The Dragon's Son

The Second Book of the Dragonvarld Trilogy

By: Margaret Weis

Narrated by: Stefan Rudnicki, Gabrielle de Cuir

In Mistress of Dragons, we were introduced to a world where political deception and greed have led to a violation of the "hands off" policy of the Parliament of Dragons concerning the affairs of men. Indeed that violation threatens more than policy and order, it threatens the freedom of the human race.

In The Dragon's Son, there is new hope in the form of a special offspring who might be able to bridge the anarchy that is disrupting the delicate and unseen order that the Parliament has tried to protect. The twin offspring of a high priestess and a dragon hold the key to man's future, but their identity must be held secret, even from each other, until they have matured. One is raised in a human court, the other in hiding. But the link that exists between the twins will not be broken by mere distance, and the duality of their origin will unlock the new hope for a return to peace and safety as long as they live to maturity. It is up to Draconas, the special emissary of the Parliament, to make it happen for the sake of both Dragonkind and mankind alike, despite the evil forces that are still gaining strength around them.

Critic reviews

"Spellbinding magic." (Publishers Weekly)

Great Second Book

Great continuation of the series. The Entire series is one to listen to.

Great Tilogy

I enjoy Margaret Weis books, this series was very good. This book was better than the first, which I read in paper-back. It wanted me to continue to the final of the series.

The problems with a sequal

This sequel constantly repeats stuff that you knew from the previous book.
This gets so monotonous you have to fast forward.
The book doesn?t really get started till chapter 12 (4 hours)
The fight scenes where not as good as the first
Only introduced three new characters. I finished the book mystified about the characters motives for their bizarre actions. The end is cut short forcing the reader to read the final book to make sense of it.

Great follow up to Mistress of Dragons

I was so capitvated by this trilogy that I sat in my car for 30 mins to listen to the end of the book. There are so many twists and turns in this story, that when I thought I had figured out who was behind it all, I was shocked at the ending - I couldn't wait for the next part. I just downloaded the final book Master of Dragons and look forward to the end of the story. If you like a good thriller, and fantasy - this is the series for you. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Solid Good Fantasy

In the literary realm, this book is not great fiction. But in general Margaret Weis delivers an interesting story with good characters and does what she tends to do best: makes the reader want the happy/neat ending but deliciously disappoints by not delivering one. If you are an avid fantasy reader, this book is great fun and is a wonderful reprieve from more linear transparent fantasy storyline.

The Dragon's Son (Unabridged)

Very good read. Good follow-up to Mistress of Dragons. Looking forward to the next one in the series.

Good

Any additional comments?

I liked the change of pace in this book. It didn't make it better than the last (I four stared that one as well), but it is nice to have the situations change. One thing I can't stand is regurgitation of previous books. Again, though, a little too much drama for my liking, but over all, good read.

Good Book

I liked the second intstallment in this series, it was well written and did not go the way that I had expected it to go. I can't wait for the next book to come out I just hope it does not take to long to be released.

good book

I loved the books ( all three ) Not for the novice but not too hard to comprehend.the only down-fall with this book is that there ar two diferent readers one male one female and I found that very anoying. other than that the story was very good.

First book was amazing; this one is better

L O V E D I T...

LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT BOOK
