Summary: The Dragon's Horn
Review: I love fantasies, especially those in the genre of The Hobbit and Dark Crystal. The Dragon's Horn is right up there with the best of them.

I could not put the book down. It was fast paced and certainly made me want to turn the page to find out what happened next. Before I knew it, I was through the story and very satisfied with the outcome.

This is a must read and well worth the price and the time to read.

I hope that the author writes many more like The Dragon's Horn.

Summary: The Dragon's Horn
Review: Once he lived with the other gods in heaven until he was cast out due to his evil ways. Vowing revenge, he kills all but three of the dragons, stealing their horns, which enhances his already strong powers geometrically. He plans to finish slaying the remaining threesome and their immortal wives.

Rilana and her dragon-mate Rynak are chosen to fight the demon. They can change into human form and with their pure and strong love for one another, feel they can defeat their foe. However, he is uncanny with his tricks that test the dragon couples. If they fail life on earth will end.

THe Dragons's Horn is one of the most refreshing and mesmerizing fantasy romances this reviewer has ever read. The characters are so beguiling that they will find a place for themselves in the reader's heart while the story line is so action packed that readers will want to finish this book in one sitting. Glynnis Kincaid is a fresh and welcome new voice in fantasy romance and will one day be a superstar. Let's hope she a new book out soon!

Summary: Great idea, but...
Review: The book has an excellent, original premise. It has a very promising start, but then it flounders mid-way into the tale. The characters are not fleshed out enough and the "challenges" that the group must face are simplistic. They go from one challenge to the next without really building on past experiences. We are told that the characters change during the book, but not shown why or how the change occurs. Also, the characters are supposed to be waging the final war against a great evil but have no experiences or great insights to place them into this position. It is predestined... but without any background in strategy or even fighting it is not the profound denoumant that the writers are trying to build up to.

Good effort but not really satisfying. I am hoping to see more from the two... They have tremendous potential together.

Summary: A richly textured fantasy world to get lost in!
Review: When you read Kincaid's THE DRAGON'S HORN, you enter into a magical world, a richly textured fantasy world that perhaps not even Disney could do justice to.

Rynak is a male dragon with a destiny he's not sure he's yet ready to claim. Xlana is a female sorceress, still somewhat unaware of her powers. The two start as innocent friends but a deep love develops, enough so that Rynak must take human form to claim, and to save, Xlana.

Of course, things aren't that easy. A few demons, a nasty elf, a handful of other dragons (Dykstra, the earth dragon has an AWESOME attitude and deserves a book of her own!), some villagers deeply prejudiced against dragons and sorceress, and a quest that cannot be denied... well, mix it all up with beautiful, lyrical, descriptive writing and you'll have THE DRAGON'S HORN.

I'd recommend this book to any teenager just discovering the worlds of fantasy and science fiction, but I'd also just as highly recommend it to any adult fantasy reader, who wants to experience the sheer joy of magic and dragons again.
