    So, you may or may not have noticed that we've changed our countdown to count the days until Donita K. Paul's new book The Vanishing Sculptor.

    Are you looking forward to it? What are your thoughts on it?

    Had no idea it was coming out...or that there was even a new book...don't really keep up with Paul's stuff.

    I'm not really interested in it. I'm not a Paul person...but if the library gets it I'll read it.

    What? How come I didn't know anything about a book coming out? This is an outrage! *stomps off to investigate*

    The cover looks interesting.

    A cover--how exciting!

    You can get a little bit of info about The Vanishing Sculpter in a corner of Mrs. Paul's website: Right here But there's not a whole lot out there yet.

    I'll only read it if our (slow) library eventually gits it. I haven't even *hides* read the whole Dragon series!

    I just found a description up on Amazon! 'Tis as follows:

    Donita K. Paul’s 250,000-plus-selling DragonKeeper Chronicles series has attracted a wide spectrum of dedicated fans–and they’re sure to fall in love with the new characters and adventures in her latest superbly crafted fiction novel for all ages. It’s a mind-boggling fantasy that inhabits the same world as the DragonKeeper Chronicles, but in a different country and an earlier time, where the people know little of Wulder and nothing of Paladin.

    In The Vanishing Sculptor, readers will meet Tipper, a young emerlindian who’s responsible for the upkeep of her family’s estate during her sculptor father’s absence. Tipper soon discovers that her actions have unbalanced the whole foundation of her world, and she must act quickly to undo the calamitous threat. But how can she save her father and her world on her own? The task is too huge for one person, so she gathers the help of some unlikely companions—including the nearly five-foot tall parrot Beccaroon—and eventually witnesses the loving care and miraculous resources of Wulder. Through Tipper’s breathtaking story, readers will discover the beauty of knowing and serving God.

    I don't know if this is news or not, but I just noticed Amazon has a cover image for book 2: Dragons of the Valley.

    Nice find, Alassiel! Now, if only that release date is true, I have something else to put in the countdown on the main site once Starlighter comes out.

    Hey I just started reading this. It's kinda confusing should I have read that other series first?

    No, I think it stands on its own alright.  Her writing can be a bit confusing sometimes, but once you get in a little ways and get used to it, it should become clear.

    I finished this book I REALLY liked it. It's a very good fantasy book. One thing I noticed about the writing in this book is that she  always writes about the main charecters and that she doesn't have more than one plot. I still loved it and would give it five out of five stars.
