Publisher Description

From Margaret Weis, The New York Times bestselling co-author of the Dragonlance, Dark Sword, and Deathgate series, comes her first solo fantasy novel set in an all-new, sure-to-be-bestselling world, the Dragonvald. Mistress of Dragons, Book 1 of The Dragonvald Trilogy is a tale of world-building, magic, and political intrigue where the uneasy balance of power between dragons and humans is about to become undone. For ages dragons have interfered in the ways of humans, their wrath held at bay by the Amazonian order of priestesses and their mysterious Mistress of Dragons. But now the order has come undone, violated by men, and a mad scramble of intrigue, magic, and lineage ensues . . . revealing the dark secret behind the arcane Parliament of Dragons.

"After some urging from my husband, I finally began this series. The plot itself was simple but the world and characters were so rich and complex that I was enthralled until the last page! I read all 381 pgs. in 1 1/2 days: happily neglecting all the important things I should have been doing."

    " Let me say I have read many books by Weis and Hickman and in general they are great Fantasy. When I first started reading this one I thought it rather objectionable and almost put it down, but then I found she had a point to the strange construct of the initial human population portrayed and it went with the rest of the story. I read the entire series and in general it is pretty good. It is an interesting concept she developed and we do eventually feel for the characters that develop. The GR rating for the series of 3.5 is about right. "

    " A great introduction to the world of Seth. The polotics and deception throughout this novel are amazing. Margaret Weis hit yet another homerun. "

    " Good read! Right from the beginning I was pulled in. The created world was solid and well thought out, with enough little differences to be stand alone. Very well developed characters and engaging story from cover to cover. "

    " I liked the concept of this book, where the dragons are the main characters rather than just big evil antagonists. I feel like the last few chapters of the book were a bit disappointing. I'm not sure why, but it just felt like I didn't get back what I put into it. "

    " Loved the portrayal of the dragons, but could not find myself caring much for the human characters. The king was particularly two-dimensional for my tastes. "

    " MW is a great storyteller! This book flows so smoothly and was hard to put down. It was the first novel I read of hers that was outside the Dragonlance world and, while I wasn't sure what to expect, couldn't wait for the next one. "

    " I was pretty impressed by this book, but I was a little frustrated at first because the beginning heavily hints at past events you don't learn anything about until half way through. Despite that, it was a worthwhile read. "
