Dragonlight by Donita K. Paul (More thoughts!)

Greetings Again!

What? I reviewed this book twice? Well, yes! LOL! I have this quirk about me, if I like something, I will tend to pick it over and over again! I didn't realize it until later. Opps? No, I don’t think so! I think I got a fantastic change to make sure more and more people check out Mrs. Donita K. Paul's work!!! I did read a bit more of this book, I couldn't resist! And, since Mrs. Paul left me such a wonderful idea in a comment prior to this post, I can say that I tried. We live in this really rural place, and when you ask for books at our library they look at you like you are a Martian asking for a donut! They aren't sure which is more foreign, a Martian, a donut or a book request! Uggg!

Meanwhile, I can’t say enough good things about this book! I did check out some of the other reviews from people who had a heads up long before me and got to read the first 4 books in this series. I am on a QUEST to find them so I can read them! When I found out that Mrs. Paul is going to have A NEW SERIES in this same land, but yet a whole new series, I just tingled with anticipation! Mrs. Donita K. Paul, you have a new fan! ;) My book shelves will soon have a row just for your work! 

This series is fascinating, and I recommend reading them! Whatever I have to do to get a hold of them is going to happen! Buying them, getting them through your library, or even bumming them off friends to read! (But do give them back to your friends!) I really can’t wait to read more of your work Mrs. Paul!!!

Your new fan,
Carol :)

She mentors all ages, teaching teenagers and weekly adult writing workshops.

“God must have imprinted 'teacher' on me clear down to the bone. I taught in public school, then home schooled my children, and worked in private schools. Now my writing week isn’t very productive unless I include some time with kids.”


Her two grown children make her proud, and her two grandsons make her laugh.

Donita is an award-winning author of the Dragon Keeper Chronicle series including DragonFire and DragonKnight.

ABOUT THE BOOK
The fantastic land of Amara is recovering from years of war inflicted on its citizens by outside forces–as well as from the spiritual apathy corroding the Amarans’ hearts. With Kale and her father serving as dragon keepers for Paladin, the dragon populace has exploded. It’s a peaceful, exciting time of rebuilding. And yet, an insidious, unseen evil lurks just beneath the surface of the idyllic countryside.

Truth has never been more important, nor so difficult to discern.

As Kale and her father are busy hatching, bonding, and releasing the younger generation of dragons as helpers throughout the kingdom, the light wizard has little time to develop her skills. Her husband, Sir Bardon–despite physical limitations resulting from his bout with the stakes disease–has become a leader, serving on the governing board under Paladin. When Kale and Bardon set aside their daily responsibilities to join meech dragons Regidor and Gilda on a quest to find a hidden meech colony, they encounter sinister forces. Their world is under attack by a secret enemy… can they overcome the ominous peril they can’t even see?

Prepare to experience breathtaking adventure and mind-blowing fantasy as never before in this dazzling, beautifully-crafted conclusion to Donita K. Paul’s popular DragonKeeper Chronicles fantasy series.

"DragonLight is a delight, but I wouldn't expect anything less from the marvelous Donita K. Paul. I heartily recommend her books to all ages who love inspirational fantasy and wonderful creatures. Ms Paul not only supplies imagination and talent, she provides heart and soul. Another winner!"
~KATHRYN MACKEL, author of Boost
"Donita K. Paul is amazing! DragonLight has the allegorical depth to satisfy the most discerning adult seeking spiritual depth, yet it is fun enough to fascinate a child. This book will enthrall, uplift, and if allowed, change lives--as we are gently drawn to realize that each of us is flawed and must have patience with other flawed believers."
~HANNAH ALEXANDER, author of Double Blind
