The novel was published the year I was born so unsurprisingly I didn’t get to experience the controversy this book created among fans of King. This is probably the only King novel that I’ve read so far that I would have no issues with my niece reading! Indeed it was written for his then-13-year-old daughter. The Eyes of the Dragon is definitely a child-friendly ‘crossover’ fantasy novel, a story that can be enjoyed by both children and adults. Both the genre and the style are starkly different to his predominantly ‘horror’ body of work. The Eyes of the Dragon is not like any other Stephen King book I’ve read. I can’t say that I agree with this description yet, but this was my motivation to read The Eyes of the Dragon. Connecting The Eyes of the Dragon to the series, I’ve heard it said it is what The Hobbit is to the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
This is the last novel I needed to read before embarking on The Dark Tower series.
