Kale is used to being treated like the village slave she is. But when she is inexplicably drawn to the egg of a minor (small) dragon her life changes drastically. The village elders decide to send her to the Hall to be trained under Paladin as a recognized servant of Wulder and to learn how she is to defeat the evil wizard.
Though geared toward younger adults and teens, I enjoyed this book immensely. The allegory found in this book is along the same lines as in C.S. Lewis’ The Chronicles of Narnia series. The character Wulder is the Creator of the world and Paladin is his son, while the wizard Risto is the lover of darkness and evil. Both Wulder and Paladin are portrayed as very kind, loving and always there when you need them, although not interfering. These themes are woven into the story very nicely so as not to blatantly preach. This is one book that is a definite must-read with a huge thumbs-up from me!
Thumbs Up!
