Book Review - The Dragon Keeper

Don't read this. The book just stops. I knew it was part of a series, but it's common courtesy to wrap up a book in some satisfactory manner, with heavy foreshadowing the sequel.

This stopped practically in the middle of a conversation.

That ruined it for me. A long book, 553 pages, that read glacially slow, gave zero reward at the end.

Actually, it's like a prequel. We follow the characters chapter after chapter, reading as they gradually get to the decision to go on a quest, the quest starts, and suddenly the book ends. The only obstacles they have to overcome are personal ones. Society, culture, and family. So yeah, it was pretty dull at times. There's no reason to care.

Arg, so mad.
