Review: Dragon Killer is a great entry in the fantasy genre

For my first foray into the fantasy genre I chose Rob May's Dragon Killer, figuring that it was quite short, so at least I wouldn't be stuck too long on something I wasn't really into. Imagine my surprise when my main complaint about the book is that it was too short. May gives us a great heroine in Kalina Moonheart, and an even better bad guy, Gron Darklaw. In fact, Darklaw's back-story could make a terrific book of its own. And there is, of course, a fierce dragon killing and destroying all in its way. The fictional world is realistically detailed, the action scenes are taut and exciting, without being too gory, and the writing isn't too flowery or corny. But, it all ends much too soon, as if it's only a part of a much larger epic that remains to be told. May obviously believes in the old adage of always leaving your audience wanting more.
