This is a really nice book - in the beginning.The idea of everything is amazingly old, and yet so fresh. The way the author portrays things isn't so special, and yet you really do end up feeling connected to the characters - sometimes. I guessed a lot of the plots pretty much before they'd started. I guess after a month or so of reading the pretty much unpredictable (for me, anyways) HP series I am ready for a lot of things. I guessed that (view spoiler)[the dragon stone was an egg (hideLadies and gentlemen you know; I have lot of overdue review. So I've been thinking that writing. Some would be highly controversial, so I've opted to choose the easiest review momentarily.This book buys it from starting at a comic book shop that much, go is mostly my sister:-). Three-fourths of the novel I liked much, but it has disappointed me the end.This is the novel of a slave girl, who has no name, and that should take care of animals, his master Lan, which is a vague, and a tyrant does not
It's ok. I wouldn't say it was good but I didn't hate it, and it's a nice quick read. I think the main problem is the writing is quite dry. I didn't get a feeling for the characters or their environment. I kinda liked the dragon but he spent most of his time unhappy, and I can't understand why he didn't explain to Ping what the dragon stone actually was. There's a lot about how Ping has to fend for herself and solve problems with the things she has available to her. It was nice to see, and it

A young servant girl named Ping felt like she had no future or purpose in life, so she worked as a servant.Ping knew the last dragon was going to be killed but some how, she felt as if she had a reason to protect this dragon and its precious purple stone.Ping helps this dragon to escape and they go on to a adventure to some type off dragon island.I didn't truly like how Ping and her dragon got to find his confidence towards Ping later on in this book, but I did like it when they really just
In western literature, dragons are objects of terror that hoard treasure and breathe fire. There are exceptions, like the dragons in Ursula le Guns Earthsea series, and any Dungeons and Dragons player will know that there are dragons benign, and not all breathe fire. But the red fire-breather la Smaug think is usually our first picture. So when I spotted a copy of Australian author Carole Wilkinsons Dragonkeeper at the Goodwood library I made sure that it came home to visit. China also has a
An easy to read fantasy adventure set in Ancient China. Though more descriptive than most middle grade novels, the story is engrossing and especially enjoyable for animal lovers (at least those tolerant of fantasy animals such as dragons).The unassuming heroine discovers talents and abilities she didnt know she had, realising that they can help her to fulfil her calling to be a dragon keeper.
