5.0 out of 5 stars A New World of Dragons, 10 Oct 2003
By A. K. L. Pryde (Aberdeen, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Joust is yet another stunning novel from Mercedes Lackey. Set in a new world with well crafted characters that pluck the heart-strings and make you contemplate the power of a dream.

Here is a world in which two nations war, Vetch is the young Altan serf who amazingly finds himself a dragon boy, caring for a Tian dragon. His is the single "tame" dragon in a compound where the dragons are drugged to the teeth, literally!! In Lackey's world, dragons are not the intelligent creatures we see in so many fanasty novels, rather they are large raptors, very, very large raptors!! Nor does her world contain the traditional overtones of Medieval Europe instead is a wonderful mix of Egypt and the myths of Altantis.

This book is a refreshing change, and one that I recommend to fanasty lovers and those new to the genre. I am eagerly awaiting the sequel, Alta.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT!!, 13 Feb 2006
This review is from: Joust (Dragon Jousters - Book 1) (Paperback)
Once more a novel from Mercedes Lackey that keeps you enthralled from start to finish, with characters that jump out from the page and grab you. Dragons are still interesting and given a whole new slant that makes you want to know more. Please, please keep them coming!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Joust a new world to look, 12 Oct 2003
By A Customer
Joust is certainly another way to look at a world where dragons live, not only for the fact that they are considered as normal animals to be taimed and used but also by the unique perspective of how they are treated and the society that rouse around them and their riders.
It is certainly a book to read.
