Bones of the Dragon

A Dragonships of Vindras Novel

By: Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman

Narrated by: Stefan Rudnicki

In Bones of the Dragon, Skylan Ivorson is a sea-raider of the Vindras, an undefeated champion of the Torgun clan, and eventually the Chief of Chiefs of all Vindras clans, an honor he truly feels he deserves as one who has been blessed by Skoval, the god of war. But sometimes a blessing is a curse in disguise.

Skoval and the other ancient gods are under siege from a new
generation of gods who are challenging them for the powers of
creation.... and the only way to stop these brash interlopers lies within the mysterious and hidden Five Bones of the Vektan Dragons.

It will be up to the Vindras, the dragon-goddess's champion, to undertake the quest to recover all Five. The fate of the Old Gods and the Vindras' people rests on their recovery, for this is not only a quest to save the world—it is also a quest for redemption.

Filled with heroes and heroines young and old (as well as human and non) spanning locales of exotic adventure in a magic-forged world, the Dragonships of Vindras series fully illustrates the mastery of world-building and storytelling that has made Weis and Hickman into the bestselling fantasy co-authors of all time.

Weis & Hickman do it again

Once more, Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman have created a stunning world just waiting to pull you in. Their eloquent tale combines with Rudnicki's flowing and ear-catching narration make this a story that should not be missed.

This new tale takes you to Vindras, a realm where magic is called from the bones of dragons. Join Skylan Ivorson, blessed and cursed of the gods, in his quest to uncover the bones of the Vektan, an ancient order of elder dragons. Though Skylan is despised by some of the gods, he is their only hope in defeating the new gods who have been brought to the world.

Steeped in Norse mythology, Viking tradition, and Weis & Hickman's own literary magic, Bones of the Dragon is another fantasy masterpiece.

Decent for fans of the authors and genre

This is a decent story. The plot gets more interesting the further into it you get. It feels more like it was written for a younger audience. The telling of the story and sentence structure felt geared towards a juvenile. That could just be my perception. The reader...I found myself growing tired of listening to Worf after a couple hours. Overall, probably more of a 3.5 (when do we get half stars, Audible?). Decent, but not the authors' best work.

Overall Good Book

The book itself was very good. Like most narraters it takes a bit to get used to them at the start, and character voices they portray. After about fifteen minutes I was pulled into the story and the voices. I highly recommend this book.

Great book

Loved the book. Wish audible had the second book in series available. The authors once again failed to disappoint. Narrator was incredible.

Part of a book series...love the authors!

Love the authors! I hate that people leave reviews after not finishing a book.....if its not your thing ...then fine....but dont leave a bad review.
