Ren and Gabrial are such an interesting characters! I'm looking forward to seeing where the next book takes us!

Even though the cover had dragons. The book didn't feel like it was like the cover and didn't seem interesting to me

I'm pretty I read the summary for this one before the first book and immediately needed to know more about the character Ren, in all his liminality, between skalar/dragon and Hom, his drake and the rest of the Wearle.

Hoo boy, what a ride.

D'lacey's really cool and thoughtful mythology continues... and shit is getting real. Most importantly, there's a type of possession happening, which is pretty much one of my literary kinks.

Good show, ready for more.

Great beginning, great ending; unfortunately, everything in between feels kind of . . . hollow. I can only assume this is because of middle-book (or rather, final-book-setup) syndrome. Lots of running around, characters swapping sides and places and allegiances. Once I reached part 5, though . . . I was rewarded with glorious strangeness that I haven't seen since the Last Dragon Chronicles. Worth reading for that alone. And of course there's the deepening mythology (which may or may not be related to LDC and the UFiles), which remains as interesting as ever. Just not as cohesive or compelling as book 1.

What is with the cover????? How tacky looking Mr D'Lacey ought to find a better cover artist.


A great second book to the Erth Dragon series, where characters begin to take charge and tings become complicated between the world of dragons, goyles and humans. Blood is shed and monsters and awakened.

I love how D' Lacey keeps his rules in the series to the last dragon chronicles within these books, all dragons names begin with 'G' and Godith is their creator, and fire tears are the dragons essence of life etc.

I was hit by a van the day after I started reading this and so....I read this in a day sat like a cripple (in my wheelchair) in front of my rats cage feet up on their food box, with fizzy drinks and chocolate at hand... this book was gripping enough to leave me wanting more. Glad I had time off work to finish it so quickly. ;)

But the covers though..... seriously... I will be buying these books but not until they have a second edition cover for the series lolz!

Took too long to get where it was going and sped through parts that should have taken longer. Decent enough, though anti-climatic at parts. If the next book ends up on a shelf at eye level in my library I may read it, but I won't go out of my way to find it.
