I thought quite a bit of extraneous material could have been cut (something I’ve noticed in all of Chima’s works) and there was a distinct lack of resolution to several different threads throughout the story. Unfortunately, for the most part I found The Dragon Heir disappointing. With so much to lose, what will the people of Trinity be willing to fight for-and what will they sacrifice? Moral compasses spin out of control as a final battle storms through what was once a sanctuary for the gifted. The stone seems to sing to Jason’s very soul-showing him that he’s meant for more than anyone’s guessed. Everything changes, though, when Jason finds a powerful talisman-a huge opal called the Dragonheart-buried in a cave. He may not be the most powerful wizard in Trinity, but he’s prepared to fight for his friends. But to Jason Haley it seems like everyone wants to keep him out of the action. Everyone is doing their part: Seph is monitoring the Weirwalls, Jack and Ellen are training their ghostly army, even Anaweir Will and Fitch are setting booby traps around the town’s perimeter.
The covenant that was meant to keep the wizard wars at bay has been stolen, and Trinity must prepare for attack. The Dragon Heir, by Cinda Williams Chima, was published in 2008 by Hyperion.
