From Publishers Weekly

In this first volume in a new epic fantasy series, prolific bestseller Stackpole (The Warrior Trilogy; The Blood of Kerensky Trilogy; eight Star Wars novels; etc.) immediately draws the reader into Yslin a city in a dark world menaced by a tyrant princess, Chytrine. Like all those subject to her control, Will, a young thief, despises Chytrine. True to fantasy form, Will views his life of crime as merely another profession, as ancient and honorable as that of barber or innkeeper. In fact, his highest ambition is to be placed in a league with "the Azure Spider," his hero. As such, he is surprised to find that destiny has a far greater role for him to play. His theft of a "silver" leaf seems to excite more of a reaction from its original owner than it should. Although it appears to be made of indestructible metal, it holds the suppleness and warmth of a real leaf. Its owner, like the princess Chytrine, is a Vorquelf. Will has been taught a hatred of Vorquelves by the man who took him in the Fagin-like Marcus. So he's mightily surprised when he's rescued from the leaf's owner by a Vorquelf named Resolute. With Resolute and Crow, a human, as companions, Will eventually finds his way to a blind Vorquelf, who paints the future into the murals of her cave. The coming of the thief, Will the Nimble, has been foretold. But whether he is to be that world's savior or destroyer is unknown even to himself. As usual, Stackpole provides a compelling and engaging escape. (Dec. 4)The Dark Glory War (2000).

From Library Journal

Will the Nimble, an orphaned thief, attempts a grand theft and falls instead into the hands of a warrior called Crow and a refugee Vorquelf named Resolute who recognize the young man as the fulfillment of a prophecy. Hoping to overthrow the tyrant Chytrine and prevent her from acquiring the DragonCrown, Will and his newfound companions set out for the Fortress Draconis. Stackpole's series opener introduces his cast of heroes and villains and lays the groundwork for successive adventures. A solid addition to the epic fantasy genre, this title belongs in most libraries.

5.0étoiles sur 5 one generation after the prelude novel [no spoilers], Jui 6 2004
"Fortress Draconis" is the first novel in The DragonCrown War Cycle series approximately one generation following "The Dark Glory War" prelude novel. It is a spectacular book filled with creative battles, detailed descriptions, and interesting characters.

One could understand the novel without having read the prelude, but the continuing characters have a history and the small details will be lost on those who don't invest the time. There is mystery on other individual fates from the prelude novel, hopefully to be resolved in the future novels. It is curious to note how countries and people change and/or remain the same over the 25-year difference.

I found the novel better than the predecessor in all things. It has imaginative magic and great encounters. Two youngsters, Kerrigan and Wilburforce, are interesting to follow as they mature with the events unfolding, likewise Alyx with her unusual background. General Androgans and Dranae are intriguing enigmas while Resolute and Kedyn's Crow form an awesome fighting duo with personal limitations.

I highly recommend this series to any fan of the fantasy genre and look forward to reading the future novels.

Thank you.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Good start, Déc 11 2003
Par David "dtstrange" (Pleasant Hill, CA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Fortress Draconis: Book One of the DragonCrown War Cycle (Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would encourage anyone looking for a nice light read to pick it up. I disagree with the assessment that one must read "Dark Glory War" prior to this one. I did not and understood the plot very well. I did pick up Dark Glory War in the bookstore AFTER I read Fortress Draconis and in all honesty, it did not seem as interesting nor did it appear to be as well written. I want to stress that Stackpole is not trying to imitate Tolkein or here with this story, although the usual Tolkein plot devices are there. It is very action oriented and the characters are very predictable and seem to be very typical of the types of characters that pop up in these books. There's the "Orphaned Thief who is really a Subject of Prophecy", a "Mysterious Long Lived, Wise, White Guy with a Beard" who provides guidance a la Gandalf, there's also the "Buxom, Sword-Wielding Babe" who fills out her breast plate, yet can hold her own. Best of all, there's plenty of bad guys, to include those wonderful types that seem to exist by the millions, even though they are extremely easy to kill. Juar like Orcs. The Prime Bad Guy is actually a Bad Girl, but her gender is more or less ignored by the book. She has Nazgul like assistants who do all her duty work, one of whom talks in clever rhyme.

Like I said, not a bad read, lots of fun, one can hope this won't turn out to be another Wheel of Time series and last until we all die of old age. Enjoy.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Somewhat of a disappointment, Sep 3 2003
Par H. Alan Rosenberg "dolphins34" (Atlanta, GA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I went into this book with the highest of expectations. i really enjoyed the Dark Glory War a lot and couldn't wait to see what happened. i'll tell you what happened...not a lot....lots of traveling back and forth from place to place without much action in between. Although the ending picked up a bit, i really missed the action and adventure and excitement from the first book. Although I'll definitely read the next book (i already own it) it'll probably be awhile. overall I thought this book was about 300 pages too long...there was no need for this book to have been 700 pages long. I loved the swords and socerery and fighting and action of the first book soo much, i can't say enough how disappointed i was in this book. I hope the action and excitement picks up in the next volume. By the way could the character of Kerrigan be any more boring???? Sorry Michael but I expected more...
