Author: Craig Shaw Gardner
Review: These three novels, above all others, out rank all other sci-fi/fantasy books. It surpasses the Lord of the Rings, all of the Pern series, and just about everything else I have read.

Perhaps the reason for these books being as good as they are is because it was the author's cross-over to other book types. Mainly, Craig Shaw Gardner wrote comedy books before, but, as he crossed over to the horror world, he produced this. Not only is it a story about fantasy, but it is a story about good and evil. I am not talking about the bland, cut-and-and-dry good vs. evil conflicts you've probably read before. I am talking of a book that has well-rounded characters.

In addition to the characters, the setting is totally amazing. When I first began reading the novel, I believed it would be about a kid called Nick and two soceriors Nunn and Obar. However, the story is told through every character, meaning you know who each person is and why they are what they are when the book begins.

Read these books! Dragon Sleeping, Dragon Waking, and Dragon Burning. It is a truly great series.
