DragonSpell is the first book in a series by Donita K. Paul, published in 2004. It tells the beginning of the story of a young o'rant slave girl, Kale who has a remarkable talent for locating dragon eggs. After this talent is discovered, she is sent to the city of Vandela, in order to use her gift to serve Paladin. On the way there she is attacked by ogres, rescued by a doneel, his dragon, and a female emerlindian, and told not to go to Vandela but to travel with them. And so her adventure begins.
To me, this book seemed a lot like one of Tolkien's works, or Christopher Paolini's. And that's a good thing, considering that those are to of my favorite authors. Most writers these days keep their writing within this world, they just create different versions of it. And that's all well and good, but I personally think that some of the best authors are the ones who take the time to create their own worlds, languages, races, and cultures.
Donita K. Paul has definitely hit my favorites list with this one. The world she weaves is so beautiful, as I read it I felt as if I was in the book. The novel contained some Christianity, which made the book all the more enjoyable for me. I will read it again, and I hope that you will read it to.
I recieved a copy of this book from Waterbrook Multnomah in exchange for writing a fair and honest review.
