Relation Toward Books Blue Moon Rising (Forest Kingdom #1)
Rupert didn't especially want to be a prince. And he certainly never asked to be the second son of a royal line that really didn't need a spare. So he was sent out to slay a dragon and prove himself-a quest straight out of legend. But he also discovered the kinds of things legends tend to leave out, as well as the usual demons, goblins, the dreaded Night Witch-and even worse terrors hidden in the shadows of Darkwood. Rupert did find a fiery dragon-and a beautiful princess to rescue. But the dragon turned out to be a better friend than anyone back at the castle, and with the evil of Darkwood spreading, Rupert was going to need all the friends he could get.

How long have MLE and I been friendsoh like forever. I got this book to read on the flight to Paris, our French class school trip back in 1996. Dont let the publication fool you, its a reprint. Well I finished it, then handed off to Emily then she finished it. Yeah, thats right. We were just that awesome.If I could pick only 10 books to read for the rest of my life, this would be one of them.I've worn out 4 paperback copies of "Blue Moon Rising", and have read it at least thirty times. A must read!
Great book, much better than the Nightside series. There is nothing special about the main character, who is the second son and Prince of a realms that has no need for him. He is sent a Quest that he is either supposed to die on or serve as his exile. The beginning of this book made me think it was going to be over-the-top Terry Pratchett style, but after the debacle of saving the dragon from the princess, it got a lot better. I really got to like the main character. I guess he strikes a chord
I read the first 200 or so pages of this while on a trip, then waited nearly 3 weeks to finish reading it. All told, I think I preferred the first 200 pages the most and therefore sped joyfully through those, though there were still some very good moments scattered throughout the rest of the book. Despite the threat of the Darkwood, for some reason, I had the most fun reading the short story of Rupert saving Julia from the dragon and their initial time back at the palace. Overall, this is a
I had to buy this book just because of the opening line. And it was completely worth it. It's fantasy, but it's also a story that mocks fantasy. Plus there's a talking unicorn. What more could you ask for?
I picked up this book at random and was very pleasantly surprised. It's a very complex story where the good guys aren't always good adn the bad guys have a lot of good reasons for being bad. I found it a lot more realistic (and therefore dark) than the traditional fantasy fiction, and a lot more witty and fun to read, too. Joss Whedon meets Peter Beagle.
This book is hilarious, fast-paced, and intensely well-written.It's quite long, at just under 500 pages, and there is so much going on. Yet the storytelling is so involving that you don't have time to be bored. Although this is definitely a fantasy book, it also is a story about an everyday type of hero, even a reluctant hero. Rupert is a man who was raised to live in his brother's shadow. He is the unwanted second son of the Forest Land Kingdom. His father deliberately did not encourage a close
