The Dragon King (Crimson Shadow)

Summary: The Dragon King
Review: A decent conclusion to a lackluster series missing in originality - but the action scenes make it a worthy read, coupled beside the wonderful character that is Oliver De'Burrows. The final confrontation with Greensparrow does not disappoint, and I left the series, having read this book, feeling like I had put my time to fair use, in spite of my opinon of the first 2 books. Overall, not bad, but Salvatore could do much better. He's proven that!

Review: After waiting for a year for this book to come out, I readthrough it in just a couple of days. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoyit. But... I felt that things were too easy. It started off withour heroes preparing for what should be a suicidal battle against overwealming forces. But they're going to march on anyway, because what other choice have they? And so they do, only to discover that their overwealming opposition wants to join them in bringing down their tyrannical king. Well, that's great. Except that it happened just about every time. Things are bad, things are terrible! We're all going to die! No, wait. They're joining us! Well, we're still outnumbered twenty to one. Onto the next! If this were all that there were to this book it would easily rank as Salvatore's worst. However, it is saved by its various characters, Oliver De Bouroughs in particular. (Enrico Montoyo and Monty Python's Frenchmen indeed, Bob!) I think that if this story didn't feel rushed, I might have enjoyed it more. But I still recommend it.

Summary: Typical one sided drubbing!
Review: I have found among many great writers a sense of stability and lustered quality that seems to make them stand out among the rest of the literary world. Those like Stephen King, Peter Straub, John Grisham, and others all title this list. In the Crimson Shadow series, Salvatore has isolated simple characteristics in the most complex characters of Katerin, Luthien, and the universily loved Oliver De'Burrows. Even Brind 'Amour and Greensparrow posses that certain air of genuiune quality. Though some characteristics of the story (especially in The Dragon King) are exceptionally predictable, they add to the completion of yet another chapter in a world that exists only in the mind's eye of the reader. I would recommend this series to any and all who have the time and patience to read it. Trust me, you will be rewarded.

Review: The Dragon King is the final book in the exciting Crimson Shadow saga. Luthien and the mystic wizard Brind Amour take on the mighty wizard Greensparrow in a final fight for land and freedom. 2 on 1 seems a bit unfair but Greensparrow has gathered up his council of evil wizards and sorceresses to help him carry out his evil deeds. Of course with Brind Amour awaken from his slumber Greensparrow is taking no chances and has conjured up evil demons from hell. How will this saga end? You'll just have to read it for yourself. If you like deception and mayhem in a mystical world I highly encourage you to pick up this book and read it for yourself. R.A. Salvatore does a great job in scripting the battle scenes in this book. You will literally find yourself sweating and wanting to read more as the story goes on. I gave this book and enthusiastic 4 stars.

Summary: Poor Oliver
Review: The Dragon King was an awesome display of drive and struggle against the oppresive dragon king greensparrow. This book was filled to the brim of a wonderfully descriptive novel with humor, victory, and a real tone of sadness. Ah my beautiful buttercup how i will forever miss you.

Summary: The final conclusion of the "Crimson Shadow"
Review: With this book Bob Salvatore concludes his "Crimson Shadow" trilogy - and he does it very good, however not perfect.
The battle descriptions are excellent, but frustrating, because in the whole book you want only one - with the evil Dragon King. But you must wait - it's great finish.
