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!
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.
When I first picked up Dragonspell I fell in love. The first three books I thought were great, I fell in love with just about all the characters and considered it a great unique read. Kale was by far the most believable character and I loved Paladin and all of their adventures.However, I'm probably the only one but I felt the series lacked from Dragonfire to Dragonlight. I was kind of disappointed. I felt some of the characters lost substance and I felt the writing was a little choppy in the fourth one.But Dragonlight I felt was better than the fourth novel. I felt it was more romantic between Bardon and Kale and I was happy with it overall. Bardon annoyed me in this book a lot. He comes of too preachy and I kept saying "shut up Bardon" in my head. Kale again I felt was wonderful. She never lost her spunky personality and I felt she was always the one messing up and Bardon was too perfect and I felt a "that's it?" feeling at the end of Dragonlight.I really rate it 3.5. I thought it was very solid and very spiritual and very clean (of course it targeted a younger audience). But wish there was more of a real feeling when I read it. I'm not trying to down the series but I felt it lacking toward the end that's all. *dodges thrown objects* Other than that I did enjoy it for it being very wholesome :-). I will definitely read other books by Donita K. Paul!
Love this book- that being said it is probably my least favorite of the series- but it is a great series and this is a decent finale (and I had to know what happened next)- I am ready to check out her spin off series
Great book, however, I received the product with an ink manufacturing defect. There was a red line of ink on the bottom edges of the pages. I ordered the entire series and each book had the same defect. Only visable if you look at the bottom of the book when it's closed :'(
The book is a great christian fiction book, very exciting, with lots of plot turns and lots of truth. If I had one complaint about this book, it probably be the drastic change in tone from the rest of the series. The last book had a good climax, but the climax wasn't based off of the events that the author had already developed. The pace was also a little fast. It seems to me this book might have been better if it were two books. Nevertheless, it was a very good read. I love Donita K. Paul's writing, and I'd suggest it to anyone.
This series is one of my favorites. Humor, adventure, and an inspiring story that brings joy every time I read it. (I just finished my fourth tour through the Dragon Keeper Chronicles, and I promise that it won't be my last.)
My pre-teens and teens run through books like crazy. I have trouble keeping up, and keeping their literary appetites satiated. Frankly, I created these monsters, and now sometimes I am at a loss what to do with them. I am so thrilled to have found the Dragon Keepers series, and to be able to recommend it to other parents. As far a science fiction/fantasy genre goes, this is a terrific read. The characters are engaging and three dimensional, the plot is full of fore-shadowing, yet you just aren't sure what is next. Her "take" on dragon lore is fresh, yet genre fans will feel comfortable with her interpretation. Yet, as a parent, I have worried about some books & series in this sci fi/fantasy genre. They tend to be dark. Not so with Dragon Keepers. In fact, they are hope-filled (without being preachy or corny) and - while dramatic and suspenseful - not in any way graphic or troublesome for my high-level pre-teen readers. The five Dragon Keeper novels have the honor at my home of being equally treasured by all my "kids" - from 10 to 20 years old.
