Book Description

15 April 1999

Kate Elliott's KING'S DRAGON launched a magnificent new epic fantasy. Now, with PRINCE OF DOGS, one of the most exciting fantasy series of recent years continues . . .

Sanglant - the prince of dogs, King Henry's bastard son - is being held captive in the city of Gent by Bloodheart, The Eika warlord. Liath, now one of the King's Eagles - and still grieving over the loss of Sanglant - is desperately trying to unlock the secrets of her own past. Unless she masters her powers she may prove a grave danger to everyone, herself included. Alain, now proclaimed a Count's heir, is increasingly troubled by visions of the enemy he befriended and the Lady of Battles whom he's sworn to serve. And Fifth Brother, least favoured son of Bloodheart, has returned to the lands of his own people to unite the scattered tribes and build an army to do his father's bidding.

While King Henry continues this progress through his troubled realm, Sanglant, Liath, Alain and Fifth Brother fight their own individual battles. Only time will tell who will prove triumphant as all of them are caught up in the dangers and turmoil of a world at war . . .

Product Description

Review

A break-out book for Kate Elliott . . . What really counts are her characters. Well-drawn and vivid, they come alive as both people from a very foreign place and people we care about. They keep the plot moving irresistibly forward and draw us into her work. The book is solid, exciting and engrossing - a grand and powerful piece of writing (Katharine Kerr )

The first book in what promises to be a gripping and enthralling fantasy epic (The TIMES )

Book Description

Volume two of Crown of Stars, a richly realised epic fantasy from one of the genre's shining new lights

4.0 out of 5 stars A developer 4 Nov 2003
Format:Paperback
This book deepens our knowledge of the main characters such as Liath and expands on the plot greatly. However, even more unaswered questions are raised which leaves us hoping the next installment will bring us some information about various mysterious events that happen in dreams and suchlike. It is quite hard to grasp the many different storylines of the many characters, and try and piece them all together to guess where the plot is going. Still, I was kept interested in most places- the problem with Elliott's writing is that she launches into huge detail about battle scenes, scenery etc. which makes the story hard to focus on. It may be wise to indulge in a bit of skim reading in the more longwinded places. The thing that stops you putting the book down in frustration are the bits where an event occurs and suddenly a few questions are answered and the plot races down whole new path! For those wonderful places, which are actually not too thinly spread, I really recommend continuing the series with this book, just remember to skim when you're bored!

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as the first... 27 Sep 2000
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This book was just as good as the first one, and equally as descriptive. It stimulated emotion in no way any other seris of books has. It has no element of "sequel letdown" and I was surprised. I read it in the time it took to get from London to Salisbury and back! Recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Rich and colourful. A thoroughly enjoyable book. 31 Dec 1999
Format:Paperback
Having read and thoroughly enjoyed King's Dragon I looked forward eagerly to this sequel and was not disappointed. The richly textured world introduced in King's Dragon is a subtle and well structured background for the many excellently well drawn, interesting and believable characters. The spare and elegant style is a pleasure to read with no annoying anachronisms. The main characters continue to develop and are never boringly stereoptyped or obvious although they fulfil all the requirements for heroic fantasy. Haunted Liath struggling to control her dangerous magical abilities while evading the machinations of the beautiful and psycopathic Hugh contrasts with compassionate, sensible Alain. The pragmatic King Henry and calculating Lavastine are perfect foils for their sons, the courageous and passionate Sanglant and Alain. The savagely intelligent Eika prince is fascinating and Hanna, Rosvita, Ivor and a host of other minor characters are drawn as surely interestingly and convincingly as the major players in an exciting historical fantasy that compares well in depth and variety with Silverburg's Majipoor and is as colourful and exciting as Guy Gavriel Kay's Fionovar.

The plots and subplots are subtly interwoven and convincing and the only criticism I have is that the book doesnt't stand alone but needs the first and third volumes. I need the third volume! More please and thanks to Ms Elliot for a brilliant read.
