Description Conducive To Books Stealing Death
“I want that soul sack,” he said suddenly.“What?” the witch asked around the scrap of meat she was chewing.
“I want it so no one I love will ever, ever, ever have to go inside again.”
“It’s not for mortal hands to have.” The witch spat out a bit of bone.
“You know magic. Give me the power to steal the sack.”
When fire steals his family from him, Kipp is left with only his little sister to protect as best he can, and he’s determined that death will not come to her–or to the girl he loves but can never approach.
But who would dare to master death? As Kipp finds out, it’s complicated, and possession of the soul sack is no guarantee of success. Dragon’s Keep author Janet Lee Carey has crafted a stirring and original fantasy set in a harsh and beautiful desert landscape, in which a young man who has lost everything finds the strength within himself to care for those he loves–and to allow those he cannot keep close to him to take a path he cannot follow.

It was not bad, but I just could not get interested in it. I may come back and try again and quite enjoy it and then again, I may not....It took awhile for me to get into this, and I figured out the ending pretty early on, but there were still some good twists I didn't expect.
I enjoyed this book. It was a different world indeed. There was Folk-lore in here that was just great. thought i must say at time the journey of the main Character was rather random or little to played out. Though i loved the the flying, magic,dragons, horses, the animals (in general), and the setting its self. I have read of few of Carey's books and i always find my self swooshed off to another world. This one is a probably up there as one of my favorite out the books i have read from here.
I don't remember why I marked this on my to-read shelf...it is not my kind of book; hence, the 2-star. It is a finely written story and if one likes to read of fictional lands with fictional gods/afterlife, then they may enjoy this book.
This was a beautifully written young adult fantasy but I found myself struggling to finish it. I loved Carey's first book Dragon's Keep. This one just doesn't measure up to her previous success. I give it 4 stars for her writing style and 2 stars for story line since I found it somewhat predictable. Thus, the 3 star rating.
Well-written fantasy, but somewhat predictable story of a boy coming to terms with the death of his family. I don't agree with all the conclusions, but I think it will cause kids who read it to ask good questions.
