2 Stars Worst Dragonlance I’ve read thus far.
This book was pretty weak. I didn’t like the way that I was the least bit interested until one half way through the book. But I pushed on. Some of the characters were decent. I liked the elven interpreter and the mute slave. After that it was the same old same old from the Williams’. I especially couldn’t figure out who the hero or even the main character was supposed to be. Granted, the book was about Takhisis, but there is not a whole lot of chaeracter development that can go the supreme being of evil. But I couldn’t even figure what Sargonnas was doing. I didn’t want either side to win. I also didn’t like how the author referred to the irda raiding parties. In every other book the irda are a race for good. Especially in Lost Histories II. I also didn’t like the conclusion. I understood but I was confused by the inaccurate telling of the reason for the cataclysm by the incredibly long lived mute human.
3 Stars Ummmmm
Well I haven’t read the book, but lets put it in perspective. We have a book that deals with the blackest foulest creature in the Dragonlance, there isn’t a lot of room for plot and character development. And another thing, if you are evil, a good aligned raiding party is bad. And one more thing, some of you must not know DL very well, the Irda, are what OGRES(an evil race) used to be before the gods cursed them. Sure they are good NOW, but NOW they have ISOLATED themselves!
1 Stars Not Worthy of Takhisis
First things first, the book draggs; chances are, after reading the first two chapters, you’ll put it down and not return. The information in this books seems as if it was pulled out of thin air, because it is completely inaccurate to Dragonlance history. With such a interesting goddess like Takhisis, it’s amazing that someone could write such a horrible book. And believe me, it is horrible.
1 Stars Please don’t let those two write anymore books!
Bad. Very, very bad! Worse, even. This could be a very good bird-cage lining material. The writers’ ridiculous obsession with opals, which has stretched for several books now, is making me think they’re in serious need for help. Letting them write more books like this one is NOT the answer! (and now they’ve added a fascination with salt and crystals, too!)
I won’t even go into the content of this poor excuse for a book. Enough is to say that it has nothing to do with the Krynn we know and love.
Buy it if you must, but be warned! This is a series-killer
2 Stars Just Average.
Well, after the first book of the Villains series. I had hoped that Mike Williams continue his streak of getting a little bit better… Unfortunately it was not met to be. This is the worst book in the series.. as opals are mentioned (again) but at a pathetic rate in this book and the adventure here is just not exciting and predictable… It’s rather unfortunate since the Dark Queen is supposed to be the ultimate villain in Dragonlance. Not terrible… just not good. Average at best.
