Explanation In Favor Of Books King's Dragon (Crown of Stars #1)

The Kingdom of Wendar is in turmoil. King Henry still holds the crown, but his reign has long been contested by his sister Sabella, and there are many eager to flock to her banner. Internal conflict weakens Wendar's defences, drawing raiders, human and inhuman, across its borders. Terrifying portents abound and dark spirits walk the land in broad daylight. Suddenly two innocents are thrust into the midst of the conflict. Alain, a young man granted a vision by the Lady of Battles, and Liath, a young woman with the power to change the course of history. Both must discover the truth about themselves before they can accept their fates. For in a war where sorcery, not swords, may determine the final outcome, the price of failure may be more than their own lives.

Evaluation Appertaining To Books King's Dragon (Crown of Stars #1)

Ages ago, I started reading Kate Elliot's Crown of Stars series, but lost track of just which book I had gotten up to, and so kept putting the rest of the series off. I've just started rereading the books to remind myself of what happened.The general setup of the world is based on actual early medieval history, say around AD 900. The kingdoms of Wendar and Varre (where the bulk of the series takes place) obviously occupy what would be Germany, the Eika (savage non-humans with tough

Leading up to our wedding, Bethany and I both blazed through Kate Elliott's Crown of Stars series as fast as we could We both adored it. At long last, after five years, I'm returning to it. Prior to this, neither of us had been voracious readers of speculative fiction. So, my reread is for two purposes: 1. Refresh the great characters in my mind; and 2. See if it holds up. The first volume definitely did. King's Dragon shifts the narrative perspective frequently, relying on the observations of

3.5. Slow start; enjoyable but predictable read. I will most likely continue with the series.



5 stars.I loved this book. I loved everything about it. Its very much epic fantasy, so if thats not your bag than you are not going to like this book at all. Maybe Ill write a full review in the future, but dont hold your breath.

Be bound, as I am, by the fate others have determined for you. That way youll remain safe. A book that combines Guy Gavriel Kays writing finesse with Jacqueline Careys opulent world building. And I bet you have not heard about it before. Your bad.OK. Maybe you are not a seasoned fantasy reader and the names I mentioned do not ring a bell. Additionally, you are quite partial to dragons (welcome, welcome, here is your complimentary Who Cares About Dragons Society membership card) and the hideous

No spoilers here. After reading this first book of a seven book series, I must say that I wonder why it doesn't come up on more lists of finished fantasy series, perhaps for the lack of readers. Thinking it may be the covers, which do not work at all compared to the story itself. This story takes place in a medieval setting where magic looms about, and has a gritty feeling to it. The book is written in two points of view, and later on third point of view is inserted. You do have the typical
