Imagine a world full of dragons living with humans. Seems impossible right? Diana Metz brings together realism and fantasty with flawless grace. This book may seem to be only about magic, but at it's core are lessons of tolerance and sacrifice, lessons to be learned by people of all ages. Talon is not a book for children to read alone, there is a lot to be understood, and is best read with a parent to help guide the question the book will present. Talon is an adventurous story full of love, and wisdom. It is easy to relate to the unique characters and care for them, cheer for them and be proud of them, even weep for them in their failures and triumphs. Diana has the makings and skill to compete with the adoration of Tolkein. A cherised read.

"I don't know who I am anymore" Talon sighed heavily. "A year ago I knew who I was, a young mercenary with a knack for battle tactics. I trained hard, fought where I was told and planned the deaths of hundreds of young men just like me. That's who I was. Now I'm what you, an old man, and now a dragon queen, say I am. I don't know if I like what you've made me." (pg 154)

When I first read this book (I've read it three times now) I found that I could not put it down. The story is amazing. A young boy named Talon once a warrior, now a wizard, forever the Krrig Daa. He goes through many ups and downs, physically and mentally, and through the incredible writings of Diana Metz you go with him. Her portrayal of Dragons as not only intelligent but incredibly social beast full of magic is one of the reasons I couldn't put this book down.

Thank you Diana for such a great book.

Talon and the Dragons of Crinnelia is one of the best books I have ever read. It is about a boy named Talon who ends up as the only person who can bring peace between dragons and humans. I highly recomed this book to any one who enjoys the Harry Potter series and those who like books with adventure and magic. My mother knows Diana from work, so I found out that there will be a second book in the seiries! I can't wait for it to come out. I just love her writing. :-)

My eight year old son is a huge fantasy literature fan and Talon and the Dragons of Crinnelia is his favorite book. It's full of adventure, magical creatures, and spellbinding characters and scenes that capture the imagination. I would recommend this book to anyone, old or young!

The is one of the best fantesy books that I have read. The book is not overly written with monotonous details and long character backgrounds. The author gets to point and sticks with it with out writing it to dry.

This book was excellent. I hate to read and this book kept my interest. I'm 13 and I really liked this book a lot. Everyone should read this book.

Talon and the Dragons of Crinellia is a really great book. I really like dragons and wizards and that sort of thing, so this book was right up my alley. I kept reading because I was excited to know what was going to happen next.

I think Talon and the Dragons of Crinnellia is different from other books of this type because it tells the story from both the dragons'and the wizards' points of view - back and forth. I have never read another book with a style like this, and I really liked it.

The characters in this book were easy to visualize. The personalities of the characters make the things they said and did seem believable.

I recommend this book to anyone over the age of 7.

I loved this book! Diana Metz finds a great new approach to a dragon fantasy! The words weren't neccesarily as fullfing as the plot was, but it was still great! I recently e-mailed the author and found that there was to be another book! And another after that! I can't wait. You're great Diana!

This book is the greatest book I have ever read! I, like so many other people, have loved Harry Potter books for a long time, and this tops it! I have never read a greater book! I myself got the first ever copy of this book, signed, and it is officially the best book ever. This book is about a soldier who has some magic powers, and some wizard tells him to go and get theese magic rings. On the way there, he befriends a dragon. When he gets back, the wizard takes him as an apprentice. Something happens, and an evil wizard comes and kidnaps him. The book is great, and I hope that this review makes you choose to buy this book. It's worth every penny, I guarantee it!... ;)
