This is a good book overall. I like the way that Ms. Rawn gives you an overview of the characters. I became attached to the characters since the beginning of this book. I don't however like the way that she skips what happens in 6 years or how Ms. Rawn doesn't focus on the dragons very much. This is a good fantasy book, I think there is a little realism to this. it is a people book and good overall. There are just a couple of things that i would change if i was her but other than this is very good and pretty well writen. You can see what's happening as if it's happening right in front of you. I enjoyed this book and plan to finish the series

I have to say that this is the finest fantasy series I have ever read. The characters, the world they live in and everything about the books are very well developed and the writting is so detailed you can see, smell, taste and feel everything Melanie Rawn describes in them. The plot is complex and interesting, yet easy to follow, and my only complaint about the series is that there were only six books. I hope to see more in the series in the future!

The characters are realistic- you love some, hate others, and share their emotions. You can actually cry at some points.

I first happened on Melanie Rawn books about 10 years ago, attracted to the covers of course. I have not put them down since. I've searched far and wide for everything with her name on it. I've even started an eGroup for her.Her characters and plots are incomparible, her sense of humour is fantastic. I've caught myself laughing out loud and bawling my head off when reading her books. You can actually picture the characters in your mind, become them, and feel their emotions, she explains them so well.If you read no other book in your life, read this one...I have...about 10 times!Happy readingDallas Dale

I like reading the Dragon Prince series. It's not as bad as some commented earlier but it was not as "excellent" as others thought. The series doesn't deal with just one hero. I've noticed that many sci/fantasy books deals with one hero that saves the whole world or a group. Each having a specialty that save their race or the world. I like the way Rawn doesn't make just one hero.

This makes the third book in a week I started and could not finish. Now, I hate not finishing books, and this recent spell is not a commont on me, but on my choice of reading material.Basically, this is boring and repative and nothing is left for the reader to learn on their own. The author writes as if for a six year old child who needs everything, even the stated emotions of the characters, explained to them. And the characters have no personality among them and act weirdly in ways I can only assume the author thinks reader should see as leadership or something like that. Even though everyone doubts him, the second the main character becomes a prince every action he takes is perfect and wise! All women are desirable and perfectly suited to their husbands! You can see where I'm going. This book just is not worth reading to me.I give up. Two stars.
