Sanctuary (The Dragon Jousters, Book 3)

I still love this new world that Lackey's created but I felt that this book fell short of the previous two. The story was slow to start and it didn't really get going until after the first 100 pages. Also, I think my reaction had a lot to do with the fact it's been about a year since I've read the second book and the events and characters of that were a little fuzzy. However, the ending was satisfactory and there are enough intriguing hints of what's to come in this universe that I'll keep reading. In addition, for a history freak like me, I'm loving the parallels to Lackey's world to the historical ancient Egypt's unification. Recommended, but read the first two first.
