Customer Reviews

Great book-but should have a sequel

I thought this book was really good-well written, lots of action and a good plot. But it deserves a sequel! I was very disappointed to hear that Margaret Weis is not continuing the series-I'm not sure if people will like reading this book wehn it doesn't really have an ending. She should have written at least one more book and given us some closure. It's still a great book though, in my opinion. It just doesn't have a good ending.

The second book

I asked Margaret Weis about the second book (see www.staroftheguardians.com for her addie) and she said that due to the death of her son David Baldwin, she would not continue the series, as it was more his work than hers, and it would not feel proper to use his ideas. It was his project. There is a prequil or similar called Testament of the dragon, but i think it's only available in America, as i cannot obtain it in the wonderful world of Oz here.

Dark Heart

This was one of the best books that I've read. I love all of Weis's books especially the Darksword seies and this one. The only problem I found is that I am so anxiuos to get the next one in the series. Also I believe that this could be an awsome book to movie. I would love to see what todays technology could do with it.

Lovely

This book has a intricate plot and a unique veiw on our world. It has meaning beyond that of the avreage fantasy story- but still, is smooth to read. I read it all in one night, staying up til 4 am, and wasnt even sorry i had done so in the morning. I would recommend this to anyone i know, whether or not they were regular fantasy fans- and i cant wait for the sequel. Its like sitting on pins and needles waiting for it! Definately the best Urban Fantasy i have ever read, and its up at the top with the rest of the books i have ever read, fantasy or not!

Prepare to meet the dragon!

Margaret Weis, creator of the now best selling Dragonlance novels, has put her pen to work writing about a new type of dragon here in the 20th century. Her work introduces us to Justin Sterling (my only gripe in the entire book is the name for this character and that is just personal) a disciple of the dragon. The story is woven with police intrigue, power stuggles between other dragon disciples along with Justin and the life of a survivalist, Sandra a cop investigating strange murders which eventually bring her to Justin.The book is well paced and lively, I finished it in about a week durring a busy work time. I wanted to spend more time reading this book than working. Each character flows seemlessly into the story and each has his or her place. I would almost call this a channeled work due to its intuitive reading nature. Margaret put so much thought into each one that you can feel their deepest desires and hidden desires as well as those which are closer to the surface.For those of you skeptical about reading some of Margaret Weises works outside of the Dragonlance theme, this book will not dissapoint you. As a long time fan of Weis, I am glad to see that she has lost none of her spark in her writing from editors, deadlines and such.PS The Dragon in this story is quite a new twist to dragon genre and very original! I wish I had thought of it!
