The Edmonton Journal
"With DRAGONFIRE, (Bradford) shows that she can craft fantasy with...a deft sense for the telling detail...it's more than difficult to put the book down."
Reviewed by Barbara Greenwood, City Parent, April 1998
Karleen Bradford, author of 14 YA novels, many of them historical fiction, moves confidently into high fantasy with DRAGONFIRE...Bradford uses the conventions of high fantasy well to create a fast-paced, intriguing adventure. But, like all good fantasies, this story is also an allegory for the human condition; even as Dahl grows more confident of his powers, he meets the dark side of his own personality and comes to realize that the dragon inside is more dangerous than the ones he can see.
