Before the Mask

An Excellent series to begin for Dragon Lance. This is Book 1. I enjoyed it alot. There is action, corrruption and so much going on. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I have.

"MIDNIGHT!!!!!"

Before the mask is definitely recommended for those who would like to know why, actually, is Verminaard the way he is? You get to find out what really drove him to be an evil and powerfull addition to the ranks of the dragon army. Also it tells of his mace "nightbringer"(MIDNIGHT!!!). Got a druid in there too. All in all a good book.

It's good, but easy to read

Before the mask is a really good book, except for the fact that it is a bit short and rather easy to read. I liked it because Verminaard is a very interesting character (in my opinion), and if you're wondering the origin of his mace or why he wore a mask, or if you're just looking for a good fantasy novel, check this out.

An Amazing Dark and Twisted Tale. . .

Before the Mask is onw of the only Dragon Lance novels that I have read that really describes what made a man the way he was. The author starts from the very begining of Verminaard's life and shows why he became evil. It show how he changed from a reletively good person to one that is truly evil. Before The Mask is a very well written book that could be interesting to most reasonably intelligent people. Ones looking for gratuitous violence ought to look somewhere else. However, to those of us who are interested in the making of an evil man this book is well worth buying

Before the Mask - hautingly beautiful

The first two words that come to my mind when I think of Beforethe Mask are:hauntingly beautiful. That probably sounds weird, butit's the best way I can think of to describe it. It created imagas both horrible and wonderful. True, there was not as much action and adventure as in most DL books, but over all, I loved it. It did what it was supposed to do - show how Verminaard became so twisted and evil. They created the perfect story line (I really enjoyed how they tied Verminaard and Ember together, creating a strange love/hate relationship between them). The Voice was really creepy, always hiding in the darkness, waiting to distort the way Verminaard thought. If you want a book with tons of action, adventure, and magic, then this isn't for you. But if your looking to read a book that's all around dark and gothic and very well written, consider this a must. Loyal DL readers should read it to.
