A largely boring book that gets 2 stars instead of 1 because the 'damsel' does something really cool right before the climax. ( ) I read this novel before I properly knew what a novelization is, and I'd read it twice before I ever ran across the movie it retells (starring Peter MacNicol). I remember the genuinely bittersweet climax, indeed the strangely poignant tone throughout. I also loved the dragon's backstory, unique in my reading at that point. I need to return to this one (I still have it somewhere!) to see if it stands up at all. But I think my affection for this book is justified, at least to some extent, by more than nostalgia! aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Vermithrax, the last of dragonkind, swooped down over the kingdom of Urland, let loose a torrent of flames, and reduced everything to smoldering ash. Then, finding the newly blackened wasteland much to its liking, it settled in for a long stay. Desperate, the villagers finally sought the help of Ulrich, the last living sorcerer. But Ulrich was too old, too feeble. That left only his apprentice, Galen, to go against the might and terror of the deadly dragon. Of the use of weapons he knew nothing. Of the Old Magic he knew very little. But he was sworn to defeat Vermithrax -- one way or the other. "A fantasy . . . with an eloquence and humor that raises it above the average . . . Highly recommended." -- Library Journal Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
