Rating: Summary: A mediocre book. Review: I wasn't able to fully identify with the characters in the story. Their personalities are not very well developed and are all fairly similar.On the positive side, some elements of the story have me intrigued. For example, I'd like to know more about Nimbulan's reasons for wanting everyone to use only dragon magic. I'd also like to know more about the effects of the Tambootie trees. Maybe I'll find some of the answers in the next two books, or in the Dragon Nimbus History series. Overall, this book was worth the read but it doesn't really stand out from the other fantasy novels out there.
Rating: Summary: Dragons! Review: if you love dragons, then read this series. the read is not difficult and the story line is good.
Rating: Summary: mildly intresting Review: it was okay in the begining but it gets worse and worse as you go along. pretty cheesy ( especially the wanna-be romance parts). but not all of it was bad.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic! As good as The Song in the Silence! Summer Paulus Review: Okay, I've read the histories first, so it's cool to know what the characters are talking about pertaining to historical events. So first off, I suggest you do that... Anyway, I'm not DONE with the book yet, got a lil' less than 1/4th to read, and so far I've really enjoyed it. I like the rules for magic and everything that the author sets for her world. The romance was really pulling me into it, until I crossed a questionable romance(?) scene... I'll leave you to read and decide, and I'm going to continue it hopes that the ending will make up for it.

Rating: Summary: The Glass Dragon Review: Radford, unfortunately has a tendancy to jump all over the place. The charters are not really developed and there are consistancy problems with how magic works. You really get the feeling that Radford created the story as she went instead of planing things out. You also get the feeling that about 3/4rths into the book Radford was rushing to end the story. This book will probably be great for those who like the Ann McCaffery series.
Rating: Summary: skeet Review: Rarely do I feel so strongly about a book that I want to throw it across the room. This was one. I haven't yet thrown it away or used it for firework starter, but I was terribly disappointed. Perhaps because this was her first book (?) I might try another more seasoned one by this author, but I found the character development awkward and the style of overshadowing with some mysterious italicised voice infuriating. Don't waste your time or money. There are good fantasy books out there, but this is not one of them.
Rating: Summary: Top Book Review: Since everyone else seemed to be giving this book a not-so-good review, I thought it deserved some praise! I really enjoyed this series. I thought all of the characters had very distinct personalities and the dragons (especially in the last two or so books) are very neat and different from other dragons as one can see by the cover. Irene Radford's descriptions were extremely vivid, and I think she deserves more praise. As in most fantasy novels, you've got to read the whole series! Overall, I think this was an excellant little fantasy novel, especially if you love dragons.

Rating: Summary: it was OK Review: The Glass Dragon was ok. It wasn't the worst book i'v ever read but it was by no means the best. It didn't have a plot that held me exactly spellbound, but there were some interesting parts of the book such as why would a dragon care about a wolf? As a whole the book isn't bad but there are definetly better books out there!
