I've never really liked historical fantasy either, and while the dragon concept is cool, I think Anne McCaffrey does it much better. So, I'll probably check out "Empire of Ivory" sometime, but it's not a series I would rush out and read...Roberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15006565422867420980noreply@blogger.com
