Review: Tristan is growing up
Rating: 5 out of 5

I've really enjoyed reading both the Dragonblade books. They are quick moving, light fantasy novels with dragons, wizards, and young protagonists trying to make sense of the world. Tablet of the Sun is a little darker as the older Tristan is wrestling with more serious life issues, but it still has the same outlook and worldview as the first novel, Amulet.  Thoral is called upon to leave his comfort zone and see what it's like to be in charge.  Thoral is my favorite character, so I liked him having a bigger part.I like the mysteries woven into the story.  There are a couple of time paradoxes that really kept me trying to figure things out, and new characters (including the Dwarves) are introduced.  I really liked the Dwarves.:)Another reviewer mentioned that bad guys and good guys aren't always predictable.  I like that, too, and I think it shows that people change and grow and struggle on a daily basis.  That's one of the best things about these novels.  The people feel real.Both Amulet and Tablet of the Sun are edited a lot better than most indie Kindle freebies I've gotten.
