Summary
As shown in the second Dragonmaster fantasy, in which
dragonmaster Hal Kailas leads the Derainian army's drive to
finally end the war with the Roche, Bunch's work is far more
about war than about dragons, who have little personality or
individuality. Kailas, now a lord, makes a resourceful hero,
managing a daring escape from an impregnable enemy prison,
but the rest of the cast are mostly one-dimensional. Good
battle scenes and Bunch's grasp of military strategy will
please fans of the first book in the trilogy,
A Storm of Wings (2003). Though Bunch died in July
2005, he had completed the final volume,
The Last Battle, which has already been released in
the U.K.
(Mar.)
"Bunch had great fun in this series...his concepts have a
touch of elegance."
"A superb military fantasy."
