Just started reading King's Dragon, never read anything by Kate Elliot before. I wasn't sure if I was even going to get it, but I recognized Alia's name on the second page and then I had to know.  |
Yup, that's my name sake... I have to admit I like Alia in the books, especially in the proluge when Kate writes 'She lied.' I thought 'Oooooo' and didn't stop reading those books until I was finished. As Earos said, there are some parts that will bogg you down, just keep reading. It's worth the time. Big quesiton is trying to figure out who Alain is... good luck on that one A|one.

Knowing that, would you recommend the Jaren series to me?

Well, I have only read the first book and a few pages into the second one. They are nothing like the Crown of Stars series. I happen to be a Genghis Khan fan (long story) and saw alot of him in the setting of this story. My recommendation is to read the first book. I liked it, but again it isn't anything like the CofS. In fact it's a SciFi... I honestly can 'highly' recommend it, but it is a good read. I have a friend who read all four currently out, she said that the first one and fourth one are great, and she highly recommended them to me. She didn't care for the two middle ones as much... Anyhoo... I hope that helps Earos...
