[.ca] Dragon Venom: The Stunning Conclusion to the Obsidian ... (ISBN 0765302799)

drgagon veenom is a wicked awsome book:
I am a 12 year, advanced reader and I finished the third book in the Obsidian chronicles (Dragon Venom) on October 18, this year. This book was written by Lawrence Watt-Evens and is part of a three book sires. The other two novels are Dragon Weather and The Dragon Weather. The book has a thick plot that is not to complex, if you plan on getting one you might as well just buy the other two with it cause there is no human, "or dragon" that can go with out reading them all. All the books play into the next so you're going to have to read them in order or your going to be seriously confused. After you read these books they're going to kick the crud out of your old favorites. This is a science fiction novel with just a little bit of politics worked into it. The story begins in the little peaceful glass making village on the Smoky Mountains, but no for long. In the village a young boy named Arlin, or later as Lord Obsidian is about to be the only survivor from that village. A case of hot, dark, think weather is about to revel three powerful dragons. After he survives he is sold into slavery by the vicious Lord Dragon. He has now taken an oath upon himself of vengeance agents the all dragons, especially the dragons that destroyed his home and the looters who sold him in to years of slavery. I loved this book and it is my all-time favorite. This novel proves that one man can do a bit of good and receive Justus.

Master piece:
Lawrence Watt-Evants Dragon series has proved to me that he is truely a master writer. I have enjoyed his books books for years and I beleive this is the best I have ever read. All three books grab your attention and hold onto it, but it is a rare author who's final book in a series is better than all the rest. I've waited years for this story to come to a conclusion and I am no sorry for the wait. This is truely a master piece!

Excellent.:
The final installment of the Obsidian chronicles does a great job of tying up the storylines from the previous two books. The character development of the main protaginist comes full circle, and the reader is left feeling satisfied with the end result. One of personal favourite points about this book is the simmering resentment between Arlian and his best friend and steward, Black. Instead of just glossing over the Black character, Watt-Evans gives him real motivations and desires, ofentimes which don't co-incide with those of Arlian. It is a real treat to read the interactions between these two men.

Caught Between the Dragons and the Wild Magic`:
Dragon Venom is the third novel in the Obsidian Chronicles, following Dragon Society. In the previous volume, the Aritheians were successful in curing Lady Rime of her venom contaminated blood; she was no longer a dragonheart. When the dragon spawn was killed, the parent Dragon felt it and came to take vengeance on Arlian. Toribor volunteered to lure the dragon within range of the newfangled spear-thrower and was enveloped in the dragon's venom, but Arlian triggered the machine and hit the dragon with four obsidian-headed spears, yet did not kill it. He then leaped on the dragon and, hanging by one hand, shoved a spear in deeper until it penetrated the heart. In this novel, Arlian has been appointed as the Duke's warlord and for the past fourteen years has been searching out and killing dragons in their lairs during the winter, when they are asleep and dormant. After cleaning out yet another lair, Arlian decides to return to Manfort for a while. Releasing the campfollowers at Crackstone, leaving most of his men in Ethinior, and sending Rolinor on ahead to Manfort, Arlian and Black return home together. In Manfort, Arlian learns from Isein of disturbances along the southern border. After a good night's sleep, Arlian sends word of his return to the Duke. He visits the Old Palace and Lady Rime while he awaits word from the Duke, but becomes impatient after three days and drops in on the Duke unsummoned. The Duke informs Arlian that the Southern borders have suffered encroachments of wild magic and suggests that the death of so many dragons may have led to a weakening of the barrier to such magic. Arlian has to agree, especially after a messenger from the Dragon Society confirms this news and offers a truce with the dragons. Under the circumstances, he promises to not kill any more dragons without the Duke's permission. However, he wonders how the dragons have fended off the wild magic and determines to travel south to find some answers. In this story, Arlian learns even more about magic of all kinds. He meets magicians, wizards and the thing in Tirikindaro. Then he performs some experiments with dragon venom. This volume satisfactorily concludes the story arc, although it leaves open the possibilities of future sequels. The author does still have some fascinating magical concepts to play with and a whole new cast of characters being born. Oh, the possibilities! Highly recommended for Watt-Evans fans and for anyone else who enjoys stories of magic, dragons and heroes with a slightly different slant.
