My Review
:
This book was slow to read as I found myself re-reading parts of it to try to understand all that the author was trying to portray. There is a great amount of detail, and although it did take much longer than I normally spend reading this book, it was entertaining and interesting. Magic, wizards, portals, mystery and mystical creatures abound throughout this story. A great adventure for teens/YA and those adults who still believe in magic and fantasy. This book is meant to be the pre-quel of sorts for "DragonSpell" and other Dragon books by Donita K. Paul.
