"Zahn has always managed to tell an enthralling story in the past, and this one is no exception. Ignore the young adult label if youβre older and read it anyway.β
--Chronicle on Dragon and Slave
βAs with the other books in the series, this novel is a well-done, lightweight adventure story. Zahn continues to find ways to put Draycosβs unique symbiotic nature to good use, and fans will look forward to the promised fourth volume in the series, Dragon and Herdsman."
--Voices of Youth Advocates on Dragon and Slave
βThis first book in the Dragonback series is a fast-paced suspense novel, full of exciting twists and turns in the story. But itβs not a simple adventure tale; the partnership of a con man and an honorable warrior raises some interesting questions about morality. Just enough of the story is wrapped up at the end to feel satisfying, while leaving plenty of questions to be answered in future installments of the series.β
--Kliatt on Dragon and Thief
βZahn keeps the story moving at a breakneck pace, maintaining excitementβ
