- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5One of my favorite books, the world was realistic and detailed enough to entrance me, the characters were my friends! Such a good book!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Bardon has grown up considerably in this book. He's even learned to tolerate people. When he has to...and preferably not during his mandatory sabbatical. But a good man goes where he's needed, and the strangers he meets definitely need his help. N’Rae, one of the strangers, is a beautiful and rather naive young emerlindian. Her ability to mind-speak with animals both helps and hinders their quest to locate and rescue her missing father. Another member of the quest is generous to a fault--legally! Through the twists and turns of the unexpected, the new and the familiar characters battle seaborne monsters, cave dragons, and grawligs, to name a few.In the end, all turns out well and along the way, a good deal of common sense is packed into Bardon's (never dull) meditations. ***To Bardon: "Have you ever stolen beauty?"Bardon: "Never."
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Donita K. Paul continues her very popular Christian fantasy series, The Dragonkeeper Chronicles, with the third book in the series, DragonKnight. This story was the most enjoyable one that I have read so far, as it has departed somewhat from the traditional format of the rest of the books. In the first two books, the entire narrative was from the point of view of protagonist Kale Allerion, wizard in training. What makes this book different, not “better” really, so much as refreshing, is that the narrative was split between Kale and fellow protagonist Bardon the Squire. When the story begins, Bardon is nearing the ending of his training under his doneel Knight and master, Sir Dar of Wittoom. He has some doubts of whether he wishes to be a knight or not, and wonders if this is truly the best way to serve Paladin, his ruler and the representative of Wulder in Amara. Dar has sent him on a sabbatical to ponder his choices before taking the final vows to become a knight in his own right. To say that Squire Bardon is looking forward to this sabbatical would be an understatement. His doubts and fears about his own abilities, as well as his discomfort in the presence of people, makes him doubt he should take up the title of “Sir Bardon”. But Bardon is not to have his respite. He arrives at the retreat to which Dar has assigned him, to find a group of women who need his help in rescuing knights that were imprisoned by a wicked spell nearly two decades earlier. He is not happy, to say the least. He reluctantly takes up the quest, in the hopes that the long-missing father of his friend, Wizard Kale Allerion, may, in fact, be one of the knights trapped under the incantation cast by the evil wizards. As I said, the story was unique in that Bardon had a large point-of-view narrative this time. This exposed the reader more to the doubts, insecurities, fears, triumphs, and so on, of another character than just Kale. It also allowed for a more “masculine”, point of view. One that isn't as hesitant to use force as Kale was. Arguably, this is a bad thing as Bardon is a tad too eager to engage in fighting, but it still was a novelty, and a nice change overall. The only problem with this was the Paul's constant moralizing became obvious as just that. In the previous book that introduced his character, Bardon had faults for certain, but they weren't as glaring. True, we see his faults more from his point of view, but the examination of his faults in light of the principles of Wulder (the Biblical God expy) seemed a tad heavy-handed. In DragonKnight, it seemed to be open season on the young squire. It appears obvious that Paul is, at times, more concerned with preaching to the reader, using the POV character as an audience surrogate, than she is with telling an actual story. And it is thoroughly annoying to read. The issue is that it isn't the moral lessons, per se, that bothered me, but how they were put forth. Just as many lessons were put forth in the other series, The Chiril Chronicles, but in a far less clumsy manner. The author learned lessons in between writing the two series that enabled her to improve her craft, and it made the latter books more enjoyable, and thus the moral lessons and asides of greater moral benefit, than these earlier written works. Yet, despite this obvious flaw, and the flaw of Bardon having a morally problematic anticipation and eagerness to fight, the story was extremely enjoyable. A fine work, if somewhat cringe-worthy at points. I would only repeat what I have said in an earlier review, not as a criticism, but as a caution, that Paul does, indeed, have a vivid imagination. This certainly shows in some very twisted and frightening enemies and scenes in this book, designed to show the reality of pure evil and sin in our world, and in all of us without Christ. Younger readers should not read it.Highly Recommended.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5First of all, before you read this book, I would recommend you read the first two in this series- 'DragonSpell', and 'DragonQuest'. I own this whole series, but I would have to say that this segment, though I enjoyed it, would have to be my least favorite. After the author establishes a strong heroine- Kale, in DragonKnight's predecessors, she takes the tactic of switching the point of view to Bardon- a side character from 'DragonQuest'. This route at times does work, but in my opinion, not often, and the book has to be exceptional to pull it off. I found Bardon to be a bit dry, complaining, and a full of self-pity. Though I did like the book, it was harder to keep my mind focused on the plot because of Bardon's annoying personality. Kale doesn't show up till the last few chapters, which I found disappointing. However, Bardon's character is strengthened as he goes on a unique journey that deeply refines him as into he really is- a kind, loyal, and caring person. The story has its magical moments, and characters are introduced that appear later on in the series. Just be prepared for a different hero, and enjoy the book!
