User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars Better than the first
Rabe gets her groove finally during this book. The first one was very clunky with very little character development. The characters become more fleshed out during this book and the plot twists are surprising. I wasn’t holding out much hope after the first, but this was actually pretty good. Would have given 3.5 stars, but didn’t have the option for it.
2 Stars I hated it
I couldn’t get past the first 150 pages of it. I just found myself lossing to much interest in the story to the point where I didn’t care what happened to the characters or Krynn. You could skip this trilogy and completely understand what’s going on on Krynn during the War of Souls. Rabes style of writing just isnt for me I guess. The first book of the series was good, but not really this one in my opinion.
If you have nothing better to read, then pick this up, other than that I dont think it’s worth it.
2 Stars Poor Dragonlance book.
Unpopular setting in the timeline, coupled with a writing style that seems to be emulating Weis & Hickman but failing, make this entire trilogy overall unremarkable. Only worth reading to keep up with the setting storyline.
5 Stars Picking up steam
This book was far better than the first. A lot of important things are now happening in the dragonlance world and everything is going at a break neck pace. I was very pleased to see that the characters from the first book are being given a lot more depth. New characters are entering in from different sources. This pick has a style very simaler to the Chronicles trilogy. There is a LOT that goes on.
4 Stars Day of The tempest
This book is likley to satasfy you even more than the one preceding it, The Dawning of a New Age, though not as good as the book following it ,The Eve of the Malestrom. I recomend this book highly and know any of the people reading this would enjoy every word.
