DragonLight by Donita K. Paul


I finally got time to read this wonderful addition to the DragonKeeper chronicles. Donita Paul gives us a heart warming ending? to this wonderful series of books. Though I know she plans to write more in the series but with a new cast of characters in a different time and location. Amara has put aside their ignorance of evil and are trying to piece their lives back together in the eyes of Wulder. Bardon and Kale set off on a new adventure, one first only intended to be like a vacation. I was so happy to see Gilda find truth. Her ugly soul made me dislike her through out the all the books since she first took flight. Then I was happy to see her make the change for good. I was happy to find out Toopka's mysteries. Was happy to see Kale's little Penn make an appearance and joined later by 2 more in the epilogue. :) Over all, I loved this book. Can't say it was my favorite, but only because it had the feeling of "the end" to it. I hate to see good stories end. But that is life and new life will unfold that will bring us great joy and happiness through Donita Paul's newest works of art. At 377 pages long it took me about two days to read this book. I was sad when it came to an end. 5/5 stars!!! I love God and I thank him for putting Donita K. Paul on this earth and bringing her wonderful stories into my own personal library. Thank you God. Thank you Donita. :)

DragonFire by Donita K. Paul


This is the 4th book in this series by Donita K. Paul. This one takes place again, 3 years into the future from the ending of the last book. Kale and Bardon are now married. The book doesn't hesitate to throw us right into the action and adventure from the first page. Kale and Bardon end up on seperate missions, finding out how much they really rely on and miss each other. They both go through extreme trials of mind, body and soul. So many battles take place as three evil forces battle to take over Amara. Will Wulder and Paladin be able to help them win? You'll have to read to find out. Amazing, amazing, amazing. I'll definately re-read this one in the future. At 346 pages long it took me about two days to read this book. Donita Paul has perfected her writing style in this series by this book and you just fly through it, page to page, longing never to put it down. My favorite of all the books in this series! A must read! 5/5 Stars!!!

DragonKnight by Donita K. Paul


The adventure continues with Kale and Bardon. I was at first disappointed that the book started out with only Bardon's point of view. I had not quite liked him enough after the last book to want to read from his point of view. But wanting to know what happens to Kale kept me reading. I was pleasantly surprised with I found out there was a Part Two further into the book which switches to Kale's point of view. Though you eventually realize that their points of view start to mix and become one as the story proceeds. This story starts three years after the last book ended. Bardon wants to become a knight, but he had found the social part of the role to be daughting for him. He is mostly a solitude person, enjoying time alone or with very few. With a decision to take time for solitude and sort himself out and have time with Wulder to figure out what Wulder's plan for him really is. Bardon's sabbatical doesn't last long. It is the start of another adventure, one that leads to new friends, new enemies and new realizations. This is the best of the books in this series I have read yet. :) Must read!!! 5/5 Stars!!!!

DragonQuest by Donita K. Paul


The 2nd book in this wonderful series by Donita K. Paul. We continue on more adventures with Kale, the slave girl from the first book. Kale is supposed to be training at The Hall to serve Paladin and Wulder, but her plans change. She must go to be with Wizard Fenworth to start her apprenticeship with him as well as other duties she must take charge of. Forced to take a young man along, whom she doesn't like, Kale is left wondering what Wulder's plan for her really is. We get to meet new lovable characters in this story as well as ones we don't find as lovable at first, but learn to love. Quite a fun journey this leads to. A great read! At 349 pages long it took me about two days to read this book. I highly recommend reading this one after you have read the first! 5/5 Stars!!!

Dragon Spell by Donita K. Paul


Looking for a new book to read, I found myself in the Religion section at Border's. They have a great selection of Christian fiction there. I saw this interesting looking book, Dragon Spell. This is a Christian based fantasy novel. The first in a series of 5, there may be more to come? At 334 pages long, it took me about two days to read. This is a story about a young slave girl, in the world of Amara, who finds herself unexpectedly on an exciting adventure. This quest surrounds Kale with many sticky situations. Yet, their God, Wulder is in everything they do and always manages to help them out. This story highly reflects that their Wulder is very much like our God here in real life. The story takes us through spiritual enlightenment as well as a fantasy story. Well told, with wonderful characters, enchanting lands and an amazing God like ours. This book is a must read! 5/5 Stars!!!
