5.0 out of 5 stars Didn't expect to empathize with The Copper
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2014
Verified Purchase
The first three books in the series focus (individually) on the three siblings, telling things from their point of view while weaving a larger plot, and I found myself completely surprised by this book — I didn’t think I could have any sympathy for The Copper, but his point of view as told in this book made me want to reach through the pages and give him a hug.

Definitely worth the time, though to provide full disclosure without giving away the plot, the quality of the last 2 books in the series took a marked step down from the first 4 (plot errors, typos, character inconsistencies, etc). I'd still read it though I wish the series had a stronger ending.

E. E. Knight knows how to write and make you feel as though you are a part of the story! Dragons don't even feel as alien as those darn hominoids!! What a great series...anyone who enjoys books about dragons will love this! Anyone who enjoys fantasy will enjoy it, too. It is a very different take on scifi/fantasy and a terrific one, in my opinion! Thanks E.E. - I don't know which I like better - this series or the Valentine Vampire Earth series...decisions, decisions, thank goodness I can read them all.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent book in a wonderful series of books
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2014

excellent book in a wonderful series of books. the whole series is a great read. the first three books in the series all occur at the same time, from different perspectives. then the story takes off together in the fourth book. I don't want to give away anything, but I will give this series a must read status. I will look for other works by this author.

4.0 out of 5 stars A tale of redemption bogged down by name overload
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2023
Verified Purchase
Like the previous two books, Dragon Outcast follows a surviving sibling from the clutch of eggs, in this case it is the "copper" that gave away the location of the cave. The first two books depict him as a vengeful outcast that betrayed his family out of spite... until we see his perspective, and learn that the justifiable reason: his mother forcing him away for no good reason.

Cast down into a vast subterranean tunnel network, in a recurring theme, the Copper finds unexpected allies in his quest for survival and overcoming his physical limitations.

Now, out of the three origin arcs, while still satisfying, this book has the most flaws. Without spoiling anything, the Copper meets dragons. Lots of dragons. And almost all have lengthy, polysyllabic names that blend together, forcing me to read back to remind myself who is who Side characters suddenly pop up in conversations without proper introductions that had me flipping back a couple chapters to see if they had appeared earlier. Here, Knight's fairly basic descriptions could really use some additional fleshing out.

Another narrative choice that surprised me was handling the main character's name. Originally nameless, the Copper is given a new name by his peers, but for whatever reason, the narration continues to refer to him as "the Copper" instead of his new name, which is strange.

5.0 out of 5 stars Survival isn't pretty.
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2013

A gritty and compelling tale of an outcast scorned and crippled at birth; betrayed and left to die atop a cairn built of his own mother's corpse. This wretched creative's struggle for survival turns into a struggle against intrigue and murder as the fate of an underground kingdom balances upon his scarred shoulders.

I read this on a whim, being a lover of dragons, and found myself enthusiastic to find out what happened next. I like the author's ideas on dragon physiology and psychology, though my own differ. I'll be reading this again in the near future.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dragon Outcast Book 3 Review . . .
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2016

I was kind of Hoping and sort of predicting what wold hapen in this book, i wont spoil it for you. Spoilers "But basicaly wen i finished reading Dragon Avenger i kind of had the idea that there wold be a third Survivir hachling and that made me kind of mad cause i did not want to reead a nother storry of how this guy/girl came to be..."

Anyways Spoilers aside sorry about that. . . it is still a good book is just the start i felt it was a bit aquard knowing already what happened, and that is probably made this book fell a bit SLOW. . . after all of that it starts to pick up it's slack doe and turns in to a killing machine witch mind you i mean that metaphorically,
Anyways is a good Read if you got the time go ahead and pick it up and also read the previous books, although i don't think it maters if you red the previous 2 books i wold recommend you do so just so you don't get lost...

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing
Reviewed in Canada on August 7, 2014

I am a big fan of E.E. Knight and the Age of Fire Book series. I feel that the author is able to sculpt a beautiful, dangerous world that is refreshing to read. Years back I emailed the author asking questions about some books as it had been awhile between releases and I had forgotten what happened in previous books. To my surprise I received a personalized email back from him re-iterating key plot points. This kind of attention to fans is why I will continue to follow any work he produces.

Book Three, much like the first two, starts at the same point from a different perspective. I really enjoyed this book, and although at times the main character can be seen by evil, the author did a great job at having me empathize for him.

This was order alongside several other books of this series. This package did arrive a little earlier than the expected date however I was delighted that it did. Was surprised when it was only partially dispatched but understood the reasoning behind it, the other half arrived shortly after. Product quality was spot on and packaging was adequate for what was sent. All in all a nice experience and will be doing business more in the future.
