Summary: dragons and elves and halfbloods oh my!
Comment: this is one of thhe best books i have ever read. lately ive been on an anne mccaffery fix, so im a dragon person. i saw the cover w/ a dragon on it. and bought it on a whim. i couldnt put it down after that. all other commitments were forgotten. all i wanted to dfo was delv into the world of shana, a halfblood, a wizard, elven dad, human mom. theres a beautiful mixture of characters. elves, dragons, wizards, humans, even unicorn (aka one-horns) are mentioned.the character development of all is exquisit. and their interactions superb. i tell you i have read fantasy books all my life. and i love the bled of common fantasy elements with new twists and turns. i would recommend this book to all people. elf lovers, dragon lovers, magic lovers, everyone will love this book.

Summary: Great Read!
Comment: This is the best out of all the five Andre Norton books I've read.Thank God Norton wasn't influenced by Lackey's poor writing style.
Many new ideas were introduced in this book ,such as dragon's shedding and shapeshifting, and elves being thouroughly evil.Cultural development was also included,for both dragons and elves,and many new creatures were introduced,such as grels,one-horns,two-horns,three-horns ,and loupers.Anyone who likes detailed stuff,is sure to like this.
Evil characters were realistically portraited.They did terrible things ,such as beating slaves to death,owning concubines,and immediatly making a halfbreed a slave.They were very easy to hate.
Serina Daeth,the concubine of the elvenlord Dyran,escapes from the keep,pregnant with a halfbreed child.She is found by the dragon Kin,who adopt her child(Serina died of childbirth)and name her Shana.As she grows to a woman,she finds that she has magical powers .Then her life is changed forever.

Summary: A poor blend of two worlds...
Comment: Well written in some ways. But, like the main character herself, the book seemed like two separate worlds shoved together. The Elven side of the world, and the Kin side. I recommend it for reading, perhaps, but not buying. Check your local library.
The ending was a bit anticlimatic, and even before I knew from looking online, I could tell it had 'sequels will follow' written all over it.
