GaladrielTwo

Adventures are funny things They always begin with the unexpected, but they always end with the promise of adventures yet to come” ~The Final Storm All books and series must come to an end, and the Door Within is no exception. But what will the future hold? Will Robbie succumb to Pargor’s promises of power? And will Antoinette and Aidan remain true to their king in the face of death? The ending is amazingly powerful.

Door Within 01
by
Wayne Thomas Batson
GaladrielTwo
, October 05, 2008
This fantasy tale is amazing. I loved reading about Aidan’s adventures in The Realm. The characters are realistic and the plot line creative. Instead of just swords, it’s more of a spiritual battle for the hearts of people.

As interfinity approaches, the stakes get higher for Nathan, Kelly, Daryl and Francesca. Can they trust Patar? Will they discover the secrets of Sarah’s Womb? This book kept me laughing and crying all the way through.

Dragonspell
by
Donita Paul
GaladrielTwo
, September 13, 2008
Kale, the village slave for River Away, is nobody special—or so she believes. After discovering a minor dragon egg, the village elders send her to The Hall for training. But Paladin’s servants send her on a different quest: to recover the meech egg Wizard Risto stole from Wizard Fenworth. One of the best aspects of this book was how the sentient races differ from the traditional elves, dwarves, etc. The doneels and kimens are particularly original.

Kale is now a servant at The Hall. But after less then two weeks, she is sent off to help Wizard Fenworth deal with his meech dragon. On the way, she also gets tangled up with a doneel orphan and two women claiming to be her mother. This book is a delightful fantasy for families to enjoy together.

Dragonfire

, September 13, 2008
The powerful knight Paladin, who connects Amara with Wulder, is seriously ill. Now married, Brendon and Kale search for meech dragons Regidor and Gilda. Will they reach their friends in time? This was my favorite book of the series so far. I really enjoyed how the author made Paladin real and yet kept him symbolic.

Door Within 02 Rise Of The Wyrm Lord
by
Wayne Thomas Batson
GaladrielTwo
, September 02, 2008
Even though this is the second book of a series, I found it easy to understand. Like Narnia, it focuses on another world that is linked to our own. Instead of talking animals, The Realm is populated with Glimpses, each of whom mirrors someone in our own world. More than just the typical sword-and-helm fantasy, Rise of the Wyrm Lord weaves spiritual warfare and realistic characters into its enthralling tale.

Wilderking Trilogy 01 The Bark of the Bog Owl
by
Jonathan Rogers
GaladrielTwo
, September 02, 2008
Fantasy=dragons, wizards, and talking animals, right? Wrong! In The Bark of the Bog Owl, readers are introduced to the country of Corenwald, a land of swamps, gators, and feechiefolk. Aidan, the main character, will appeal to anyone who loves exploring unknown lands, fighting imaginary foes, and getting dirty. It is a rare fantasy book that can interest people who would rather be outside. This is that sort of book.

Ryann Watters & The Kings Sword
by
Eric Reinhold
GaladrielTwo
, September 02, 2008
This fast-paced story is a great way to introduce fantasy to young readers. The author firmly grounds his tale in the real-life town of Mount Dora before his characters enter the fantasy realm of Aeliana. Talking animals, brilliant colors, and supernatural visitors will delight even the most reluctant readers.

All My Holy Mountain
by
Lowell B. Graham
GaladrielTwo
, September 02, 2008
After over a year of waiting, I finally was able to read the final installment of the Binding of the Blade saga. All the frustration, aggravation, and waiting was worth it. Every death, every sacrifice, every struggle, built toward the climatic finish when Malek was defeated once and for all. If you just couldnât stand the thought of another tragic ending, hold on. Itâs all worth it in the end.

Father of Dragons
by
Lowell B. Graham
GaladrielTwo
, August 26, 2008
The lonely hero is about to die. The army is facing annihilation. And far off, wings of hope sped to the rescue. Can they get there in time? Is this a scene from Return of the Kingâor the ending of Father of Dragons? The fourth of five books in the series, Father of Dragons ends with a monstrous cliffhanger. But the book is more than just a buildup to All My Holy Mountain. With new characters introduced and old friends brought back, this book increases the stakes in the war for Kirthanin. As I finished it, I felt a strange excitement, a longing for the day when all things shall be made new.

Shadow in the Deep
by
Lowell B. Graham
GaladrielTwo
, August 26, 2008
After the fall of Valzaan on the beach of Col Marena, the army flees Wethanin by ship, hoping to find aid in Suthanin. But Aljeron must follow a different path. Bound by a promise to Valzaan, he sets off on a quest across the wilds of Nolthanin in hope of awaking the legendary Sulmandir, Father of Dragons. But the cold and beasts arenât his only enemies. Synoki, the secretive castaway from the first book, shows up with a friend who claims to have traveled in Nolthanin before. Can they be trusted? While traveling, Benjaih is invited to the Tarlindraal, where he receives a vision from Allfather calling for the union of four great peoples. Who are they, and can the army hold out until then? Readers of the first two books may be expecting a dramatic ending, but Graham raises the bar by having TWO shocking cliffhangers. Who is the man in the golden cloak? And what will happen as the army crosses the Kalamin?

Bringer of Storms
by
Lowell B. Graham
GaladrielTwo
, August 26, 2008
Although this book opens seventeen years after Beyond the Summerland, the author manages to naturally weave in an outline of the interlude. For seven years Aljeron has led the men of Shalin Bel against the city of Fel Edorath in hopes of bringing Rulalin to justice. But unforeseen events reverse the tables. Malek, about to launch his third and final attack on Kirthanin, offers Rulalin a position in his army. Will Rulalin abandon his beliefs and accept? Meanwhile, Valzaan rides to Ammon Sul with shocking news. How will Wylla react when she learns her son, like his father, has been appointed a prophet? Can she let him go into the face of danger with no certainty of surviving? The conclusion follows its predecessor in hitting readers with an unforeseen ending. I was shocked, yet couldnât resist opening the next one. These books have a way of gripping you even as you canât stand some of the plot twists. In a way, thatâs part of their power.

Binding of the Blade 01 Beyond The Summerland
by
L B Graham
GaladrielTwo
, August 26, 2008
This book starts off as a rather normal fantasy, complete with the "average young man who discovers heâs got a destiny" main character. But the author skillfully builds the story into a gripping fantasy with a touch of romance. Joraiemâs struggles are believable and relatable for fantasy fans of both genders. Tense battle scenes are balanced with emotional struggles. The only problem for first time readers is the shocking plot twist at the end. Those who preserve through the entire series will come to understand it, even if they never are satisfied with the ending. My only other recommendation is to check the entire series out at one go. Once you read the first one, you wonât be able to sleep until everything is resolved in the fifth book.

Oracles of Fire 03 Last Of The Nephilim
by
Bryan Davis
GaladrielTwo
, July 03, 2008
A talking dagger? Bones as instruments of rebirth? Flying a plane into a dimensional portal? Yes, Bryan Davis is at it again. Picking up where Enoch’s Ghost left off, Last of the Nephilim effortless weaves old friends and new characters into a gripping tale of betrayal, trust, justice, mercy, friendship, enemies and more. Surprises and prophecies emerge at every turn as Second Eden is threatened by evil. Readers of the previous books will be amazed at how Davis finally answers the question about Bonnie’s wings without revealing her choice from Tears of a Dragon.

Beyond The Reflections Edge Echoes From
by
Bryan Davis
GaladrielTwo
, May 17, 2008
I had the great privilege of pre-reading this book. I don’t want to spoil the surprise, so I will only say that after being enthralled by the world Bryan Davis created in Dragons in Our Midst and expanded upon in Oracles of Fire, I eagerly anticipated his new series, Echoes from the Edge. The characters, like those in his first two series, are realistic, relatable teens that readers of all ages can identify with. I see echoes of myself in Daryl, who constently alludes to and quotes from such favorite fantasies as Lord of the Rings and Narnia, as well as The Wizard of Oz. My good intentions to read only a chapter of Beyond the Reflection's Edge daily evaporated. I read the whole book in less than four hours. The first chapter contained more emotion and action than some books ever reach. From there, the story builds in depth and action to an extraordinary conclusion. Unlike some books, Beyond the Reflection's Edge yields more excitement with each re-reading. I can't wait for the next installment! I highly recommend this books for fans of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Binding of the Blade, and any other faith-based fantasy. This book is not a cliche, and has an extremely original plot line and characters.

Oracles Of Fire 02 Enochs Ghost
by
Bryan Davis
GaladrielTwo
, May 17, 2008
As evil forces seek to merge heaven and earth, the former dragons and their allies seek to stop them. Events build to a climax in three different worlds, with an unexpected, heartrending conclusion. My personal favorite of all Davis’ books. You'll need a box or two of tissues!

Oracles Of Fire 01 Eye Of The Oracle
by
Bryan Davis
GaladrielTwo
, May 17, 2008
This book is great for both newcomers and old fans. If DioM was a movie, Eye of the Oracle would be the behind-the-scenes documentary. It’s great for all those wishing to know more about such characters as Merlin, Morgan, King Arthur, Palin and all the dragons, as well as introducing wonderful new characters. You’ll get a whole new perspective on the original books.

Dragons In Our Midst 04 Tears Of A Dragon
by
Davis, Bryan
GaladrielTwo
, May 17, 2008
After the release of hundreds of Watchers from Hades, the remaining nine dragons prepare for war against overwhelming odds. But when Billy and Bonnie enter Dragon’s Rest in search of Billy’s father, tragedy strikes. Even when the battle’s over, dragons and anthrozils face the toughest choice of their lives. Remain dragons, or become fully human? This ending made me cry. I really enjoyed the whole series and was sad to see it draw to a close. But the adventures continue with Oracles of Fire

Dragons In Our Midst 03 Circles Of Seven
by
Davis, Bryan
GaladrielTwo
, May 17, 2008
Bonnie and Billy are sent into the Circles of Seven to rescue prisoners. But in a land of deceit and temptation, whom can they trust? From an abandoned town to an island castle to a deep chasm, this story is a feast for the imagination and emotions. The climatic battle is better than any movie because of the realistic characters whom you can identify with. This book contains elements from Arthurian legend, Dante's Inferno, and even bits of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. A great story that can be used to introduce others--I actually read Dante's Inferno because of this book.

Dragons In Our Midst 02 Candlestone
by
Davis, Bryan
GaladrielTwo
, May 17, 2008
Billy and Bonnie are resting after the action in Raising Dragons when the return of Bonnie’s father signals the beginning of a new adventure. Can Bonnie trust the man who betrayed her mother to the slayers? The amazing scientific process of translumination creates a vibrant world inside a light-absorbing gem known as the candlestone. Want to know more? Enter The Candlestone and explore a world of danger, mystery, and sacrifice. I liked how this book emphasized faith, trust and truth. It contains a nice blend of emotions, humor and action.

Dragons In Our Midst 01 Raising Dragons
by
Bryan Davis
GaladrielTwo
, May 17, 2008
Billy Banister is a typical teenage boy; trading tall tales with friends, occasionally late to class… and breathing fire. When Billy’s breath sets off the fire alarm in the restroom, his dad must tell him the truth about his past. This incident sparks a wild adventure full of unknown dangers. Together with the new girl Bonnie Silver, Billy is caught up in a centuries old danger. But how is his principal involved? And what is Bonnie hiding in her backpack? Read this book, the first installment of the Dragons in Our Midst quartet, and find out! I loved how this book blended dragons, King Arthur and modern-day life. It made it seem like adventure may be just around the corner!
