Ilustration Concering Books The Dragon King Saga (The Dragon King #1-3)
I started this book a looooong time ago, and for awhile I was reading it steadily. But then I got to the final book of the trilogy (it's one of those giant volumes with three books in one), and I put it down for weeks. I finally finished it up to a very underwhelming ending. The proselytizing just got to be too much for me. Sexism and racism I expect from mediocre high fantasy, but the unabashed proselytizing was new and repulsive. Seriously, the kingdom of the Dragon King previously worshipped a whole Greco-Roman pantheon of gods, but then the baby Dragon King and his hermit friend brought the religion of the God Most High to the people! The baby Dragon King even had VISIONS of a brown-haired man beaming at him! Then God gave him a magical sword, but he wielded it in anger, and it stopped being magic. But then he believed again, and it became magical once more!Rating Containing Books The Dragon King Saga (The Dragon King #1-3)

The Best ReadingNot since reading The Raven King Trilogy have I enjoyed such adventure. I laughed, I cried. I was there in every exciting scene. Stephen Lawhead is an exceptional writer. I am about to go on my next adventure with another group of his wonderful collection s. Cynthia J.c1982: FWFTB: knight, acolyte, companions, quest, usurper. This was a re-read for me and I did not realise how far the spec-fic genre has moved on since the 80s. It is still a good YA novel as an introduction to spec-fic but I don't think that I will reread the entire series. Recommended for the YA audience as the protagonist is 15 years old at the start of the book.

Just reread this series. Lawhead is an amazing writer, so it should be no surprise that this earns 5 stars from me. What separates this series from others I have read of his is the clear theological aspect. This enhances its meaning to me as a Christian reader, and takes me even deeper into Lawhead's creativity and exceptional story-telling ability. Marvelous.
Great fun. Entertaining and involving. Not as good as pendragon, but still quite good. I don't know if I will re-read this one, but I very much enjoyed it the first time through.

Deeply movingTruly a story to relish. A call to more--to live an honorable life, loving well and drawing others to a higher calling.
