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!!!

The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind: Wizard's First Rule

Ok, so I started reading The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind maybe three weeks ago. The first book, Wizard's First Rule, was 573 pages long in the large edition print. I didn't realize it was the first book in a series when I purchased it until later... I read it as a stand alone book not realizing til maybe a week after I finished it that there were many more books in the series. I was excited and annoyed at the same time. I love to read, so when I find a series of books I get excited because it's like a promise of the story to continue longer than usual. Yet, I have come to dread series as well because I read so fast and must have the next book as soon as I'm finished with the one in my hands that my wallet cries everytime I find a new book series. ( I buy my books and keep them to reread later) Well, anyways... Wizard's First Rule was wonderful. It took me 3 days to read. I fell in love with all the characters so quickly. It reminded me some of The Belgariad and The Malloreon by David Eddings...I'll talk about those books in later blogs... Anyways, Richard is a great hero in this tale and you quickly see how he can love Kahlan. Zedd makes a marvalous "all knowing" grandfather figure *wink*wink*. The book flew by before my eyes and I have the gift of being able to see these words in my mind almost as a movie playing before me. Though quite nerve wracking at some points, it was a breathless exilerating journey around Midlands and into the People's Palace. (which btw I love that it's called the People's Palace. In a way, if felt almost like it was my home too. After Richard of course clears it of it's evil...*listens for Zedd's fire and order to walk not run and rethinks that statement* LOL Anyways, if you haven't read this series, I would recommend it so far. It's a great epic fantasy tale. If you have read it. Please leave comments and tell me what you thought about the book. I have finished w/ the 2nd book already last night and started the third today. I will post seperate posts for them. :)
