Customer Reviews

Best Dragonlance I've ever read!

This book was awesome! Right from the start it reels you in with Vinas trying to get into the army of Ergoth. Throughout the entire book battles and an empresses evil plans keep you reading unless you are called of for some reason. I read it in one night and I enjoyed so much i had to write this review. Compared to some of the other reviewers i liked the ending. This author should write more withen the Dragonlance series for this one was excellent!

Excellent Work

This was an excellent book - One of the best i've read to date from the DragonLance series, and i've been an avid reader for about 8 years. The story was very well told, very interesting, and the first few chapters really drew my interest. So much, in fact, that I read the entire book in one sitting. The book relates the story of Vinas Solamnus, who, while a relatively important figure in the DragonLance series, was barely touched upon until now. I'd recommend this tale to any experienced DragonLance reader.

Excellent Story of the Greatest Legend in Krynn's history

This book is a great story of Vinas Solamnus, and his early, evil years, and his later, thoughtful, wise and reflective years. If you like action and suspense, this is the Dragonlance book for you. I was happy to realize that it was everything I expected it to be. It kept me on the edge of the seat for days. I am a very experienced reader, and this book rates in my top 3. This book is especially exciting if you are interested in the history of Krynn. You would have to know a lot about the history of Krynn to understand this book to the maximum. As a warning, this book is not about the Knights of Solamnia, if for some reason that is your sole purpose for buying this book. I recommend this book strongly to those who are experienced Dragonlance readers, and wish for another great book from the World of Krynn. If you are new to the World of Dragonlance, I suggest that you learn a little bit about the timeline and history of Krynn before you attempt to read this book.

The First book in the series I have read!A MUST READ!

I love this book, it is so cool! I have never even heard of this series before, all I did was walk into a bookstore and saw it and decided to start reading books more often so I grabbed it! So far it is awesome, I am currently on page 150 after 2 days of off and on reading. (3\20\99\) It is so awesome, I am only 13 if that surprises you but it is cool, definetly a must read!Spawn852(spawn852@yahoo.com)

One of the best dragonlance books.

I decided to buy this book only because it was a dragonlance. I was pleasantly surprised how good it was. Vinas starts out as a fighter for good. His old man dies so he becomes evil. After years of fighting for the evil empire of Ergoth he becomes a rebel and fights for good again. The only mention of the knights of Solamnia is on the very last page. I didn't care though. The battle scenes in this book were detailed and fast paced. A definite buy.
