Hey there, Reikan. I am going to be your rater from the Yanillian Library. Now, I have already read the entire trilogy like a while ago. So all I'm going to do is skim through it, give you your review, and if it gets in, the third installment will also be accepted. :)

Review for The Cursed Dragon Trilogy (Yes, I am basing this on the whole trilogy) by Reikan4 -- Courtesy of "The Yanillian Library -- Review by Mbtsc/t
Spelling and Grammar/ Organization -- 22/25 -- Throughout the skim I made, I noticed very few mistakes. You've done well here. Using a spellchecker helps you, so if you are tended to make mistakes, don't hesitate to use it, for we won't know. :P Your organization was great too, but the thing that bothered me is that you used so many extra unnecessary posts.
Description/Vocabulary -- 25/30 -- Throughout the story, you put the smallest details in. This is great, for it slows down the story, making it longer, and it is easier to see everything that is going on in the story. You can see a lot of stuff in this story. The only thing I can really say here is give more detail to the main characters and the setting would be good too. If you really want it to be a lot better, just re-do everything, to add a ton of detail on it all.
~Iban looked around, his ears perked up, as if he was hearing something. ~ Usually not many add stuff like his ears perking up. It's excellent description used in great story.
Plot/Conflict -- 57/65 -- The plot shifted back and forth between different parts throughout the story. This can be either good or bad depending on how you format it. When someone reads the story, they think the conflict is just getting the egg to hatch, but really, it's more than that. It's about them going through a horde of conflicts to keep the egg safe. One thing that I wish to point out is that there probably could've been more conflict between Kalda and Kaiser. I mean, everyone fights. ;)

Originality/Creativity -- 25/30 -- This is hard to get a good score on, and you did great. This had to be one of the most creative stories I've ever read. It struck me as something way different from the others. I like the idea with the egg and how it took the body heat of one who held it because it wasn't able to produce its own body heat. Even when I was a beginner of the stories forum, this struck me with awe and it still does now. I believe people will love the story here. The egg, though, seemed to have come from Eragon, but there is a distinct difference, so that's why your score wasn't deducted too much.
Character Development -- 44/50 -- Each character has his/her own distinct personality. For example, Saren is a tough guy who doesn't want help. Kaisen is the one who looks on to others for help during a mission that seems impossible. Kalda is one who loves her family and always has a good heart. Some of these characters do change over time, and that's what character development is really about. Kaisen learned to be independent, and Saren learned to be interdependent near the end. With these changes, it really shows that the characters can be changed. I believe that some characters that weren't changed could've been chaged a little.
Total -- 183/200 -- This is a 91.5%, so that means you have gained access in to the Yanillian Library. Congratulations. What I'd do is somewhere on your threads, create a set of story questions for people to answer. This is needed for it is extra credit for those in the Academy of Literature. If you would please get that done, we'll be cool. I loved this story since I read it in May. It's an incredible story filled with rich adventure. It's a tale worthy of reading, and I believe it will be a great tale on the shelf of "The Yanillian Library". Once again, congratulations and remember story questions.
