I wanted to buy this book because it is the fourth book in the series and the series is excellent. Loved it and had read the first three several times before this came out. I liked some of the little finishing touches that she added in this book to help resolve some of the things going on in the previous three. This book was just a little shorter than the other three and I wish that she had gone into further detail about a few things that happened in the story. As in further developing of a few of the minor plots that had been in this book alone. She had developed the first three much more and so they ended up being slightly richer for enjoyment. I also wish that the book had been longer but I still really liked this book and will undoubtedly read it again.
The Jouster series is a delight for any Lackey fan and for those who relish any dragon tale a true joy. It appears to be a conclusion to the series but hopefully more will come. The characterizations are rich, the story entertaining and the passions believeable. Be sure to read "Joust, Alta and Sanctuary" to enjoy the full experience. I may not have read every single book Mercedes Lackey has written, but I have tried. Well worth the effort to track down all four and transend the daily grind with a rousting adventure. After this review, perhaps my screen name is more obvious. ibpurpledragon
Aerie: This is book foor Of the Dragon Jousters, and I loved it even more then the other ones. Since we know the caracters and where they are going, just sends a trill all over. Mercedes is the best. Just can't live without her anymore. Please write another one, dear Mercedes, Carol Mc Do
Last in the Joust series (Joust , Alta , Sanctuary , & Aerie) . . . the first three I thought were excellent , and could have ended there . . . this is shorter , and the ending seems rushed .
I have just bought this one and I haven't read it yet. If it's like the rest it is excellent. The other 3 are super.
