanted to give it three stars because for a couple hundred pages in the middle it is extremely slow. However I've read it more than once and my cover is bent. That means I genuinely liked the novel.

Rohan and Sioned have to deal with the challenges of ruling together, and the intrigue and drama grips you and won't let you go.

For me this was the Dragon Prince's 'happily ever after' explored as being the continuing challenges of life. Rawn weaves a rich world with great characterization and political intrigue. If you liked volume one of the Dragon Prince, buy volume two. You won't go wrong.

I would have to say after reading Lackey's Valdemar Series I was excited about reading Melanie Rawn's Dragon Prince and Star series. The story is great with enough action to get you through the whole book. They follow a typical theme through each book. I think Melanie is up there with Raymond Feist, Harry Harrison and other great writers.

this series was recommended to me by a friend, and i enjoyed every single word right to the very last page. A definite must-read, melanie rawn has created a rich and vibrant world, with well-developed concepts. Adventure, romance and intrigue all rolled up in two thrilling trilogies. Didn't even want to put this down while i was driving!

From what I have read of Melanie Rawn's books is that she is good at developing characters and provides good plots, but takes a little too much time describing how perfect and beautiful everyone is. Not everyone can be beautiful and perfect. The last 300 pages offer a really good story, but the first 400 is pretty annoying.

The nice prince in the previous book is now the boss type of princes himself, and is happily married to the witchy wife woman. They have a kid who is going to get the double whammy of rulership and witchiness when he grows up.

In the meantime they have to solve the problem of being nice to dragons and stopping evil sorcerer guys.

I loved this book, but thought that what happened to Andradre when she tried to show the past in the fire was really predictable. (I won't say specifics, I don't want to give anything away.) But overall this book was very good.
