| | | "In Watt-Evans's stirring conclusion to his high fantasy Obsidian Chronicles (after "Dragon Weather and "The Dragon Society), the swashbuckling story line builds to a twist ending sure to leave the author's fans smiling."-- "Publishers Weekly on "Dragon Venom "Watt-Evans concludes his formidably complex and intelligent trilogy about Arlian the dragon-slayer ("Dragon Weather, "The Dragon Society, and this book) with Arlian wreaking the last of his vengeance on dragonkind. This book is as rich in incident and idea as its predecessors, but if you are looking for easy reading or sauntering into Watt-Evans' three-volume roadshow for the bang-up ending, it won't be obliging. Instead, it is challenging enough to raise some questions about the ethics of some classic devices of high fantasy within the context of a very good high fantasy: this one."--"Booklist on "Dragon Venom Annotation: As a boy, Arlian accidentally swallowed the combination of blood and dragon venom that turns a person into a dragonheart--a strong, extremely long-lived being with a diminishing amount of humanity as the years pass. He hates what he has become, and for years, he has pursued vengeance against the dragons. Now, as he explores the mysterious link between humans, dragons, and magic, he realizes that his vendetta may have had unintended consequences to the world around him.
