The Warlords of Nin (The Dragon King Trilogy)

Christmas gift for my husband, I bought him the 1st and 2nd book now need to get the 3rd one..

I am not going to give you a brief synopsis of this book, as you can get that from reading Amazons preview, or any of the other reviews on this book, I will say that I enjoy this book, but did not love it, the story was good enough to keep my interest, but not to the point of loosing sleep.I found the majority of the charactures lines to be unbelievable, or contrite, but was able to overlook them and enjoy the story. Nins Characture was under developed, I did not like or dislike him. I also would have liked the author to go into more detail when solving the main conflicts, i.e. he killed the main antagonist by throwing the sword in the air and pinning him to the ground, what?!, no fight, no words exchanged, he just rides in and throws the sword and boom, story over.My biggest problem was that the book tried to shove religion down my throat, the one main God, yadda, yadda, yadda, I get it, I get it. When I read Fantasy, I want to be entertained, not preached to.But I did like the story, and have orderd the third book, I do hope it is better than this last one.

Awesome build up to a fantastic ending! This is a tale full of wonder and sadness and Hope in all that is Good!!!

Stephen Lawhead is a fabulous author, a joy to read. His words paint a vivid picture in your mind. His talent is so amazing that he can describe in a few sentences, what other writers can't convey in pages. I was very moved by his description of faith in "the one God". But those of you without faith in a higher power, don't worry, you will still find this a fast paced, thrilling battle story. I loved this book and look forward to reading the next one!

Read, read again and now for a third time! Please, please write more excellent stories. I have all your books, and when I need to recharge, escape or be intellectually renewed, I read them again. Thanks be to the One, who blessed you with the gift of story telling.

I'm a great Lawhead fan. While I enjoyed this book and the entire series, I have preferred his other series far more. Great book/series, though! I will be donating it to my community's high school library. And I have already recommended the series to some teens & preteens I know who are always searching for a great read.

Great book

this is such a great story and Graphic Audio really brings it alive! Putting this story on is the only way to get my 12 year old to actually be quiet for any length of time at all...... That is a low price to pay for peace!

Very good sequel to 'In the Hall of the Dragon King'.
