Exhilarating! -Even for the well read adult.
Kale, a fourteen year old o'rant girl starts a journey that quickly and unexpectedly turns into quite an adventure. Along the way she meets new friends (who are very well characterized) and discovers more about the greater plan behind her journey/quest.
There are those who may claim that the allegory regarding the characters Wulder (God the Father) and Paladin (Christ) are too preachy, but I'm not afraid to state the obvious: those reviewers are probably offended by the message of the Gospel, and not by Donita Paul's intriguing allegory. Not only does she portray them well, I can't think of a way she could have portrayed them better. At times I found myself welling up as Paul develops Truths in this fantasy book that I didn't realize until I had entered my adult life, yet easy enough for a child to grasp.
Dragonspell
is not only beautiful and amazing Christian allegory, it is simply a great read, and an exciting adventure story. I was so drawn into the experiences of Kale that time flew as I read through each chapter.
A very rich and rewarding read, this book inspired me to attempt sketching and painting some of the mental images it conjured. Truly epic in potential (moving on into the rest of the series), this book and it's successors are certainly bound to be classics.

Adventure with giggles for all ages
Coming soon is a blog tour for Donita K. Paul's DragonLight, the fifth of the DragonKeeper Chornicles (
DragonSpell
, DragonQuest, DragonKnight, DragonFire and coming in 74 days to bookshelves DragonLight). In preparation, I'm making sure that I have read the four prequels first! (I'll then let you know if it does stand alone, or rely better with the others read too...) So, today I have finished reading DragonSpell. I started this and read it during my move, so I did not get to read it all through as fast as I would like, but each time I went back to it, it pulled me right back into the adventure.
This book kept me giggling and curious for more. With a full combination of Dumbledore and Gandolf, with Jesus and God the Father, as well as the Fellowship of the Ring, and flashes of the Shadow of Evil plot in mind... this book is a wonderful original that is reminiscent of many wonderful things that takes you to no place like you have ever been.

Kale is a simple o'rant girl who does not think too highly of herself. This is a story where Paladin comes to her in ways unimagined and shows her what she is made of, whether it is more or less than what she thought you'll have to read it and see. This book is a great adventure, literally for all ages!
