An interesting fantasy turn

This is an original and well-wrritten fantasy story about a boy who lives in our world, but must go back to his own world to fight the Usurper. It's the first in a series of novels, but it's also a self-contained book (so you don't have to read all the books to make sense of the story). It moves from one world to another in fine fashion and features a powerful and moving ending.   I highly recommend it. Karleen Bradford is well known for her historical novels of the Crusades, this is her first foray into fantasy fiction.

Dragonfire is incredible!!!!

The novel Dragonfire written by Karleen Bradford is one of my favourite books! Bradford describes her characters in a way that makes them seem so real. In this novel fantasy was combined with adventure, and even though I never thought of fantasy as something I would enjoy, this book was way more than I expected! The mythical characters and conflicts became real to me and I couldn't put the book down. Dahl faces many problems, as he grows up learning that he is really the King of Taun, a kingdom that has been over taken by the evil Usurper. As Dahl tries to save his kingdom he discovers the true meaning of friendship,and realizes that the future of his people depends on him. The ending of this novel surprised me in a pleasant way and I couldn't wait to read the sequel. Over all this was a great book of good winning over evil. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
