This book I went into expecting to hate the main character and for him to be a villainous terror for the whole book. So imagine my surprise when I feel sorry for him from the get-go! And it just gets better. Sure, RuGaard has some very tough times. But he is ALWAYS looking for ways to better himself and help those around him. And in the end, he [spoiler] becomes king of a clan of dragons[/spoiler] and is working with humans and other species. Hope the rest of the series stays on this level. (  ) BookstoogeLT | Dec 10, 2016 |  ) bgknighton | Sep 29, 2013 | ) JanetArmentani | Jul 25, 2013 | Knight continues to be a wonderful writer. He has taken dragons and made them both more and less than what the fairy tales had given. Many stories of dragons make them majestic and helpful, or split them into “good” and “evil” dragons usually dependent on scale color. But Knight’s dragons are all of a whole, and color has nothing to do with personality. Good and evil designations are dependent on the nature of the dragon in question. The Copper is our hero, and anyone who has ever felt marginalized by the society in which they live will find they are very able to identify with the Copper’s struggles for recognition. I highly recommend you read Dragon Outcast. Full Review at Grasping for the Wind (  ) graspingforthewind | Feb 25, 2008 | inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

HTML: "I'm sorry, hatchling. You are an outcast. You must learn to overcome on your own..." Such was the welcome the young, nameless Copper dragon received upon breaking free of his shell. Crippled while battling his brother for dominance in the nest, he is all but ignored and discarded by his mother and father---the last of a dying breed. Forced to fend for himself, he learns the hard lessons of survival. When he??s captured by vengeful dwarves, he buys his own life with the lives of those who rejected him---and pays a price he never imagined. Fleeing his guilt, the Copper finds himself far from all he knows. Rescued by unlikely, bloodthirsty saviors, he makes an extraordinary trek to the last bastion of free dragonkind. In this secret civilization, he finds a new family. They too are wary of the crippled, wild-bred dragon, but this time he's determined to prove himself equal to any enemy, on four legs or two, from the highest mountaintop to the deepest cave, as he pits his strength, wit, and courage in a contest for the survival---and domination---of dragonkind itself.
