Weasel again... but now called Sir Galen.

This is about Galen - formally known as the Weasel, now known as Sir Galen - can you believe a little weasel like the Weasel became a knight? I can?t. I must say he was a lot funnier as the Weasel. This is about the opals Galen received from the Scorpion as a reward in the book ?Weasel?s Luck?. They are sacred among Plainsmen, for they are magic. Brithem, Galen?s older brother (the second child, the first is Alfric), gets captured by the Plainsmen, and then they talk to Galen through the Opals, telling him to give over the opals or Brithem will be killed. Brithem is one of those people who will sit down and meditate when a battle is going on (not that he ever does that particular thing). He is sort of a monk, and the gods definitely look after him; he gets himself into the most serious messes, but always gets out without a scratch. I.e., he puts up his home right near the entrance that leads under the ground to almost the center of the earth - and in the tunnels, the Plainsmen live, one of which is Firesong, who is the one who wants to take over the world by putting thirteen opals in his crown (which gives him power over life and death - whatever that means).So Galen goes to save his brother, talking along only a knight and his squire, Galen's new squire Alfric, and the beautiful Danelle de Calla.Back at the castle (de Calla), Bayard Brightblade (who was going to go with Galen but then broke his leg), his wife Ellen, and a few others, find a strange note left by the Scorpion, and go to explore the dangerous tunnels beneath the castle.

Puzzling...

Galen Beknighted is in one word a puzzle. A fantastic job by Michael Williams placing all the different characters into the grand scheme. Many times an author will have a character that, by the end of the book, the reader will ask him/her self "What was he/she doing in this story anyway?"... not here n this book. Every character had his/her place, and fit the bill well too!This story picks up where Weasel's Luck leaves off, and continues the adventures of Galen Pathwardin-Brightblade, aka the Weasel. During this novel, Galen tries to shrug off the Weasel aspect and prove that he could be a knightly knight. The opals that he had kept after his ordeal with the Scorpion, have another purpose than mere decoration...showing Galen visions of Evil things ahead.Surprising things happen here in this novel, and as I said... during the novel I had to ask myself "why this?" and "what happened to...?" Rest assured, the answers come at the conclusion and all the puzzle becomes complete.Enjoy!

Simple wonderful

I love this book. I can't remember how many times I've read it over. It'll keep you turning the pages til' you finish, if you're any type of Dragonlance fan.

One of the greatest books EVER!

If you have read Weasel's Luck, or any Dragonlance book, or even one of Michael Williams's poems you will definitly love this book. The coward in the story line seems to be Galen, but deep inside you know (and want) Galen becomes a true-heart Knight. I remember reading his fight with dead Alfric over and over again. Once he is a good Knight, I couldn't stop thinking about him, and his adventures.

Weasel's change

If you read "Weasel's luck", and you liked it, you have to read this book, here you see how Galen Pathwarden Brigthblade, changes his lifestyle, after been accepted as knight of Solamnia. He also falls in love with lady Enid's cousin, Danelle di Caela, and as always, his brothers, and himself, are in trouble, when they have to face the plainsmen, not Que-Shu, Que-teh, and Que-kiri, but Que-nara, an Que-tan
