Dragons of Autumn Twilight book review
The story was in depth and flowing as the relationships of the characters intertwined with each other and the problems they faced in turn. The story will be enjoyed by younger readers and older ones alike as there are both younger and adult themes within the tale that are weaved extremely well in this first novel in the acclaimed series. It captures the mind and the feel of the period and setting in great detail. The writers seemed to have a point to make that there was both good and evil in the world, murder, war, and rage that people had to deal with in the novel, themes that are existent in today’s modern society.
Margaret Weis was born on the 16th March 1948 in Independence, Missouri and is a New York Times best-selling author of fantasy books. Missouri in the 1950s was not an ideal setting for a budding young fantasy author but the young Weis was not to be deterred and enthralled her kindergarten friends and then her classmates in school with her stories.

TWILIGHT is an action-packed, modern day love story between a vampire and a human. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother remarries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect much of anything to change.
