The Balborite Curse The Balborite Curse is the fourth book in Kristian Alva's bestselling Dragon Stones Saga. After five years of fragile peace, things are changing rapidly. The dwarf kingdom is crumbling into civil war in the midst of the worst clan schism in a thousand years. With the clans weakened by infighting, the entire dwarf kingdom is vulnerable to attack. Tallin Arai, the dragon rider, must leave the desert and the city he loves when someone puts a bounty on his head. He suspects the Balborites--a fanatic cult that trains deadly mageborn assassins. He sets out on a journey to save the dwarves from civil war and stop the Balborite assassins once and for all. Is Tallin strong enough to save them all?

My Review:
I did not read the first three books in this series. However I really liked this book. I am going to read the rest of the series as soon as I can, and I think more will be coming out. I play MTG, (Magic the card Game), and have for years. This book fits right in with Dwarves, and Dragons, and Earth spells. The Dwarf "war" was an interesting read because the author took me all over the land to learn about the different factions and I felt like I was a part of the strategy of saving the dragons. I also really liked when Tallin met his aunt. She had me laughing. The assassin was really strong, and I didn't think that Tallin was going to win. The author did a great job of describing Tallin's world. At the end there is also a list of spells and what they do. What I liked the most was Tallin and his friendship with his dragon. The fact that they could talk to each other and communicate for the betterment of the other people in the story kept me reading to the end (in one day) to see how they were going to work together. The ending was a sweet surprise, and I hope that there is more to come of the same in future books. If Tallin survives after this book. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
