Synopsis

Humans are a nearly extinct minority among the warrior-slave races...their will and memory suppressed by a tyrannical and unstoppable empire of magic-wielding elves. But there are legends that tell of another time, when humans and the other slave races were free, tales of a hero who will return one day to lead them in an uprising against their masters. That hero, or so the stories say, will be a human named Drakis. But Drakis Sha-Timuran, a human warrior-slave of House Timuran, gives no credence to these legends. After all, he is happy in his life, fighting for the glory of his House along with the other members of his Cohort. But as they embark on the final stage of a campaign to bring down the last dwarf king, neither Drakis nor his comrades can foresee that the world as they know it is about to come crashing down around them.

DNF at 30% I really like the concept and the direction that the story is going but my head doesn't want to continue no matter how many times I try to pick it back up. Temporary DNF at this point.......more

If you love Harry Bosch, you'll probably love Drakis, too. It's a good story, although I got confused at some points in fairy l and when Hickman didn't use foreshadow to prepare me for what was going on, but it worked out. I recommend it.......more

Song of the Dragon is not a book you bust through in one setting. It's a book you read slowly, savoring the complex characters and myriad cultures. A book were world building and history are as important as plot and pacing. In Hickman's world, the numerous races have lost their memories and their fr......more
