One of the Best Books Ever!

Shadow Steed was a fantastic book! Very well written, Mr. Knaak transports you to the magical world of the DragonRealm. Very captivating. I also cried at the end. This book makes for a good read if you like fantasy; it's a bit dark, so I rate it PG-13. ^_^ No profanity or sexual content, it's just dark.

A BEAUTIFUL READ!

This book was great! I was so into it that I finished in a day! I laughed with Darkhorse, I smiled with Erini, I lost my mind with Shade, I died with Drayfitt, I helped save 'Aurim Bedlam' with Cabe and Gwen,I gasped at the sight of Nimth, and I even cried at the end ( If you have read it you know what I am talking about, but I don't want to spoil the ending if you haven't). I felt so comfertable with the characters because they were so real (You're Real! ). I was blinded by the tears in my eyes the first time I read it but when I re-read it when I got control over myself, I picked up a hint that there was a possibility that Shade was still alive. I have not read the later ones so I don't know, but I am dying to read them! To summarize: If you haven't read Shadow Steed, you have missed the adventure of a lifetime!

This book was cool. Period.

I think this book was excellently written because it blended an interesting plot with a large amount of detail. The book had a fast pace so it would apeal to younger readers or people who enjoy action books. Richard Knaak paints a perfect picture of the battle of an eternal steed against a foe of unimaginable power. A must-read for fantacy lovers.
