The story is fine but I didn't like the foreshadowing that happened so many times. The beginning is already quite slow and spoiling the outcome made it feel even slower. To be fair the end of the book felt way more interesting and more like a climax because of the slow pace before that. But 50 nice pages at the end don't make the 350 before that less of a drag.
Exciting young adult fantasy novel with good immersion.
"The Eyes of the Dragon" was suggested to me by a very dear friend. It was an excellent suggestion. Dive into this book and meet a story teller who delivers to you the story of a king who slays a dragon and what happens to his two sons after he died.
"The Eyes of the Dragon" is a book by Stephen King who also wrote the Dark Tower series. This is definitely a different class of writing, one that appeals to me. A fantasy story / fairy tale he wrote that's rich in views and characters. Definitely something to read if you like fairy tales.
A sort of fairy tale, and only Stephen King can write one.
I really liked this book. It was really obvious that he wrote the book for his daughter, but it still had all the elements of Stephen King that I've grown to like. :)
