Summary: Somewhat of a disappointment
Review: I went into this book with the highest of expectations. i really enjoyed the Dark Glory War a lot and couldn't wait to see what happened. i'll tell you what happened...not a lot....lots of traveling back and forth from place to place without much action in between. Although the ending picked up a bit, i really missed the action and adventure and excitement from the first book. Although I'll definitely read the next book (i already own it) it'll probably be awhile. overall I thought this book was about 300 pages too long...there was no need for this book to have been 700 pages long. I loved the swords and socerery and fighting and action of the first book soo much, i can't say enough how disappointed i was in this book. I hope the action and excitement picks up in the next volume. By the way could the character of Kerrigan be any more boring???? Sorry Michael but I expected more...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Stackpole is fantastic!
Review: This book is the second in a very compelling series. I am a very picky reader and I tell you this is a GREAT book written by an ever better author. Michael Stackpole is one of the best authors I have ever read. Why every Sci Fi/ Fantasy fan in the world does not buy this and his other books, I will never understand. Not since Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time have I been so swept away by the story and characters of a novel. Not to mention, Michael has the courage to let his story go somewhere (WoT fans know what I mean). I tell you this, if you don't by this book and other Stackpole works, you are really missing out. Also, if you are a fan you will NOT be disappointed. This book is just as deep and compelling as his other novels.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome Book! - But don't skip the prequel.
Review: This book was awesome. I wanted to let people know that before anyone starts reading the books to the dragon crown series, you need to get Dark Glory War, which is the prequel to the series.

That book provides a lot of character development that is not covered in Fortress Draconis.

But back to the book on review, this book is great. I found it to be slower at first because of all the character development needed, but I think it helps in the long run. It makes the next book (When dragons rage) a lot better, and a lot more action occurs later.

Anyhow, great book! Everyone should read it, but get Dark Glory War first.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Gooood Book
Review: This is a great book! Fortress Draconis which comes after The Dark Glory War (which is really hard to beat) is as good as its predecessor. Lots of twists and turns. And interesting characters. A really great fantasy adventure novel with a fantastic cliffhanger at the end that will have you waiting anxiously for the second book in the trilogy. There isn't a single boring page. Which says a lot since a lot of authors tend to get caught up in writing about every single leaf-on-a-tree in their descriptions. Well, that doesn't happen in Fortress Draconis. This is a very enjoyable, smooth flowing read.
