![]() 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. Paul continues her very popular Christian fantasy series, The Dragonkeeper Chronicles, with the third book in the series, DragonKnight. If you're seeking solid Christian fantasy, look at Paul's books.ĭonita K. And, indeed, readers of all ages will enjoy these faith-filled tomes. Paul is in the same category as Chuck Black, meaning her books are safe for readers of all ages. There is a reason why Paul was a forerunner and figurehead of and for the current Christian fantasy.ĭonita K. Dragonknight and The Dragonkeeper Chronicles were, indeed, light amidst darkness. Seven years later, that reader is no longer a teen, yet still immensely enjoys the story and the series it belongs to. Included in the scant selection was a book bearing a dragon and sword on the cover. Seven years ago, a young teen wandered into the library in search of Christian fiction. ![]() There are kidnappings, contrary gateways, fell creatures like quiss and their sickening method of destruction, and general cuts and bruises and battles. Nothing is gratuitous, even though characters are injured. Paul also addresses the value of life and the importance of following and memorizing the Bible. With a firm declaration that there is one God, Paul reminds the reader that "through Him all things were created". I always admire authors who are unafraid of incorporating their faith into their books. The myriad of other secondary characters were well-done too. Who wouldn't love a dragon with snark? (Don't tell him I said that.he might not appreciate it.) I like Kale, but she doesn't hold a candle to this well-intentioned squire who is averse to people and allergic to commotion. Like I said earlier, Bardon is, without doubt, my favorite. Paul is a master of helping the reader know where they "are" without infodumping. Except the grawlig and quiss interactions. The reader is swept up in a whirlwind (or gateway? ) ) of chaos and adventure that makes them long to actually be transported into the book's word and experience the adventure with the characters. The book ends on a rather bittersweet note, one that made me tear up during this latest round of reading even though I've read this book at least five times. Typical to Paul's writing, there is plenty of humor mixed in, as well as some valuable lessons. Instead, it gently eases the reader into a wild quest filled with danger, excitement, and faith. Even more so now that I own this excellent book.ĭragonknight doesn't begin with a bang, so to speak. So I was ecstatic, very ecstatic, when I learned he received his own story. A little out of it sometimes, a good heart tucked beneath a wary and tired exterior, and slightly stuck-up at times. I am going to preface this with the disclaimer that Bardon has always been my favorite character. How can they find the help they need, and overcome even graver obstacles, to rescue the knights? But the knights cannot be awakened, and the journal holding the secret to rousing them is in an unknown language. When they unlock the chamber, they discover a dozen knights. ![]() The band travels north, uncertain of their destination and encountering numerous perils. When Bardon learns that more of Paladin’s knights are imprisoned within the chamber, he suspects one of them is Dragon Keeper Kale’ s missing father. His life is suddenly complicated by a woman and her granddaughter, N’Rae, who are on a mission to rescue the woman’s son trapped in a chamber of sleep. Trapped in an evil spell… can the knights of Paladin be rescued?īefore vowing his allegiance to Wulder as a knight, Bardon heads to the mountains for solitude. ![]() Return to the land of dragons and magic you discovered in Dragonspell and DragonQuest, in this finely crafted and memorable work of fantasy fiction with a core of eternal truth.
