Alta Dragon Jousters Series Book 2 Audible Audio Edition Mercedes Lackey Ryan Burke Tantor Audio Books Reviews
- This book picks up immediately after the action closes in book one of the series, Joust. The same themes resonate...honor, friendship, betrayal, good versus evil. Overall, a good adventure story that I look forward to seeing to the end.
- Great book, especially if you love dragons. This is one series I won't be putting away for some time. Vetch, now Kiron, finds things are not as good as he had hoped in his homeland of Alta, as the Magi try to take over. Only Kiron and his friends can hope to stand up against them.
' - Love these books. They are well put together and the story is both exciting and full of unique features. I would recommend them to anyone how likes dragons.
- Like Joust, there is a simplicity in Alta which I like. Yet Alta's plot leaves much to be desired. Is it because Alta is the second book in a trilogy ? Kiron's acceptance among his people is just too easily and conveniently done. And why the girl, Aket-ten ?! From Lackey's over the top detailed description of her amazing talents and courage, she is the hero of the story, not Kiron, not the prince, not the dragons. Aket-ten being the only one capable of speaking to and understanding dragons just does not seem right. This implies that the bonding between dragon and his/her human companion right from the beginning is not as significant as we were led to believe. I like the ideal of the bonding and Aket-ten's empathy with the dragons is simply irrelevant and irritating. Nothing against a heroine, eventhough the character Aket-ten seems contrived, but from Joust I was led to believe and still prefer both Kiron and Ari to have centre stage. Ari is admirable and an interesting character and I am disappointed that Lackey has ignored him in Alta, except for the confrontation with Kiron, which sadly turn out to be an anti-climax. I expected much more from Lackey's imagination and I hope she will deliver in the third installment.
- If anything, it's even better than what I remembered, though the twists seem more obvious now than when I was young.
- I do not read Mercedes Lackey but purchased this as a gift to help my husband complete his collection
- All products I have gotten fro dealing with were of the best as I expected.
- Lackey's writing will make you long for the literary level of internet fanfiction. The flattest characters, the least well fleshed-out world, and the most awkward dialogue. Here's a fun game count all the times she says "Kiron had a feeling" to insert exposition.
