Author: Melanie Rawn
I LOVE these books! Buy all six at once, because you won't want to leave the house after you start reading the first one. Melanie Rawn has created an entirely different world in these books, and her writing will transport you there.
The books of course, see titles, feature dragons, and the depiction of the dragons is believable. In other words, the actions of the dragons seem realistic and not just there for some effect. But where the writing truly shines is in her gradual development of a cast of characters that you end up having strong feelings for. There were places in these books where I actually got teary--which is unheard of for me when reading! I got so into believing in these people that I would get irritated and angry with a character when they did something I didn't agree with--always a sign I'm completely drawn in by the writer.
This is just a wonderful series of fantasy books. There is excitement, danger, tragedy, romance, a complete culture created, plots and sub-plots, all tied together in beautifully written language. Get these books, you'll love them.

love this series! I reread this one every once in a while...
I love her writing. I started her next series--it's good, but has a totally different feel and is definitely darker.
