Loved it!

This was a great ending to a great series! Very exciting, encouraging and captivating. I highly recommend the series.

Doesn't Disappoint

This book does not disappoint! From the first chapter I could tell this would be a fantastic read. In fact, once I finally managed to get a copy I couldn't put it down. I read the entire novel cover-to-cover in a day! This is the first book in two years I have done that with. Donta K. Paul did a fantastic job wrapping up Kale's incredible tale. Quite honestly, I am so glad I stuck out with the entire series - DragonSpell I did not enjoy, DragonQuest is still my favorite, DragonKnight was fantastic, DragonFire a small disappointment, but DragonLight was absolutely stellar! The entire series is well worth reading! Paul even manages to throw a few plot twists that (after looking back) I still can't see coming. Looking forward to her next project!

Truly An Adventure for All Ages

My biggest hesitation going into the Dragon Keeper Chronicles was the target age group. I got the impression that the books were written to be appropriate for and understandable to children and young adults... hardly a series that will help a college junior keep up her "grown-up" appearance! ;) Since I started reading, Kale and her companions have kept me up half the night over and over from the beginning of the series to this very satisfying finish. I feel as though I truly know these characters, and I wish I had my own pack of colourful minor dragons to accompany me wherever I go. The Christian allegorical storylines occasionally feel cliché, but the author handles this well and I have never once felt that it was overdone. I definitely recommend this book for anyone looking to read a clean, uplifting series with exciting storylines and memorable characters who truly draw you in.

great

this is a great book!! i loved it! it is kinda the end but she is making another series that will link to this one. hope this helps!

End to series fantastic read, even for non-fans of genre

Dragonlight by Donita K. Paul is not a book I was prepared to enjoy. It's fantasy, not my favorite genre, and it's the fifth (and last) book in a series. With those two strikes against it, I decided to give it a couple of chapters before giving up on it entirely. But within the first few pages, Kale and her army of tiny dragons enchanted me. I kept putting the book down intending to be finished with it, but I couldn't stop reading it. DragonKeeper Kale and husband Sir Bardon live on the island of Amara, which is populated by several different races and a variety of dragons. A very helpful glossary in included at the end that I found myself flipping to often. Kale and Bardon follow the teachings of Wulder, the creator of their world, whose ways are being reinstated throughout the land. They travel into the Northern Reaches to help some meech dragons find their homeland, investigate a mysterious dragon the size of a mountain, as well as a new cult-like group that has sprung up recently throughout the kingdom. Lots of plot packed into this terrific book. Paul creates engaging characters who make the fantasy world come to life. I definitely plan on going back to read the rest of this series, as well as the new books coming out in 2009 also based in this world. Don't let any preconceived notions scare you away from this book; it's a wonderful read!
