I thoroughly enjoyed the first book, <em>Bitterwood</em>, and so I ordered <em>Dragonforge</em>. Before I read it, however, I was disappointed to find out the author is a self-proclaimed atheist. Regardless, I had ordered the book and decided to go ahead and read it.</p>
<p>I found <em>Dragonforge</em> (like its predecessor) to be well-written and very imaginative. The story is set in a world where dragons have ruled for thousands of years over mankind, unaware that mankind was once the dominant species. <em>Dragonforge</em> continues a human revolt that started in the first book. The story moved along well with a nice pace, good use of dialogue and vivid descriptions.</p>
<p>James Maxey is obviously familiar with Christian theology, even to the point of quoting scripture. However, his religious philosophy is also quite apparent in the pages of the book. Although I enjoyed the quality of the book, I found his underlying viewpoint to be rather dismal.</p>
