A kingdom is in turmoil after old King Roland dies and his worthy successor, Prince Peter, is imprisoned by the evil Flagg and his pawn, young Prince Thomas. But Flagg's evil plot is not perfect, for he knows naught of Thomas' terrible secret—or Prince Peter's daring plan to escape and claim what is rightfully his.

A tale of archetypal heroes and sweeping adventures, of dragons and princes and evil wizards, here is epic fantasy as only Stephen King could envision it. Stephen King has taken the classic fairy tale and transformed it into a masterpiece of fiction for the ages.

Review of 'The Eyes of the Dragon' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This is clearly written for a young audience, but its still a page-turner like any other King novel. I was reading this alongside Farseer Trilogy, and the similarities and contrasts were too well-matched for me to ignore. Both even share a few character names. However, it was still a wonderful read, and I enjoyed almost every bit of it.

A few descriptions and overly-foreshadowing took it down a few notches for me, though.
