![The Adamantine Palace by Stephen Deas The Adamantine Palace by Stephen Deas book cover](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia0T6Ao7oe-brsFXclPUVtLhahzURQZ_xX_8OqM2XdeqameS1Tn7DPTQVk5JwmlXPI-kfKRU0H1FAOjCpTXs5mBRVy6LAfU6vw1Zi4HYh7lUEu9sfs7D3WbeJkB55f4Wzj81YK/w210-h320-rw/adamantine.jpg)
After a somewhat slow start, the book took an exciting turn when one of the dragons starts communicating with the humans. The story really picks up here, and I thoroughly enjoyed the drama, conflict and the secondary plot featuring court plotting, lust and deception. I also enjoyed the description of the diamond palace, and found myself imagining how this could be depicted on the big screen.
I couldn't help but side with the plight of the dragons, led by the pure white dragon 'Snow' and would be interested in reading a sequel.
Great read!
My rating = ***
Carpe Librum!
