Review:

"Watt-Evans explores the theme of whether any man can single-handedly right all the wrongs of the world, and whether any man can ever know what true justice is. This, plus a unique concept of the nature of dragons, how they come into being and their true relationship with humans, makes Dragon Weather far more than just another sword-and-sorcery tale."--Orlando Sentinel
"Watt-Evans lives up to expectations . . . well-told . . . a fantasy of high quality and considerable interest."--Booklist on Touched by the Gods
"The pacing is excellent, the epic proportions and strangeness fascinate. . . . This novel is great fun, with intrigue, adventure, magic and horror."--Publishers Weekly on Touched by the Gods
