I was in the library and found this book on the 'New arrivals' shelf.
took it home, read it, finished it, and....
was wondering to read the first 2 or not

pros: some snappy dialouge, plot twists, and some butt-kicking actions!
cons: plot holes (Troy and Ed should REALLY work together, not write the tales and get together to see if they matched), dumb plot for Vangerdahast's escape, lots of hack/slash/kill, and a sad ending.... (get your kleenex nearby folks)

orcs, ghazneths, dragon oh my!

grant you, I was indulged by the tale of Rowan, was saddened by Talaslanta's choice, and Vangerdahast's difficult choice (fiesty old guy, he's the only one I look forward in reading this book). I find... forgive me...Talaslanta quite boring (pining away for Rowan too much).... Alusair was the most interesting between the two princesses.

trying to picture Talaslanta and Vangerdahast kissing had me retching...

<font color="white">Thank you for the post.
I own the previous two, but have not read them.
I am still looking foward to buying the <u>Death of the Dragon</u> when my pay-check allows it.
I am getting it mainly because Troy Denning had something to do with it.
I really admire his work.
Ed may have held him back from making the novel truely grand.</font>
