No One Ever Suspected

First of all, this is my favorite McKiernan book. I don't think he will ever supass this work of art, and if you haven't read the book, don't read this review. It will ruin the book. I loved the characters in the book. The female warrior with the old coward and the love story between everybody else added a certain love side to it. Each of the characters also had an important part in the mission. This drew the book on and no one was shoved from the spotlight. I also liked the philosophy in this book. The questions, "The purpose of life", "Destiny or chosen path", and "Do 'gods' know all" tame the mind as well as give you something to think about. But absolutely the best part of the book was Alos. No one would have ever expected him to be the one to take down the mage. All anyone saw was the drunk man; they didn't know the reason for it. He was always dragged along unwilling, but when he was gone, everyone realized that he was special. This was the classic "Don't judge a book by it's cover", but in a new way. That part of the book was the one that makes you put it down and think for a while. No, this one will never be topped, all because of an old drunk. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

McKiernan caught me once again

Dragondoom is by far the best book I hav ever read, and so I expected a lot about this one, too. But what I read surprised even me. The story tied me from the very beginning, which only few books can. And it just gets better throughout the whole book. The characters are great, and the story has many surprising moments in it. When I read this book, I didn't live on earth anymore, but on Mithgar. Even the foreword is great, and it was over way too fast for me, although it has over 500 pages. It's not as good as Dragondoom, but it is darn close, closer than I ever could have expected from any book. A MUST for every fantasy fan.

Best fantasy I've ever read!!!!!!!

The Dragonstone is about an elf named Dara Arin, and her companions, who must search out and find a precious emrald stone called the Dragonstone. The stone is suppossed to be the doom of the world of Mithgar, the home of Dara Arin, and the known world. This stone is stolen by an evil Mage (Wizard) who wants to use the stone for the distruction of Mithgar, and its up to Arin, and her friends, to stop this evil mage from destroying the world. I thought it was a wonderful book, and it got me back into fantasy. I would like to read it over and over again. I give it ***** stars!!!!!

Great Book for any fantasy lover

This was the first book of McKiernan's I have read, and I must say that it was without a doubt the best book I have ever read. He masterfully intertwined love and adventure, without having too much of either aspect. There were also many philosophical questions raised in this book concerning religion, the afterlife, and freedom of choice. The story moves slowly at first when the Elven heroin, Arin, is retelling the tale of her vision, but in the last 150 pages it is nearly impossible to set the book down due to the excitement that McKiernan has built up. I have since bought McKiernan's "Voyage of the FoxRider", it too is a great book, though it falls short of this one.

Best Novel ever

Well, I just wanted to say, I fell in love with this book. I am generally a PERN fan, but this book has captivated me so much, that I couldn't put it down... it was just that great. I hope you make a sequel to this novel, and I look forward to buying more of these novels.
