You get "The Rage."Byers tackles one of the most intriguing topics in all of fantasy lore - dragons. They are the ultimate killers, the wisest and oldest of creatures, come in all forms (big, small, corporal, undead) and colors and seem to elicit the type of fear that can only be told in a fantasy novel. Even the most stout hearted of gamers hate to hear the words "...and a dragon appears..." when roleplaying.The Rage is centered on the premise that all dragons, good and evil, are slowly losing their self-control (as if Red dragons had any to begin with) and reverting to animal like instincts. It is unknown what is causing this issue, but the solution must be found soon, lest the entire Realms be thrown into disarray as good and bad dragons alike begin devouring, destroying, and rampaging.If you are a fan of dragon lore and enjoy the Forgotten Realms setting, then you are likely to enjoy reading The Year of the Rogue Dragons series. I know there are better books about dragons and better "worlds" that cover dragons - but there is still something special about a FR dragon in my mind...call it old sentimentality from my pen and paper days. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Mediocre *by N***O on Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2007* When I saw this trilogy was written by Richard Lee Byers, I must say I was a bit disappointed. I consider his books to be extremely action oriented, disregarding plot and character development. Some of my predictions came true, some didn't.First, this novel, the first one of the trilogy, does have a grand story behind it, although the author doesn't delve into reasons of the Rage in this novel, you can see it is a beginning of something epic. The characters of this book are a mixed bunch. Two main characters Dorn and Taegan (a very interesting, memorable character), get pretty much space and that naturally leads to depth and good character development. Other characters, however, get very limited space for their introspections and points-of-view. I hope we will see more of their characterizations in following two books. Besides that, Byers shows once again that he is a master of the flow, and he reminds you of some important characters or events throughout the book, without being repetitive or boring.I'll quote one of the characters in the book. "Illmater's Tears, will this fight ever end?" Oh man, is he right. There is so much fighting in this book, that it is simply unbearable. I knew Byers is an action-oriented author, but this is too much even from him. He could've given up on full 50 pages of battles, and still make it a fighting-heavy novel. That is my biggest complaint. Otherwise, maybe he could have made protagonists of the book a less eccentric bunch (but I understand WotC have to sell their Monster Manual XVIII somehow), and could have given the villains some space. As it is, they appear and disappear at the point of a sword.I hope to see an improvement in the following books. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy All Three! *by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2010* I was first turned on to Byers after reading his book in the War of the Spider Queen. Since then I've read everything of his I can get my hands on.What I love about Byers the most is the how he can incorporate reality into his characters. Most often AD&D novels have just a few shades of gray between black and white, but he expands the spectrum immeasurably.The characters and situations are all well written. I even found myself emphasizing with the antagonist! Almost a "tragic villain" if you will.I also really like how he keeps the reader chronologically engaged through dates in the chapter headings.I highly recommend buying the set all at the same time. They're so good that you'll not want to wait for the next book to arrive. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/66932447-the-rage-forgotten-realms-the-year-of-the-rogue-dragons](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/66932447-the-rage-forgotten-realms-the-year-of-the-rogue-dragons) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-05*
