The Dragon's Son (Dragonvarld Trilogy, Book 2)

Part two of a terrific trilogy, anyone reading the genre of books would do well to buy these! Came in a timely manner, very satisfied over all.

this is a completely awsome book that i could never put down. so far this is the best book in the series. but weis seems to forget that there were two sons and that she barley ever talked about marcus "the seeminly normal child of the two" but the blood of the dragon is in his blood so that makes him have magic powers so read this book and follow along an epic adventure of romance, action, adventure, and plenty of other things in this book.

This is a great book for fans of dragons and hybrids (half man, half dragon). I very much enjoyed the second book in this trilogy, certainly more than the first volume, The Mistress of Dragons. I am particularly fond of Margaret Weis' characters Draconas and Ven. Ven of which, we follow through out the book as he grows up, comes to face discrimination, and struggles to find his place in among a world of humans and dragons.

Favor fantasy? Then "The Dragon's Son," second by Margaret Weis in her Dragonvarld trilogy, is the story for you? Love to listen? Then Stefan Rudnicki and Gabrielle De Cuir are the voices for you, lending just the appropriate amounts of other worldliness to their readings. Rudnicki's delivery is resonant, memorable, and De Cuir's equally impressive. Fans will remember the conclusion of "Mistress of Dragons," a real heart stopper where a violation of the "leave them alone" rule regarding the affairs of men threatened the very existence of mankind. Hope lies with twin sons. Ven, short for Vengeance, is half man, half dragon. Marcus, on the other hand, was raised comfortably, at court, and appears to be totally human. However, the dragon blood each carries has imbued them with magical powers. Their asset may also be their peril as evil dragons in human form seek to destroy them. Draconas is their ally and wants to protect them. But, is this possible? Listen and enjoy. - Gail Cooke

Dragons would have nothing to do with humans and the Parliament of Dragons enforces that rule very strictly. However, one of the members have gone against the Parliament's ruling and mated with a high priestess, who since dragons can take on the form of a human, did not know who he really was. Two boys were the result of that coupling; Ven is a human from the waste up and a dragon from the waist down while Marcus is raised as the bastard son of King Ildlysisylde.The two boys do not know about each other; they also are hidden from their father, who plans to rule the world of dragons and humans with his breeding program. He needs Ven for a special role in his plan and it up to Draconis, the Parliament's representative, to make sure the lads grow to maturity because only then will they have a chance of defeating the dragon. Ven has an agenda of his own while Draconis is caught in a trap by one of the female dragons.THE DRAGON'S SON is a coming of age story of two young men, one living in poverty and the other surrounded by riches. Both share a common destiny if they have the courage to risk their lives to fight the rogue dragon (nobody knows his true identity) when they reach maturity. For now, they must survive and cope with the dragon blood running through their veins. Dragons caused the mess that the world is in and they must find a way to make things right for their own sake and for that of humanity. Margaret Weiss has written an enthralling high fantasy novel that will totally absorb readers.Harriet Klausner
