Customer Reviews

Read it!!!

This book in my eyes is so much more captivating then the LOTR trilogy. In the LOTR trilogy there were points where I had to put the book down, so far, in the "kingdoms and elves" and "service of dragons", I havent found a point where i wanted to. The author gave the reader a world to sink into, and characters with real personalities. Overall one of the better fantasy books I have read.

A great book!

I totally got into this book. This is a great read from begining to end. In the Service of Dragons is one of the most phenomenal books of fantasy. You will fall in love with Vilmos, Adrina, Valam, ache when they ache, laugh when they laughs, and learn to share their terrible burdens.

Stanek weaves an excellent sequel

Stanek is a mastermind behind one of the Mothers-of-all Pageturners. Jump into the action as the conniving Sathar unleashes an attack on the world. Join in the edge-of-your-seat thrilling book as the lives of Adrina's friends and family are jeopardized. Don't pass up the chance to read this BRILLIANT masterpiece by Stanek! The other best books I have read are the first one and the Kingdoms books.

I couldn't stop reading

Wow, this book has it all. It's impossible to put this book down, I actually got in to trouble for reading it at school. This book is extremely well written. I have read all of the Kingdoms and the Elves books, but none of them were as good as this one. Can't wait till the next one comes out.

Perfect!

Well written (and extremely well plotted). It is a magical story with vivid characters, intrigue, and wonderfully described scenes. The writing is tops, never overdone. Definitely a favorite! It keeps you riveted! Highly recommended.
