The Dragon Stone Trilogy, the Complete Box Set: Book One: Dragon Stones, Book Two: Return of the Dragon Riders, Book Three: Vosper's Revenge

Enjoyed the trilogy. Would recommend for youngsters/teens as not gory or raunchy. Good characters and plot. Ending a little abrupt but appreciate it not dragging into another book

Nice to read something after the fashion of Lord of the Rings that is not too derivative (though many of the characters - orcs, dwarves elves etc) are familiar. An enjoyable read and I loved the dragons. Had this not been a bundle of 3 I think I would have felt cheated, but to read them like this was a good experience. I will certainly be interested in reading more.

Great reading found it difficult to put down until I had got through all 3 books. Thank you for an enjoyable time while lost in there pages.

A good story, with enjoyable characters and plot, despite the cliche attempt at magic. The writing lacks the descriptive depth and feeling I would have liked from such an epic. Definitely worth a read but isn't flawless.

So glad I brought all three books together, I never would have been able to stand waiting to find out what happens next! The trilogy is fast paced and extraordinarily action packed.Like other reviewers I am forced to make the comparison to Eragon and a touch of How to train your dragon, though honestly there's nothing wrong with being compared with series as good as those. This is not to say there isn't a charming uniqueness about the series, particularly in that the hero isn't a warrior but a very talented healer.I particularly enjoyed the action sequences, the author describes battle precisely as it should be; brutal, dirty and bloody, it's a refreshing change from many writers whom tend towards clean cut heroes swinging a blade.Overall this series lends itself very well to being a gateway series to fantasy for younger readers, there's no major challenges to the accepted fantasy formulae but there's far from anything wrong with it.Think I'll be buying the next trilogy soon!

enjoyed reading the trilogies. It was well written. I liked Thorin and Tallin really likable. The story line was alright not too long and had a good ending. Left it so the charectures can be used again. Will be buying book four.

Loved these books, read them one after the other, couldn't put them down.If you like this genre, buy them now, sit back, relax, read and enjoy.I don't want to say too much and spoil it for everyone but the relationship between the dragons and their riders is so moving but at the same time exhilarating. Can't wait for more.

I found all 3 of these books thoroughly entertaining. I did draw some similarities of these books with The Hobbit, some names being the same.However I soon grew to love and respect the relationships between the dragon riders and their dragons. It were both touching and beautiful. I can thoroughly recommend this trilogy and are now reading book 4 called The Balborite Curse.

Está escrita en un inglés bastante sencillo.Está activa la opción Word Wise que ayuda en la lectura.Se trata de un libro de fantasía épica, nada original, pero que resulta muy entretenido.Inspirada en Eragon y Dragonlance, tiene todos los alicientes de este tipo de libros: dragones, orcos, enanos, elfos, asesinos, magos....

Enjoyed this set. Yes, it's a dragon book yet it has a different flavour.I'm glad I came to this story with the story finished, as I don't haveto wait. There are 3 sets, with 3 books in a set.Thank you author for the amazing characters and storyline.Highly recommend.

well written, hard to stop, a fast read and entertaining for all ages. love it!

The Dragon Stone Trilogy, tells the story of young Elias, a healer with an inescapable fate. Throughout this trilogy you will see Elias struggle to overcome the tragedies of his childhood in order to face his ultimate foe, Vosper. This trilogy has dragons, war, romance, and comedy. Alva does a great job of creating a group of characters that are unconventional, but likeable, and a plot that is unique all on its own. The story can get cheesy at times, but I really found the dragons and the humans to be very endearing.Elias is male, but he has qualities that would be considered feminine. Instead of erasing these qualities from his character as the story progresses, Alva instead creates a way in which his feminine qualities are important to his character development. He still saves the world, he just does not have to be stereotypically “manly” to do so. I really appreciated that Alva ended the trilogy with Elias remaining true to himself. This did sacrifice some amount of character development, but I think it made the story more realistic. Elias does grow throughout the three books. He starts off unsure of himself and his abilities, and in the last book, Vosper’s Revenge Elias is a leader and he knows who he is.Alva’s descriptions of the other main characters, including the dragons, really added layers to the plot that expanded the focus beyond just Elias. Two of the other main characters, Sela and Tallin, were very strong. Sela was my favorite character. Sela is a dragon-rider and a natural born leader. She finds it difficult to speak telepathically and is not as strong of a spell caster as Tallin, but she does not let this slow her down. Sela fights just as hard as every other dragon rider and she is not afraid to speak her mind. Meanwhile, Tallin is not very outspoken. Tallin was tortured by Vosper for many years and then lived in solitude. He resists human contact, but he is very close with his dragon: Duskeye.The dragons are not as complex as the human characters, but Alva does make an effort to give readers a glimpse of dragon culture. I learned about how dragons mate and how they are much more intelligent than humans. The dragons in this trilogy are equal to the humans. Humans do not own them. When a rider and a dragon wish to join together, they undergo a ceremony and they both must be willing. I think this is very interesting. Often, in fantasy novels of this kind, the humans always end up being the “winners” but in The Dragon Stone Trilogy it seems like all mystical creatures are important.I did, at times, feel like Elias’ struggles and the struggles of other characters were too easy. Alva seemed to set up a very interesting plot, and then finish it too quickly. This made it seem like conflicts were not really difficult, just hoops to jump through. The main villain seemed laughably easy to defeat, and only one main character died in the process of this very difficult attack. That being said, I know this is a young adult series so I understand that Alva was trying to keep it short and simple and there are other books past these three so this is not the end of the series. Plus, it does get complicated for children if the story gets too dark.I started this series after all three books had already been released and I think the books work better when read all together.
