When I first picked up Dragonspell I fell in love. The first three books I thought were great, I fell in love with just about all the characters and considered it a great unique read. Kale was by far the most believable character and I loved Paladin and all of their adventures.

However, I'm probably the only one but I felt the series lacked from Dragonfire to Dragonlight. I was kind of disappointed. I felt some of the characters lost substance and I felt the writing was a little choppy in the fourth one.

But Dragonlight I felt was better than the fourth novel. I felt it was more romantic between Bardon and Kale and I was happy with it overall. Bardon annoyed me in this book a lot. He comes of too preachy and I kept saying "shut up Bardon" in my head. Kale again I felt was wonderful. She never lost her spunky personality and I felt she was always the one messing up and Bardon was too perfect and I felt a "that's it?" feeling at the end of Dragonlight.

I really rate it 3.5. I thought it was very solid and very spiritual and very clean (of course it targeted a younger audience). But wish there was more of a real feeling when I read it. I'm not trying to down the series but I felt it lacking toward the end that's all. *dodges thrown objects* Other than that I did enjoy it for it being very wholesome :-). I will definitely read other books by Donita K. Paul!

Ah, the end of the series, a bitter sweet feeling indeed. Join Kale and Bardon again as they journey with Regidor and Gilda to find the lost Meech community, and to save Amara from a new order that seem to contradict everything Wulder and Paladin stand for.

A heart wrenching story that will take you to places you never thought were possible. This was the perfect ending to the series and is great for all ages. This book has so many elements that I can only scratch the surface of what it is like. To find out more just read the book and have a wonderful time, though it is recommended to start with the first book in the series.

This was a great ending to the Dragonkeeper Chronicles. I was kind of disappointed that it was ending, but I can't wait for the new series.

The conclusion to Donita K. Paul's Dragon Keeper Chronicles tends to make you stay up till 3:00 AM reading. Amara is (finally) a peaceful nation under the rule of Paladin. Kale Allerion and her husband Bardon decide to, with the Meeches Regidor and Gilda, to discover the Meech Colony in the Northern Reaches to present Gilda's egg. Little did they know that they would encounter The Followers (a nasty bunch if I do say so myself) and Mot Angra, a black dragon the size of a mountain. The perfect blend of character, humor, and action, Mrs. Paul end her best-selling series with a roar.

My son that does not like to read, likes read these books. Thank you to the write.

Just like DragonFire, I bought this one right away, without beating around the bush to get it from the library to see how good it was. I just knew it'd be great. And I was right!

Characters that were absent from DragonFire have returned. Some for brief glimpses, others to be a whole story line in themselves.

I've mentioned in all of my reviews of the other books that they contain deep characters, deeper story lines, and messages of truth. This one surpasses all the rest with its message of truth. Far surpasses. This is a message that everybody needs to hear, and hear it soon. I cannot wait to read what Donita K. Paul writes next. I am certain that I will buy it right away.

This series is one of the best that I have read for Youth fantasy. In fact, this is the first time that I have even written a review, it is that good! I highly recommend it!

From the beginning of the conclusion to the series I was excited and looking forward to what the pages would hold. Kale and her husband are going on a quest to help their friend, Regidor and his wife. They find the lost colony of Meech dragons. Regidor wants to find the colony because his wife is about to have an egg, and they want to leave the egg among their own kind.
When they find the colony. they must also deal with misleading teachings about ho to follow Wulder. Athere are also mysterious swarms of black dragons that seem desire to hurt Kale.

This was a great ending to a great series! Very exciting, encouraging and captivating. I highly recommend the series.

This is the fifth book in the series Dragon Keeper Chronicles. I have not read the first four, and I was concerned about feeling lost. However, Dragon Light stands well alone.
The tiny dragons fascinated and enchanted me. There are subtle Christian overtones to the plot. Donita K. Paul's is an extremely talented author. She has created a world from her imagination and successfully managed to draw readers into her world.
I intend to read the whole series in order. Fans of fantasy will enjoy DragonLight. This book will interest both youth and adults alike.

This is the last book in the DragonKeeper series. The series started out with Kale finding out that she had the ability to find dragon eggs, and bond with the dragons once they hatched. She also found that she had the talent to be a wizard. The first four books chronicled her adventures as she learned to trust in Wulder(God), and all the various life lessons you learn when on fantastic quests. This series, unlike many others, actually has Kale grow up age wise. In the first book she is barely a teenager. In this one, she is in her twenties.

The basic storyline is of Kale and her husband of a few years, going on a quest to help their friend, Regidor and his wife, find the lost colony of Meech dragons. Regidor wants to find the colony because his wife is about to have an egg, and they want to leave the egg among their own kind.

Of course in addition to finding the colony, they have to figure out what is going on with a group of people claiming to teach a better way to follow Wulder. And then there is the mysterious swarms of black dragons that seem to have an mean desire to hurt Kale. Plus, Kale's ward Toopka, is acting strange.

So, there is lots of adventure to make the story enjoyable.

The DragonKeeper series does not seem to attempt to be a perfect allegory. Wulder is obviously God, but Paladin, the character most like Jesus, seems more like an Old Testament Judge. I think I'll have to reread the other books to see for sure.

Another thing that makes this series different is that Paul's writing doesn't focus on the action as much as the interaction. It most stories I have read, the focus is on how the characters beat the bad guy. In this story, the focus is on how the characters act while they beat the bad guy. As a result, it becomes very obvious that it is Wulder that has orchestrated the entire adventure. Just like God orchestrates our lives, even in times of trouble.

DragonLight is an excellent end to the series. It brings Kale's story to an good stopping point, and leaves room for new stories. I recommend DragonLight to anyone who has read the rest of the series. I also recommend the entire series to anyone who likes fantastic adventures. Young kids will enjoy them read out loud, older kids will enjoy reading them, and adults can enjoy reading them as well as long as they relax and be childlike for a while.

So, go out and pick up a copy, and then sit down and enjoy a good read.

Wow!!! I have been looking forward to reading this book for a year, bought it a little more than a week ago, and just finished reading it today. I guess I will give you a brief look into it. Kale and Bardon are a happy couple living in their new castle, taking care of what needs to be taken care of. Bardon comes home from visiting some friends to relieve him of the stake's pains. He says that they are going on an adventure to help Regidor and Gilda find the meech colony before Gilda presents her egg. They start the adventure, and spend at least a month traveling North, getting attacked by tiny black dragons that sting and burn, stay at a village that has an earth quake and destroys the homes, and have to rescue Holt, the young marione who was in DragonKnight, from a prison in a village called Paladise, whose people there pretend to be followers of Paladin, but really lead people away from him, steal, and keep them from the joys of life, including children, entertainment, colorful clothes, and many other things. Join Kale, Bardon, Regidor, Gilda, Toopka, and the dragons as they go on another fantastic adventure that change the lives of the people in Amara!

This book does not disappoint!

From the first chapter I could tell this would be a fantastic read. In fact, once I finally managed to get a copy I couldn't put it down. I read the entire novel cover-to-cover in a day! This is the first book in two years I have done that with.

Donta K. Paul did a fantastic job wrapping up Kale's incredible tale. Quite honestly, I am so glad I stuck out with the entire series - DragonSpell I did not enjoy, DragonQuest is still my favorite, DragonKnight was fantastic, DragonFire a small disappointment, but DragonLight was absolutely stellar!

The entire series is well worth reading! Paul even manages to throw a few plot twists that (after looking back) I still can't see coming. Looking forward to her next project!

Awesome book!

This is the final account of Kale, Bardon, Regidor, Gilda, and Toopka's adventures.
If your looking for a story with a little action, a little romance, and allot of surprises this is the book for you!
I started reading it and couldn't put it down.

I had long awaited to read this final addition but in the way of Toopka I could help but wonder what was she (the author)thinking. I personally need more of a believable past (even in fantasy) leading up to one of my favorite characters. Sad to say, but I did enjoy everything else in the book except for that.

My biggest hesitation going into the Dragon Keeper Chronicles was the target age group. I got the impression that the books were written to be appropriate for and understandable to children and young adults... hardly a series that will help a college junior keep up her "grown-up" appearance! ;)

Since I started reading, Kale and her companions have kept me up half the night over and over from the beginning of the series to this very satisfying finish. I feel as though I truly know these characters, and I wish I had my own pack of colourful minor dragons to accompany me wherever I go. The Christian allegorical storylines occasionally feel cliché, but the author handles this well and I have never once felt that it was overdone.

I definitely recommend this book for anyone looking to read a clean, uplifting series with exciting storylines and memorable characters who truly draw you in.

this is a great book!! i loved it! it is kinda the end but she is making another series that will link to this one.

hope this helps!

For the first time in decades the world is at peace. Dragon Keeper Kale is busy taking care of baby dragons since peace has brought a population explosion in that race wheras before they were dying in mortal combat. One day Kalie's husband Bordan sees a village where empty space used to be. He lands his dragon and talks to the leaders whose villagers call themselves Followers. They say they are spreading the word of the Creator Wuldor with the permission of his voice Paladin.

Bordan hears a fairie hole in the leaders voice and he sees no children and it looks like a boot camp. He doesn't have time to investigate further because he plans on taking his wife on a quiet vacation. They are going to a hidden Meech community so their fellow traveler Gilda can leave her egg to be hatched at a time of the commune's choosing. The journey is not an easy one as they are constantly attacked by small black lethal dragonets and have to deal with Followers who have spread across the land. When they reach their destination they face another battle and only with Wulder's help twill might win against an overwhelming evil.

This is the fifth and last book in Donita K. Paul's dragon series and it answers all the major threads left from the previous entries. DRAGONLIGHT is an action-packed fantasy thriller starring wonderful characters who insure readers can believe in dragons. The story line is engrossing and the world feels genuine, but as with the rest of the saga, it is soaring with dragons alongside Bordan and Kalie that make this a superb thriller.

Dragonlight by Donita K. Paul is not a book I was prepared to enjoy. It's fantasy, not my favorite genre, and it's the fifth (and last) book in a series. With those two strikes against it, I decided to give it a couple of chapters before giving up on it entirely. But within the first few pages, Kale and her army of tiny dragons enchanted me. I kept putting the book down intending to be finished with it, but I couldn't stop reading it. DragonKeeper Kale and husband Sir Bardon live on the island of Amara, which is populated by several different races and a variety of dragons. A very helpful glossary in included at the end that I found myself flipping to often. Kale and Bardon follow the teachings of Wulder, the creator of their world, whose ways are being reinstated throughout the land. They travel into the Northern Reaches to help some meech dragons find their homeland, investigate a mysterious dragon the size of a mountain, as well as a new cult-like group that has sprung up recently throughout the kingdom. Lots of plot packed into this terrific book. Paul creates engaging characters who make the fantasy world come to life. I definitely plan on going back to read the rest of this series, as well as the new books coming out in 2009 also based in this world. Don't let any preconceived notions scare you away from this book; it's a wonderful read!
