Summary: You won't learn much, but you might have a good time
Review: This could never be considered one of the best books of fantasy literature. Most of the scenes are lukewarm, the characters are pretty bland, and there isn't much excitement. However, the book definitely has its moments, and even when it's not having a moment, it's usually engaging enough to hold your attention. Those who like having somewhat inhuman main characters, and those who like the whole tortured-and-nursed-back-to-health theme will probably like this book. If you're looking for stunningly vivid descriptions and brilliant dialogue and a complex, compelling plot, this might not be the book for you, but if you're looking for a decent, entertaining way to escape reality, go for it. I definitely had fun.

Summary: A pretty good piece of work.
Review: This is my first time ever reading Lynn's work and I must say she is a brillant writer. The book has alot of suspense and drama in it and even a little romanace. The only problem I had with it is she needs to go into more detail about what her characters look like and how they feel in each situation.

Summary: Welcome Back!
Review: Well Come! Well Come! Well Come! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You Ms. Lynn. I own every book Lynn wrote in the eighties and have reread them regularly. I am so, so, so glad to have her back. (Please hurry with the sequel! ) I also read some of the negative reviews here, and I think these people miss the boat on a great, sparse writer. Her Chronicles of Tornor are very concise, short books that remain vividly in mind. She creates very specific and wonder-filled worlds (as others have said here) and can move from fantasy to sci-fi (Sardonyx Net) with equal ease. The brutality in her books is almost medieval in it's callousness and scope, but to me there is a gut-wrenching reality in her work that makes me forgive anything that happens. When Karador's father (in dragon shape) is made to see he is killing people in burning the city of Mako, he suddenly reverts to human shape and plummets from the sky to his death. What an amazing idea, to be Dragon Lord means to be inhuman when Dragon Shape or Dragon Power takes over. To be the Dragon Lord's folk is inherently dangerous, just because of the accidents that can happen around such power. A man who tries to hold this power humanly is always being tested as are the people around him, but the humanity is enough to inspire allegiance. Needless to say, I loved this book. More please.

Summary: Elizabeth Lynn is back, and she's even better than before!
Review: When a voice of the caliber of Elizabeth Lynn's returns after many years' silence, it is an occasion for rejoicing. She is a wizard, in that she has the deep knowledge and the art to create worlds. When the Lord Erin di Mako in _Dragon's Winter_ says to the wizard Lady Senmet ``It's been a long time. We thought you might never wake,'' he is speaking words that many of Lynn's readers feel. I suspect that Elizabeth Lynn knows she's been missed, and that her silence has not been wilful. Let us hope that her storyteller's voice is as permanently healed as Lady Senmet's powers. This book certainly is grounds for great hope of more to come. Lynn is, once again, delivering a performance that few novelists--in the realm of fantasy or any other--can achieve. Not only does she craft an engrossing, believable world; it is a world where people are all too human, where love and loyalty face genuine obstacles--obstacles that cannot always be overcome. _Dragon's Winter_ has a more somber tone than Lynn's earlier books, but that may be a virtue. There are no one-dimensional characters here, nor is the characterization mechanically balanced--even the minor characters (come to think of it, _are_ any of the characters in _Dragon's Winter_ minor?) are real personalities with complex motivations. It is an often-repeated truism that virtue is its own reward; it is rare to read a work of fantasy, however, that reflects this literally. In _Dragon's Winter_ there are characters whose well-balanced lives are works of beauty; but as in our own world, balance is a temporary achievement, and moral beauty can quite well be the victim of evil and violence. In the end, for some characters, their virtue is its _only_ reward. But Lynn's characters, especially those who perish, are more memorable (and more inspiring) than the usual sort of cardboard fantasy characters who triumph over all. And as in real life, those who perish leave behind friends and memories as the testimonial of their worth. Some readers may conceivably find this less satisfying than watching the good guys always win. Fortunately for such readers, there is plenty of juvenile fiction available. Give me Elizabeth Lynn, though, every time. In her earlier work, Lynn not only entertained me, but also taught me to think more carefully about subjects like gender, art, and work (even though I thought I was already pretty cool on those subjects). _Dragon's Winter_ does that, and more. It is certainly engrossing; like almost all of Lynn's books, it is one I would not willingly put down until I had absorbed all of it. But _Dragon's Winter_ also made me think in new ways about power; about choices; about loyalty; and about truth and falsehood. Not bad for escape reading! Or for any other kind. The epilogue to _Dragon's Winter_ gives me hope that we may yet be able to experience more of this particular world of Lynn's creation. May the wait be shorter this time.

Summary: WHY?
Review: WHY! why did my fav. character die! Well, you're not getting a name from me...nope. I think this book was very good. It was the first Lynn book i have read. I'm just waiting for the sequel (or has it came out yet?) i had bought it in the summer and didn't have a chance to read it until a few months ago. I read it in two days, i just couldn't put it down. It gets u involved. I think Lynn could have elaborated on the characters a little more, but other than that...it was a great book. A MUST READ!
