Dragonslayer af Wayland Drew
A largely boring book that gets 2 stars instead of 1 because the 'damsel' does something really cool right before the climax.
A good example of what a novelization should be. Well written, it expands and depends the story of the film. If you read it without knowing it was a novelization, it would stand as a good fantasy novel.
I read this novel before I properly knew what a novelization is, and I'd read it twice before I ever ran across the movie it retells (starring Peter MacNicol). I remember the genuinely bittersweet climax, indeed the strangely poignant tone throughout. I also loved the dragon's backstory, unique in my reading at that point. I need to return to this one (I still have it somewhere!) to see if it stands up at all. But I think my affection for this book is justified, at least to some extent, by more than nostalgia!… (mere)
En las mazmorras del castillo de la malvada reina hechicera Bavmorda, una prisionera da a luz una niña que, de acuerdo a una antigua profecía, pondrá fin al oscuro reinado de la hechicera. La comadrona salva a la niña de la ira de Bavmorda, pero se ve obligada a arrojar su cuna al río antes de ser alcanzada por sus perros de presa. Cuando el joven Willow Ufwood encuentra al bebé abandonado, de repente se ve metido en una aventura llena de magia y peligro
