Weigh Up Appertaining To Books The Vanishing Sculptor (Valley of the Dragons #1)

What really bothered me about this book were the characters. Each one is self-righteous, except Tipper, who just comes of as the bullied/stupid character.TipperIn the beginning of the book, we're introduced to Tipper and her half-mad mother, Lady Peg, and we see how horrible their life is because of her father disappearing. Tipper cries about it often, but when her father actually does come back, she welcomes him like it was no big deal that he disappeared leaving her and her mother to fend for

Ms Paul always writes a captivating book and this is no exception.

The Dragon spell series is better, but this is good

Not nearly as good as Dragonspell or DragonQuest. I had to drag myself through the beginning chapters. The prose was awkward and didn't flow well, so much so that I was continually pulled away from the story. I'm glad I stuck with the book though, as it improved dramatically towards the end. And I will confess that I squealed like a seven year old when I first heard Fenworth say "Tut tut, oh dear". :) The twist with Jayrus was suprising, but acceptable.

To make ends meet, shes had to discharge most of the workers and sell off her celebrated fathers most cherished works. Her dotty mothers extravagant spending habits dont help, and the wise old Grand Parrot Beccaroon, despite providing invaluable moral support, isnt much of a manager, either.And things are getting worse. Tipper begins

Its not the pomposity of the building thats bothering me, she said. Its the bombastic attitude of the man I must humble myself to.Dont, said Liberettowit, stopping before the elaborate wooden door of the inn and staring seriously into her eyes, Dont ever end your sentences with prepositions.Beccaroon clicked his tongue. Before. I believe the preposition she should not have ended that sentence with would be before instead of to. One humbles oneself before another person, not to.Tipper glared at
