review 1: I really enjoyed Paul Genesse's interesting world. It is the classic high fantasy world with dragons, humans and dwarves, yet with a wonderful depth and twist that I found fascinating. Sentient intelligence is given to a mighty Dragon, who reigns over the world, forcing humans to live in fear and hiding from the vicious aerian beasts that hunt and kill any humans they find. Dwarves are Human's enemies for very concrete reasons, but are forced to work together to try and defeat the wicked Dragon.While I enjoyed and appreciated the story, I felt that the writing was often too thick and slow. Ten word were used when three of the right words would to the job. This slowed the pacing of the book terribly and kept this wonderful story from shining as brightly as it could ... morehave.
review 2: Paul writes an incredible story that not only has all the standard action but he also explores the deeper sides of existence. He is not afraid to bring the reader face to face with arcane ideals, accepting fate, staring death in the eye and coming to terms with it or the unbreakable bond of honor. The Golden Cord is a must read for any fantasy writer who enjoys the adventure but also relishes those moments when you pause to ponder.Lynette White Author of The Enemy Within less
