I will admit that when I started reading this book, I thought I was on the wrong one! Mainly because the synopsis is all about Valla, but when it starts, it's about Hathos instead. However, this quickly sorts itself out as Valla arrives back home, still searching for that elusive something. When Hathos tells her that he has seen a vision of her accompanying him on a mission to the south, she jumps at the chance.

In Dragon Soul, you mainly get Valla and Vadin, but then you do get parts of Hathos and Oliana too. I loved how this was written, at the slowly developing relationship between the two pairs, even in dire circumstances. Of them all, Vadin has the most difficult journey, but with Valla by his side, he can conquer anything - even his own fears.

Very well written, smooth and well-paced, this is the perfect ending to the Dragon Clan Trilogy. I have been lucky enough to read all three and from my personal experience, can definitely recommend all three.

Great prequel to Silence of the Lambs
This star-studded film is a brilliant sequel / prequel to Silence of the Lambs, unlike the other films in the franchise. It's not overly gory and it focuses on character development. The plot is well-done and the acting is superb. Of course Anthony Hopkins, Ralph Fiennes, Emily Watson and Edward Norton get a special mention. It's a dark tale about a forensic detective attempting to trace a serial killer who has a penchant for murdering whole families all the while 'transforming' into the Red Dragon.
  
An imaginative story of dragons and a poor, plain girl named Creel. This is an excellent read for not only school age children but also adults. I loved the new take on dragons and what they all hoard instead of gold and jewels. The descriptions of dragons as well as Creel's dress work was vivid and believable. I could really place myself there with Creel and go through what she was going through, even down to her itchy feet while wearing her blue dragon slippers. Recommended! I can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series.
  
So the cover and synopsis looked and sounded amazing for this book. .. Unfortunately it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I was expecting. ...more. I'm not sure exactly but I felt like it was missing stuff. I also didn't know it was the 2nd in the serious which might be what I'm missing. I feel like it was long enough to learn the characters then ends. It was good. . The plot has amazing potential to be even more and the characters caught me. I was just wishing for more Dragon I think. Overall not a bad book.

"I think there’s something anarchic about it, which appealed to me as a kid, and appeals to me now. It’s Terry Gilliam, a phenomenal imagination, some brilliant performances. I think there’s something, obviously, very enticing and compelling about the story of a little boy swept up into a foreign land, having an extraordinary experience. I think that journey is kind of at the root of a lot of sci-fi narratives, and it’s easy to see the appeal. That kind of vicarious journey that you get to go on, but not actually experience, like the jaws of the dragon. It’s a thrill."
