Book Description

Series: Lost Legends | Publication Date: July 1, 1997

A Lost Gods Book

Emilo Haversack is unusually worried for a kender -- though he can't for the life of him remember what his problem is. Still, he's been wandering across Ansalon for quite some time, trying to remember what's wrong. All he can recall is the name of a very evil, very dead wizard . . . Fistandantilus.

Joined by a young kendermaid, a human lad, and a devout, if somewhat naive priest, Emilo is drawn into a mysterious quest. As he draws closer to the secret of his past, he and his friends find themselves caught in an increasingly sinister web of intrigue.

And as the conclusion of the adventure approaches, the companions learn that their pourpose is one that could catapult them from Krynn -- and forever change the destiny of the world they leave behind.

This review is from: Fistandantilus Reborn (Dragonlance Lost Legends, Vol. 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

I've read just about every single Dragon Lance book ever released, but I must say Fistandantilus Reborn outdoes them all. This book is spectacular, it's even better than 'Kagonesti : A Story of the Wild Elves' and 'Tales of Uncle Trapspringer', it might not be quite as good as 'The Gully Dwarves' but hey!....what is? The thickness of the plot and the symbolism in this book is simply phenomenal. This masterpiece is in short, without spoiling anything, the story of a young mages journey from insecure boy to one of the most evil and powerful beings in the history of Kryn. An absolute must-read!

3.0 out of 5 stars Book o.k. if you're curious about Fistandantilus, April 28, 2003

This review is from: Fistandantilus Reborn (Dragonlance Lost Legends, Vol. 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was rather slow at first, then midway through it got pretty interesting. It has little to do with Raistlin, I guess Niles was trying to explain how Fistandantilus made his way to the future as a spirit, the spirit that eventually turns Raistlin into what he is in the Chronicles Trilogy. Though the book was at times hard to follow, it explained well how Fistandantilus crossed the barriers of time, but it fell short of explaining how Fistandantilus wound up in the Tower of High Sorcery at Wayreth as some sort of spirit.

I recommend this book if you're a DL fan and want to know more about Fistandantilus.

This review is from: Fistandantilus Reborn (Dragonlance Lost Legends, Vol. 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

When I first found this book in the bookstore, I had high hopes that it would be good, and bought it immediately. Rarely, have I been so terribly wrong about a book. It was terrible, the characters were barely developed, the Kender was a Kender in name only and didn't seem or act like one at all, Fistandantilus was portrayed as kind of a wimpy crybaby, Raistlin was barely mentioned, and the entire book seemed to be bereft of interesting dialog. In fact, what little dialog there was, was mostly B movie quality dialog, along the lines of, "Hey, we need to go over there."
"OK, lets go over there."
"Gee, I like this place, lets stay for a while."
"OK, lets stay for a while."
In other words, it was boring, tedious, drawn out, and had absolutely no point. In fact, it was even more boring to read than my review of it.
