Customer Reviews

Up there with my other favorite books

This is another example of what Niles is capable of. Not only does his book provide very enjoyable reading in itself, it answers some questions from one of his previous novels, The Dragons. The scholarary personality of Baker Whitegranite is very nicely written and is followed all the way through the book. The only thing against this book is that the personality of Tarn is underdeveloped compared to everyone else.

Congratulations

After the disappointing Dragons of Summer Flame, Douglas Niles succeeds in writing an extraordinary background of the Chaos War. Niles plainly manages to give a detailed description of the Maze-underground kingdom of Thorbardin along with the mass destruction caused by the creatures of Chaos. This is one of the finest, most complete novels depicting the Hylar and Daergar clans. Simply astounding.

Best book about dwarves

The book was great. It made me want to keep reading. I had a hard time putting it down it was so exciting. And It explained all about the dwarf government. It is a great book for anyone who likes dwarfs.

Great Book!

I absolutley loved this book! I have long been a fan of the Dragonlance series and Douglas Niles is one of my favorite writers. I think this book could be one of his best, and I hope he writes more about the dwarves of Krynn.

Praises

The Last Thane is an excellent book, worth buying if one is an avid fan of the dwarves of Thorbardin or of Krynn in general. Besides the wonderful, though sad, story, The Last Thane also gives the reader a further, detailed look at the dwarves' personalities and their cities (Hybardin particularly). In this books the Hylar are pitted against their neighbors, the Daergar, Klar, and Theiwar, and the forces of Chaos. The Hylar show the strength of dwarven stubborness even through these incredible odds. It's a really good book! A good complement for books like Stormblade and The Covenant of the Forge.THORBARDIN FOREVER!!!
