Narrative Supposing Books Sunrunner's Fire (Dragon Prince #3)

It took me a while to get into this, because I’m terrible at keeping up with series, and it has been a while since I read the previous Dragon Prince book. But, kudos to Melanie Rawn for creating such a memorable world and characters, because by the first couple of chapters I’d gotten my footing and could read the story without looking up who everyone was. (Thank goodness for character directories in fantasy novels!)

Overall, I really enjoyed this series as a whole. The world is wonderful and I love how Rawn is able to create such different, vibrant characters. There are dozens of strong, independent women who are able to hold their own even in this brutal society, and in this book, she introduces a female character who isn’t so strong-willed, which was a nice change of pace, and I like that we got to see that someone can be strong and brave without being stubborn and physically or mentally powerful.

My favorite part of this is the tension between Andry and his family. It’s masterfully grey, where his family supports him as a person, but doesn’t necessarily agree with his tactics as Lord of Goddess Keep. For me, this is the most interesting dynamic within the whole story, especially when you throw in his relationship with Pol. I’m interested in seeing this further developed in the sequel series.

I do think that this book suffers a bit from not having high enough stakes. The drama is there, but the danger isn’t, since the characters are overly smart and powerful, there really isn’t much of a question of how everything is going to turn out. It’s exciting and interesting, but there isn’t as much tension as there could be. It’s also a bit tough to keep up with things since there are huge year jumps. I appreciate not being walked through every boring thing, but I wish there were more of a transition so the reader can get a feel of the time passing.

Overall, this is a decent fantasy. Wonderful characters, beautifully crafted world, and a plot that works and provides enough excitement to be entertained. I am planning to eventually read the sequel series and hope it only gets better!

Judgment Appertaining To Books Sunrunner's Fire (Dragon Prince #3)

I will admit this is a biased review, having loved these books for going on 15 years now. The complexity of the world, the magic, the politics and the people that Mel built in this series have always been its strength and remain so through any foibles.Things that jumped out at me in this re-read more than I remembered from the past:*The fat-hating. DUDE, author issues or what? As I commented in a previous status update, the completed OOC incident of Tallain ordering Sionell to stop eating so

Ah, so good. I forgot that this ends on sort of a cliffhanger though. Guess I will have to reread the others as well. :)

A good end to a good trilogy, but not quite the resolution one would hope for. First, Andry can get fucked. His character in this book versus what we saw of him in the first half of the second book is so vastly different, you may find yourself wondering how he turned out so effed up. The answer lies in the fact that this book doesn't really wrap up much of anything. I get the distinct impression that the 3rd book was always meant to kick start the next trilogy. I have 3 major issues with this

This book is the third in the Dragon Prince Saga again it starts out to be a very politically oriented story line but turns into a great saga. The story keep your attention and takes you into a world of High Princes and Sunrunner Magick. It is a good read for any dragon and fantacy lover.

By far the strongest of the series. The opening was inspired, with about 9 chapters taking place over 9 years, so we got snapshots in time and the point of view of many different characters, as well as their thoughts. When the last year was complete I was dreading that the bulk of the action was going to be taking place in a Rialla year. After the last book, where all the action took place at the Rialla, I am done with that event forever. It thankfully never came to that.The dragons are pretty
