The Summer of Chaos swept its devastation across the world of Krynn. In its wake, foul dragon overlords of immeasurable power conquered Ansalon and remade the lands in their own image.

1.0 out of 5 stars May the gods of Krynn return just to rid us of this book!, July 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Eve of the Maelstrom (Dragonlance: Fifth Age) (Mass Market Paperback)

I truely wish i could rate this thing any lower, i'm rating the series in total. it deserves just as much attention. My god please help me, this is awful. Blister is about the dumbest Kender to live, if you want to call her a kender, she sounded off to be more like J.R.R Tolkien's Hobbit, only with stupid ideals. Its so amazing how none of the characters has any real depth, that is what happends when you attempt to write about characters which arent' taken from real role playing, they have no personality and are all seemingly the same, and the whole deal of Goldmoon Dying yet not, is really annoying. I am truely crushed that TSR allowed this thing to by pass into publication. Is there anything good about this book. well i'll hand it to Rabe, she knows how to write when coming to the Dragons, and that is about all i could stand in this book. If you start reading the series, you will find that it has no end, and that the final chapter really doesn't lead to anything, and you are once more where you started. In short words, this book isn't worth your money, or time. a true shame to the dragonlance saga.

2.0 out of 5 stars Keep Trying, May 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Eve of the Maelstrom (Dragonlance: Fifth Age) (Mass Market Paperback)

Yet again, I'm sorry for this. Why would a 500 ft., aspiring to become a god, magically talented dragon be vanquished by a normal guy and a girl with a helmet that functions as a squirt gun? Why would people wait to go after dragons when they're all together? WHY DID ANYONE LET THIS BOOK GET PUBLISHED???? I apologize if I offended anyone.

2.0 out of 5 stars Rabies., August 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Eve of the Maelstrom (Dragonlance: Fifth Age) (Mass Market Paperback)

Dark dragons are supposed to be treacherous! They're not suppposed to want to help each other! I can hardly recognize Krynn. Maybe that's why there are some five-star reviews.. They don't like Ansalon the way Weis and Hickman wrote it. Almost nothing is accomplished. All the book serves to do is get Feril a garden hose, Blister a medallion, and get Rig and Fiona together. Yuck! Slightly superior to the others in this disgusting series...but still a candidate for book-burning. Amen.
