Greetings; thought I'd share a pleasant '500 years after' experience. I've been reading the Vlads to my wife Christine for some time now, and am now going through the Kahvren books. 'Well, but they are Dragonlords; wherefore does this mean they are not friends?' caused spontaneous tea-sinus insertion and a hiatus in reading while the cough-mop operation was completed. Luckily, the tea wasn't freshly brewed, else burns might have resulted. I can reccommend the read-aloud method for re-experiencing the books with a fresh perspective. Both series are also nicely populated with varying characters to voice. I simply love reading Tazendra. - Allen S. Rout
