The Brazen Serpent Chronicles: Talon of Light

Summary: On Talon of Light
Review: An engrossing fantasy with some unexpected twists and turns that make it all the more enjoyable. there are things here that don't happen in most fantasies--an ancient prophecy which is out-of-joint, a reformed villain...and a hero who is NOT the first to receive the magic sword...Characterisation is exacting and well-built, and there are plenty of dragons for the dragon-lover.

Review: Talon of Light is a thrilling book. You never know what will happen next and it kept my interest all the way through. There are many exciting battles and wars wich are not gory or gross but moments of true character. The charecters are very well developed so you get a feel for them. You are always on the edge of your seat to find out what will happen to them. They are also very well defined as good or evil, and throughout the book are morals that make you think. This is not a book that you will forget about. You will always remember the lessons and morals and maybe even apply them to your life.

Review: Talon of Light is the first book in the Brazen Serpent Chronicles. It is high fantasy at its best. The story is chock-full of heroes, damsels, dragons and evil antagonists. Dennis Baird has given us a rich tale that depicts the age old struggle between good and evil; we cry and cheer and gasp along the journey. A tremendous first novel that will bring the author success. It is unfortunate that the price placed on it by the booksellers is so high, but don't let that stop you...you will be glad to have this one in your collection.

Summary: Talon of light
Review: This is a fun, insightful novel. The moral lessons in this work of literature are brilliant and fascinating. The story line is easy to follow and leaves you hanging on each chapter. I feel that the moral views expressed in this work of fiction could easily be implied in our own lives. In a day and age when religious views are looked down on, and those who choose to live by the tenets of their faith are seen as old fashion, this book is full of heroes who choose to do the right thing. The characters in the book are clearly defined as good or evil. There are no heroes that have muddy moral values. This book could be placed on the same moral plane as such books as: The lion, the witch, and the wardrobe and The Lord of the rings. In short this book is about people who choose to make the right decisions for the right reasons. An excellent read.
