5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent second book, September 9, 2004

Ben Wand "I used to be cool..." (Gresham, OR United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Divine Hammer: Kingpriest Trilogy, Volume Two (Mass Market Paperback)

This book continues the story nicely. By now the Kingpriest has been in power for 20 years, and is bent on eradicating all evil from Krynn. The Kingpriest makes the wizards of Krynn his next target, and means to destroy or capture all the towers of sorcery. Again, the Kingpriest and Cathan grow as characters, although in different directions, as the plot unfolds.

There's a lot of foreshadowing, and since I've forgotten much of the other DL books my suspense is building to see how things will play out!

One thing I really like about this trilogy so far is watching how good, if taken too far, can lead to evil. The story also shows how undying loyalty can lead to dishonor.

Finally, I wish all DL novels were written like this trilogy. This series seems like it is meant for a slightly older/ smarter audience, which is a welcome change from other fantasy. The author pulls this off nicely without being wordy or overly descriptive.

The ending was very cool and I'm ready to read the next one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awsome! A must for all DL fans, December 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Divine Hammer: Kingpriest Trilogy, Volume Two (Mass Market Paperback)

I have read about 95% of all the DL books as well, and nothing upsets me more than finding information in a book that is contadicting to the others that I read.

Well this one blew me away, being that it ties in information from a number of other DL novels I was really inpressed with how it was all layed out and kind of blended in.

I cant wait to read the last one!
A well deserved 5 stars!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Divine Hammer, November 16, 2002

This review is from: Divine Hammer: Kingpriest Trilogy, Volume Two (Mass Market Paperback)

I am not sure how many dragonlance books have been published to date but whatever the number I am sure to have read 95% or more of them. Some of them are good, some great, some not so good. The first two books of Chris Peirson's Kingpriest Trilogy are by far the best written set that has been published since the Legends Series. In fact these books are better than the recent War of Souls Trilogy by the creators Weis and Hickman. I know that might seem like blasphemy, but, the Divine Hammer and its predecessor make you really care for, root,like and hate each and every charater in the novels. A terrific read I highly recommend.
