Have to admit When Kelly my fiancee said i'd enjoy this book she wasn't wrong, it was fast paced, and plenty of twists and turns. I would recommend those of you saying maybe one day i'll read it. Make that day today to start reading it.....

I only bought this book because it was offered for a very low price on the Kindle. It is self-published, so I had no expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's not earth-shatteringly brilliant, nor is it great literature, but as fantasy goes, it's very readable. Unlike most Kindle books, it's extremely well proof-read, with no typos that I could spot.
The story: the dragon stones of the title, which give the dragons their power, are being systematically stolen for purposes unknown. An assorted group of characters - an innkeeper, a mercenary, an oracle and a dragon - are drawn together by events, and struggle to find out what is happening and why.
The dragon is the most interesting of the bunch. She is determined to take revenge on the men who killed her hatchlings, and as she can assume a more-or-less human form, and is not exactly a team player, much of the entertainment value lies in her over-the-top dealings with the world of men.
The ending is satisfyingly positive, but with some unexpected twists which ensure that the book rises above the mediocre level of most of this type.

A solid and consistent book, characters with substance who neatly fit in a well drawn plot filled with surprises.
The dragon T'Sian is pretty good, how she is led to paths and compromises she did not expect, yet keeps her pride until the end and acts upon it.
She also has a tragic dimension, as the story begins with her hatchlings slaughtered. There. She lost everything, and the only thing left to her is revenge, which is a dead end. Revenge not only never brings back anyone, it also ends up destroying its own drive, leaving nothing but a cruel void.

This book was a great read. The characters were well developed and I loved following all of their journeys. I don't often read fantasy, but I would highly recommend reading this one!

Really liked the pacing and main characters. An original take on the dragon theme, with some well thought out twists.
The length was good at 388 pages, and easy to read in chapters.
