I'm a huge fan of the Sword of Truth series, but was a little disappointed in this book. Not that it's a bad book, but it lacked the depth of his others (it is quite short to be fair) and doesn't really add anything to the series. Maybe we learn a bit about how hard it was for Zed during the war with D'hara. In sum, a forgettable light read.

If you're a crafty dragon fan (and really, who isn't?) this book is a great resource. With dragons of all kinds (scaled and feathered) and in all kinds of poses, plus tips on shading and coloring, you can make the dragon of your dreams. I used it to create a faux stained glass window, my daughter uses it as inspiration to draw her own pencil creations. Frankly, we haven't really even gone over the text yet!

We had occasionally watched Stargate episodes, but always ran into changing time slots and re-runs. We liked the show, but lost any sense of continuity because we missed so many episodes.
What a difference watching episodes and years consecutively! Not only have we become rabid fans but our two kids are now huge fans too. The scripts are funny and with so many inside jokes, jokes that are lost when you watch only an episode here and there. We've decided that this is the only way to watch a series, forget the reruns and missed weeks. We are only sad that we've become fans of a dead series. But hey, there's always Atlantis.

I remember when Kimba was shown on Canadian television. I loved the series then and the theme song stuck with me for years. The jacket insert is very interesting to read. Kimba was in the public domain when Disney "created" the Lion King and the borrowed elements are obvious.
My kids (ages 8 and 12) are fast becoming fans. They are working through the 52 episodes, each 20 minutes long, with no sign of boredom yet. They love the stories and the characters. If you're planning a long car trip this summer, with over 17 hours of episodes this is a must have.
