A Very Fitting Conclusion
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Dragonstar is the fitting conclusion to one of Barbara Hambly's best series. The book does not stand alone. It did, however, inspire me to re-read the entire Dragon Series. (Dragonsbane, being one of the best fantasy books that I've ever read!) Dragon fans take note. This is a series which you will enjoy! As stated by Anne McCaffrey--"She writes darn good books!"
Excellent!

Dragonstar, the latest book in the Dragonsbane series, returns to the breezy, upbeat style that made Dragonsbane itself so readable (and the lack of which made Knight of the Demon Queen, the third book in this series, so UNreadable). While this novel cannot be said to stand on its own, it is an excellent conclusion to the series. Read it!
WOW!

The title pretty much sums up my feelings about DRAGONSTAR. A great read. I could not put it down. This is definately a series I will return and read again and again.If I have one complaint, it's the cover. Just isn't up to the beautiful and colorful Donata covers on the previous two volumes.Ignore the cover. Read the book. It's wonderful
Slow start, better finish

This book was harder to jump right into, after a long hiatus from the last book in the series, than previous Hambly novels. However, once you remembered enough, the plot's subtleties started to come through. Best of all, it is much less depressing in tone than the previous two without having a cloying, too happy ending.
Hambly At Her Best!

All of the things that make Barbara Hambly a classic are present in "Dragonstar": intricate characters that you root for, detailed background settings that suck you in, and an actual plot with enough twists and turns to keep you turning pages well into the night.This book is not the usual fantasy novel with so-so sword play and hum-drum magic. Read "Dragonstar" and discover what a truly fine author Barbara Hambly is.
