  <default-description>Lanen Kaelar has dreamed of dragons all her life. But not just dreaming, for Lanen believes in dragons. Her family mocks her that dragons are just a silly myth. A legend. But Lanen knows better. And she means to prove it. One day she sets out on a dangerous voyage to the remote West to find the land of the True Dragons. What she discovers is a land of real dragons more beautiful-and surprising-than any dream she could have imagined.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[There are a lot of dragon stories out there; tons of fantasy and sci-fi fiction about people and dragons, magic, sorcerers, demons, quests.  It's pretty basic.  But this novel stood out, maybe because I hadn't heard about it before or since I read it.  And I really, really liked it.<br/><br/>Lanen...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/55416313">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A good and original fantasy story that begins a trilogy I really enjoyed. The best thing about all the books is all the strong dragon characters... There just are not enough well-written fantasies out there with great dragon characters that can stand on their own without a &quot;rider&quot; or somet...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/10503899">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Ye gods, I loved ths book.  Like most of the books I read five or more years ago, it's less amazingly awesome in retrospect, but I loved reading it SO MUCH that I cannot and will not retract my rating. The writing is weak in places, but my it was enough to inspire a years-long quest for the sequels.<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/14038264">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a book with great characters. It had great detail into how the world worked like what the charater used and bought. The dragons personalitys are also fantasticly created. The only problem i had with the story is that it took FOREVER to actually get to where i couldnt put it down.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[first half of book is rather slow, though provides background information, is rather eventless. later, as the plot develops, it becomes exciting. overall the story is pretty good. some imagery is pretty nice, i like the musical aspect of the work.]]></body>
