Customer Reviews

Poor Oliver

The Dragon King was an awesome display of drive and struggle against the oppresive dragon king greensparrow. This book was filled to the brim of a wonderfully descriptive novel with humor, victory, and a real tone of sadness. Ah my beautiful buttercup how i will forever miss you.

Salvatore's triumph of imagination

I have found among many great writers a sense of stability and lustered quality that seems to make them stand out among the rest of the literary world. Those like Stephen King, Peter Straub, John Grisham, and others all title this list. In the Crimson Shadow series, Salvatore has isolated simple characteristics in the most complex characters of Katerin, Luthien, and the universily loved Oliver De'Burrows. Even Brind 'Amour and Greensparrow posses that certain air of genuiune quality. Though some characteristics of the story (especially in The Dragon King) are exceptionally predictable, they add to the completion of yet another chapter in a world that exists only in the mind's eye of the reader. I would recommend this series to any and all who have the time and patience to read it. Trust me, you will be rewarded.

A truly great book

I feel dumb! I read this book before all of the others in the trilogy! Now I will miss out on so much. This is, by far, the best book that I have ever read. I am in seventh grade right now, and my (poor) school system's curriculum up until now only gives us "age appropriate" books. This mass conflict thing was completely new to me. Also, this is the first book that I've read with anything being destroyed. Thank you, Mr. Salvatore, for renewing my interest in reading.

Spectacular ending

This was an excellent conclusion to the trilogy just like the previous two books. I can't say much except that you have to read it. I just wish Salvatore would read another trilogy in sequel to this one.

A great book, a must have book!

I loved the book. Oliver Deburrows the highway halfling was a great comedian. Luthien Bedwyr with his great sword battles was excellent. The romance was good to. I wish he would have made more books about the Crimson Shadow. What`s wrong with him! The story was good, but personally I would have changed more than one thing.
