In the Service of Dragons IV 16 reviews

Playaway, 2008
The end of a magnificent journey, and an amazing conclusion!
In the Service of Dragons #4 is Stanek's crowning achievement and a grand conclusion to a magnificent journey begun with The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches. Eight books later, I was astounded at how well he pulled the varied threads together and wrapped up this epic story of magic, wizards, elves, and dragons.
The characters in this series are exceedingly well portrayed. They have hopes ...

Fantastic sequel
This is a fantastic follow up to Keeper Martin's Tale - a true joy to read full of mystery and intrigue and action and adventure. Like many readers, I found this to be even better than the first one. The series continues to be entertaining and interesting and has become one of my favorite ongoing fantasy series.
What makes it different from other fantasy series is that fantasy world is as ...

In the Service of Dragons II
In the Service of Dragons II is the second book of the Dragon series. The book begins with the regal funeral for a fallen king and heads quickly into turmoil as the enemy lays siege to Imtal itself. I was left wanting more with every turn of the fight. Meanwhile, across the great sea, Valam, his fellow kingdomers, and Seth make their way to Leklorall, the capital of East Reach and where Seth will ...

Why kids AND adults should read Magic Lands
Remember those times as a kid when you picked up a book and got lost in it? Well, this is such a book.

You'll be swept away in an amazing world and desperately desire to become part of this magical universe.

Should Be Newberry Medal Book
I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for not only an adventure but also an extremely well written story of life. I loved reading it. Every page either had me surprised or blown away. It feels like your actually there. This book sucks you in from the first couple words, and drops you off when you wish it hadn't! If you haven't read this book yet you are missing out. This book tells ...

Elf Queen's Quest (Ruin Mist Chronicles: Dark Path)64 reviews
Robert Stanek
Reagent Press, 2002
Good with caveats
Ruin Mist Chronicles is an excellent series, but you need to read the books in proper order. It goes Keeper Martin's Tale, Kingdom Alliance, Fields of Honor, Mark of the Dragon. The Ruin Mist Dark Path if you've read it, provides an alternate telling of the story of Ruin Mist. I have an original edition of Keeper Martin's Tale and Elf Queen's Quest. Both begin with a preface that explain this, ...

The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches IV
ISBN: 15754550658
Magical ---- Literally!
I became intrigued by the phenomena of Ruin Mist awhile back, and this review is a long time readers perspective. In many respects, I'm probably the last person who would enjoy this book. I'm a cynic by nature, and my reading habits lean more toward more mature series and more literary works. Or at least ...

In the Service of Dragon = addiction
Just a warning here, these books are like potato chips, it's very difficult to eat only one!!! ...and then you'll find yourself walking around singing Eldrick's song of the tree brothers or longing to reread the part where Vilmos plays Edward in King's Mate or wanting to jump ahead to get to the next trio match.
I bought this book around Christmastime and found the story to be fascinating. As ...

Stormjammers: The Extraordinary Story Of Electronic Warfare Operations In The Gulf War6 reviews
Robert Stanek
Reagent Press, 2006
A brilliantly crafted, deeply touching and extraordinary read.
Stormjammers is a beautifully written and deeply personal look at one man's transformation from a young flyer to a hardened combat veteran and ultimately to a warrior irrevocably changed by his experiences. It's also the highest tribute to the men and women he served with.
From the start of this book, all the way through to the end, I was full of feelings and emotions. Stanek's words were so ...

Enter Ruin Mist!
Ruin Mist Chronicles are some of the finest books written. Ruin Mist Chronicles mainly centers on a great journey and the coming together of divided peoples with great evil, wars and dark minions as strong additions. Stanek does not just create a plot and loads of characters in the books, he creates a whole new world. This makes his stories amazing! It's the Star Wars of fantasy fiction. Every ...

No one can deny that this is a good yarn. It moves quickly, has numerous twists and turns, and ultimately has a very satisfying conclusion. In this book, Scott Evers must match wits with a clandestine group, a group with great reach and power, while also dealing with the whims of an eccentric billionaire.
