About this audiobook

The breathtaking conclusion to the DragonKeeper chronicles!

The fantastic land of Amara is recovering from years of war as well as from the spiritual apathy corroding the Amarans' hearts. With Kale and her father serving as dragon keepers for Paladin, the dragon populace has exploded. It's a peaceful, exciting time of rebuilding. And yet, an insidious, unseen evil lurks just beneath the surface of the idyllic countryside.
As Kale and her father are busy hatching, bonding, and releasing the younger generation of dragons, the light wizard has little time to develop her skills. Her husband, Sir Bardon-despite physical limitations-has become a leader, serving under Paladin. When Kale and Bardon join the dragons on a quest to find a hidden colony, they encounter sinister forces. Their world is under attack by a secret enemy…can they overcome the ominous peril they can't even see?

Truth has never been more important, nor so difficult to discern.

Prepare to experience breathtaking adventure and mind-blowing fantasy as never before in this dazzling, beautifully-crafted conclusion to Donita K. Paul's popular DragonKeeper chronicles.

    This, the conclusion of the series, brings together once again all the characters who were in Books 1-3, whom I had grown fond of. There were many places in this book where it was humorous, and I enjoyed that very much, especially since the tale was the (series') culmination of a quest, and was intense in that way.

    Very rarely have I been more disappointed with any story than I was with DragonLight by Donita K. Paul. This final volume in her popular five-book Dragon Keeper Chronicles series had such a promising plot, and such an unfortunately bad follow-through.To summarize the plot without giving too much away, there is a cult growing in the land of Amara. This group, called "the Followers" seeks to subvert the teachings of Wulder, the one-true Creator and God, and also to exterminate the dragon population. At the same time, there is an infestation of poisonous, finger- to hand-sized dragons that spit fire and seem to attack Dragon Keepers on sight. These evil little creatures seem to be tied to a legendary evil dragon called Mot Angra. These two plot threads are tied, obviously, and in some very clever and unique ways. That is the most that I can reveal without spoiling too much. All that I can say is that this is easily the worst book that Paul wrote, as she really did have a brilliant story, but horrible delivery.I will only highlight a few problems I had with the book. First of all, the involvement of Wulder for a literal Deus ex Machina was fine, except for it being really badly executed. The vessel that Wulder used, little Toopka from the earlier tales, and the revelations of her history that many may have expected, seemed forced and not shown in a convincing manner. She goes from being problematic in her lack of trust of those around her, to suddenly trusting and loving everyone always. It just had no believability and conflicted with her portrayals and characterization in earlier books.Then there is the issue of Paladin and his actions/words. The guy was always a tad of a wooden figure, but he always had some life to him, and during the story line from the previous book with his illness and recovery, he seemed to have even more life and dynamism. In this book, it's as if Paul preferred him as less emotional and less dynamic. I don't get why. In this book, he sounded annoying and caused many an eye-roll.Some might say it was his virtues and quoting of the fictional "Tomes" (which mirrored real-life lessons from the real Scriptures that Paul wanted to teach) that made him boring to me. I disagree for a few reasons. First of all, as I said, these were not always boring traits in previous books, especially the last one. Secondly, Bardon and others that have had similar quotes and virtues in the books haven't irritated me at all. I think that why I found Paladin irritating is that he wasn't the dynamic, normal sounding character the others were, but he sounded like some cheesy super-hero from the Silver Age of Comics/Cartoons, uttering really absurd lines. I half-expected him to tell the bad guys that they "can't defeat the Amaran Super-Friends" or something equally cringe-worthy.Finally, there is the issue of Toopka, and, well, just Toopka. I know she was always that way except for a period where she served Wulder, so of course her change makes sense. But another character's reaction to it? I'm sorry, but "yuck!"This book was a sore disappointment to me. I recommend you at least skim it to learn of the ending of the series, but please don't waste your money on this one. Get it from the library instead. I doubt you would want to read it again. I have so much respect for Mrs. Paul, who got me into the genre of Christian fantasy that I didn't really know was as big as it is and is growing to be. This is hard, but I must give my honest opinion. The rest of the series was great, as is The Dragons of Chiril series, but this one book was awful.
