Welcome to Vaioa,

a desert triumvirate of Hold, Weyr, and Mine. Thread's return and bandit raiding brought strife between weyr and hold, but the bandits' recent defeat has returned the region to an uneasy peace. Now, a shipwreck on a forgotten continent and the decision to settle this rediscovered land has opened up a world of opportunity to Vaioa, if only they can handle the dangers.

EEEE BARD'S OATH; FINALLY OMG

I know nobody knows or cares who I’m talking about but if you like fantasty books and you like dragons and you haven’t read The Last Dragonlord and its sequel Dragon and Phoenix by Joanne Bertin, you have been MISSING OUT.

These are seriously my favorite books ever and I have been waiting very very patiently for the third installation since 1999.

Joanne had a kid (at the age of fifty-something) and then dropped off the face of the earth. Her website vanished and there was no word of any progress on her book for about 10 years. I still checked every once in a while, because I re-read these books so often I can actually recite passages from them from memory. I find myself wishing that they’d become a lot more popular than they were because DAMN the idea is cool.

Weredragons. In the best possible way.

So about a year ago Tor Publishing released a statement saying she was working on Bard’s Oath again after 10 years and it was tentatively going to come out late 2010 or early 2011. Those dates came and went and I went and posted on the official forums, hoping to get an update. Today I went and checked my post and found this:

“I asked her editor, Jim Frenkel. He said Joanne Bertin has turned in her finished manuscript for Bard’s Oath, and he’s in the middle of editing it.”

AASJDHASLKJDHSHHH OH MY GOD YES. YES YES YES YES AND YES! Over 11 years of waiting has finally paid off! I cannot WAIT to dig back into these books again! If you can’t find these books in the store (which you probably can’t, they went out of print a long time ago), and you’re too lazy to check your local Halfprice Books, they are available to read online!

The Last Dragonlord

And

Dragon and Phoenix

GO READ THEM.

SO EXCITED OH MY GOD.

Wow, is the next book actually coming out? I first read those books ages ago (and bought them right after, of course). I just can't believe... another book? Really? That's something I was sure would never happen! :D :D :D Thanks for the heads up!

No, I'm not. That's pretty neat, though! I'd love to look around. :D Care to link me to it?

Sadly, it's a bit underloved. The fandom isn't as big as it should be =C

Well, I can't say I'm entirely surprised, considering how long it takes each book to come out. Maybe after this next one (maybe last one?) is released the fanbase will grow. :)

I also signed up and put in a request to join your group. :D

Awesome! You should be in by later this morning, gotta wait for one more mod to hit accept <_<

And yeah, I'm hoping Bard's Oath is fanfreakingtastic so the fanbase will grooooow. I've been speculating for a long time on what she's going to do with it. I was kinda hoping she'd go back and tell Otter's life story but at the same time I want to see her continue the current plots she never quite wrapped up in Dragon and Phoenix.

I want to see more of Shima and Miune!!!

U Jelly Bro?
Hmmm... I actually think I remember getting a opy of Dragon and Phoenix a couple years ago. I didn't really want to read it though cause I don't like to read books out of order. :unsure:

But you've definitely caught my interest, Fishy. I may just have to find that book again and get a copy of the first. They do seem like pretty good reads!
