The Dragon King (Abridged) Audiobook

" This is my all time favorite Fantasy Saga!!! "

" Pretty good, though the story is a little slow. "

" Good read, quick and interesting take on the genre. Good for series for exploring the tension between Christian allegorical themes and Paganism in fantasy literature. "

" Very slow start, good finish. Great story teller that sets up characters very well. Be advised, this book has quite a bit about ruling families and their history. "

" the series starts off good, but by book 5 or so she just has too much plot to keep up with. "

" King's Dragon is a well-written fantasy novel that is the beginning of a seven volume series. Kate Elliott is able to balance characterization with a solid plot and richly detailed world-building. Very recommended. "

" First fantasy novel I read - trying to impress my then boyfriend (must have worked cuz he married me, haha) - I've read better ones since but it was my first so it has a special place in my heart! "

" An entertaining multiple 1st person narrative book, with twists and turns and emotional highs and lows. This made me immediately get the second book in the series so I could discover what would happen next. "

" I LOVED this series! What a rich, compelling world Elliott creates. I really got involved with the characters and found the plot exciting and taut. Highly recommended. "

" Started with a fantastic bang ....... "

" Some quite good concepts, but overall relatively dry and overlong. I failed to identify, or in fact sympathise with any of the characters. Perhaps book 2 will accelerate the pace. Fundamentally, almost 600 pages that could have been better treated in 200. "

" Just finished the last 400+ pages of King's Dragon in 3 days and eager for no. 2! Good storyline, the action is great (just a little improvement in the description) and the interplay with the dogs, like in Watchers, is wonderful. "

" It took a while to get into but turned into a page turner. "

" Unfortunately this last volume does not live up to the first few books in the series. As if Ms. Elliott just wanted to get it done and over with. "

" one of the best books i have ever read "

" It was all right. I kind of had to force myself to finish it. There is potential, but the book never really gripped me. "

" This is really engaging high fantasy. Lots of characterization and world building from the very start. No infodumps. Just good, solid fantasy, complete with doomed loves and huge batttles. "

" I liked this book. It was entertaining and I enjoy the twist on medival history. It has engaging characters and plot. "
