I first posted my review on Redheart
at Book
Review: Redheart by Jackie Gamber on Blogcritics which will
theoretically get me more traffic on my posts.
I still don’t know if that is true.
Sela is every bit as good as Redheart and deals
with the coming of age of some young dragons.
The cast of characters and
location are familiar in this book. Leland
is the province where Kallon Redheart, a red dragon, resides. The province is in a drought and tensions
between dragons and humans are at an all time high. Fordon Blackclaw, the Dragon Council Leader,
is using the tensions to further his personal ambitions. Riza Diantus epitomizes or perhaps
symbolizes the plight of the woman in un-enlightened cultures. That is making the assumption that we live in
an enlightened culture which isn’t always guaranteed. Equal opportunity often seems to be a cliché
not realized in our tumultuous economic environment of today let alone in a
rural agriculture set in a medieval style setting.
Jastin, the dragon hunter, returns
as merciless as ever and the wizard, Orman is here again.
There are new characters as
well. Drell and Sela are second
generation characters who bring new viewpoints to a tumultuous story.
There are dragons of all colors. Desert dragons and mountain dragons, good
dragons and bad dragons, the book are infested with dragons. That is one of the reasons I loved it.
Gamber has created loveable
and despicable characters. She imbues
them with real feelings, emotions and frustrations. Jackie Gamber brings alive dragons and
adventure with colorful, involved storytelling. Once again, the warm characters and very
believable emotions produce a book that will be remembered and cherished.
I highly recommend the book,
it was an excellent sequel and I look fervently for the next chapter in the tale.
