Synopsis

In Bones of the Dragon, Skylan Ivorson is a sea-raider of the Vindras, an undefeated champion of the Torgun clan, and eventually the Chief of Chiefs of all Vindras clans, an honor he truly feels he deserves as one who has been blessed by Skoval, the god of war. But sometimes a blessing is a curse in disguise.

Skoval and the other ancient gods are under siege from a new
generation of gods who are challenging them for the powers of
creation.... and the only way to stop these brash interlopers lies within the mysterious and hidden Five Bones of the Vektan Dragons.

It will be up to the Vindras, the dragon-goddess's champion, to undertake the quest to recover all Five. The fate of the Old Gods and the Vindras' people rests on their recovery, for this is not only a quest to save the world—it is also a quest for redemption.

Filled with heroes and heroines young and old (as well as human and non) spanning locales of exotic adventure in a magic-forged world, the Dragonships of Vindras series fully illustrates the mastery of world-building and storytelling that has made Weis and Hickman into the bestselling fantasy co-authors of all time.

Goodreads review by Adam on December 21, 2015

Book Review: Bones of the Dragon, by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman Bones of the Dragon is a book I picked up at a used bookstore for a couple dollars. The cover looked neat and the blurb sounded interesting, and hey¬— it was only a couple dollars! I could spare that much, even if it turned out not......more

Goodreads review by Maria on November 13, 2009

Despite my enjoyment of fantasy, I've never read a single DragonLance book, and probably wouldn't have picked this up either, if I hadn't been asked to review it. It's a fairly interesting start to a new series, but either not terribly well-written, or I'm just way above the target age, because I did......more

Goodreads review by Alexandra on June 25, 2015

I broke a sweat trying to like this book, but by the end it grew on me. The whole first half was painful, however, because all of the characters were utterly unlikeable.

Goodreads review by Matthew on February 06, 2018

This is the second time that I've read (or in this case listened to) this book. It has been a few years, but I remember thinking the first time how big of an idiot Skylan was, and this time I feel exactly the same way. I like the book, and it is very well written, but it's hard to read about a chara......more

Goodreads review by Liz on December 31, 2018

I really enjoyed other Weis & Hickman books I've read, so I gave this one a try on audio. The main character was pretty unlikable and the narrative seemed a bit drawn out. However, I still found myself wanting to listen to this story. Based on better reviews, I might give the other books in the seri......more
