Customer Reviews

This Trilogy is Magnificent!

I've read all three, loved them dearly, and am heartbroken that they are out of print. Would be something I'd want my daughters to read. And much better than certain other dragon books that have recently been lent to the big screen. If you like dragons and fantasy, you will definitely want to find these books.

One of the best trilogies ever!

This is a wonderful book. Although the first and third books (Nightpool and Dragonbards)are also excellent, I think this is the best by far. It's about a young dethroned prince (Tebriel) who has discovered he has the power to contact dragons and help free the captive world from the tyrrany of the Unmen. It is a terrific book for young and old alike. I would recommend it to anyone who loves fanasty or a good adventure. I hope that soon this trilogy will be rereleased.

I had a crush on Kiri

I have to admit, I loved these books, and I wish they would do a reprint. I own The Ivory Lyre, but I was interested in finding the other two. Oh, and I had a huge crush on Kiri as a youngster.

Wonderful heroine, even more wonderful dragons!

I love the entire Dragonbards trilogy, but this one has to be my favorite volume of the three. I have no idea how many times I've read it - the librarians look at me and say, "You're checking it out again?" My major complaint is that the whole series is out of print - someone, please reprint these so that I can get my own copies and share them with my friends!

A hard-to-forget fantasy/adventure

I found this book in my local library 8 yers ago, and checked it out close to ten times. I still haven't forgotten it, and have been looking for it for years. The animals, the dragons, everything about it caught my imagination and made me long to be there with Tebriel and Kiri
