The Dragonbards

Summary: This series will remain a trilogy
Review: As Webmaster for Shirley Rousseau Murphy, I'm posting her
reply to the comment here mentioning a possible fourth book
in the Dragonbards series. Long ago she considered writing
such a book, but she has no present plans to do so. She is
now fully occupied with her adult cat mystery series, and is
no longer writing Young Adult novels. However, she does hope
that the Dragonbards trilogy will someday be back in print--as
I do also, because I think it's a beautifully-written fantasy
that more people should have a chance to enjoy.

Review: I first read this trilogy in the sixth grade, and then later was striving to find them again. They are excellent books that everyone should read. Prince Tebriel is an inspiration to all who have no hope.

Summary: When will there be more?
Review: I found this series quite a few years ago, and have treasured it ever since. But after reading it the first time, I wrote a letter to Ms. Murphy asking after a fourth. She told me she had plans for one, called The Dragon Council. Ms. Murphy, if you ever see this, I'm still patiently waiting.

Summary: Sublime
Review: The beauty of Murphy's writing is awe inspiring. I first got the books (there are three books in the series) from my grandmother, and I stayed up for 36 straight hours reading them. Dragonbards is a wonderful ending to a wonderful trilogy. The characters, especially Kiri (the heroine) are wonderfully full and complete. The women play an equally important role in the war while still maintaining a realistic feel. Jordan has recently been praised for his powerful women, but they are all the same people. Murphy manages to create full enjoyable characters that are never repetitive. I would reccommend this book to anyone, whether they are a fan of fantasy or not.
