Customer Reviews

A great read, but...

I enjoyed this series thoroughly, and thought the direction the main characters took was unexpected and fresh. One small mistake (although a big one if you're this particular character)... one of the Generals was said to have perished in the second book, only to be referred to as a living, active character in the third. Did I miss something? Having the same last name as this character, I was quite sure I didn't mistake that he died and was buried. A little odd the publishers didn't catch this. Otherwise, I felt fairly emotionally involved in the story - even angry at some of the main characters' actions. A sign of good writing I would say. Also, a very realistic depiction of someone coming into ultimate power. Without giving anything away - it happens when people become supreme rulers they sometimes lose sight of their original goals and self. Looking forward to reading more in the DL series!

James Markham, hidden powers.

This story is getting pretty good. James has to get things in perspective and make sure he is doing the right thing for the right purpose for the many. Good continuence to the story line.

not a bad book, not great either

i don't think this book was horrible. the Trilogy wasn't bad either. just not the best Dragonlance book. i've read worse. the thing is that people don't like Douglas Niles cause he writes about relatively unknown subjects in the Dragonlance series, therefore their the only book abut the subject and there's nothing to check the continunity against.
