1.0 out of 5 stars was this even dragonlance?, December 28, 2001

Wow, im really disappointed in NVB's latest work.

I really wish some of these dragonlance authors would do a little more research. I had recently finished a good dragonlance book called kindred spirits. the end of that books talks about how kethrenans brother was the mastermind behind the entire affair leading to tanis being born.
This book acts like that book doesnt even exist.....kindred spirits? WHAT kindred spirits.
another small fact that the author included into this book that shows a complete lack of research: she states the hill dwarves were formed because of the cataclysm when almost every other dragonlance book out there talks about (including the dwarven nations trilogy) how the hill dwarves were formed right from the beginning of thorbardins existance

This kind of misinformation is terribly distracting from an otherwise descent story. NVB definitly has the story writting ability but she MUST know a world before making up facts about it

the book did have good characters and good flow. as i mentioned before the auther is definitly talented and I would love to see her write more books for dragonlance in the future.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not following with the DL series, March 4, 2002

You should have to have read all the DL books in order to write for them. I did not even realize this story was about Tanis's mother until I read all the other reviews because in one of the prelude books (Tanis The Shadow Years, I think) he goes back in time and meets his mother and it is nothing like this. Anyways my other complaint is that his mother throughout the entire book wants to be rescued and hates the people who captured her then in the last 20 pages all the sudden she hates her husband and loves Brand. It was a bit of a stretch for me.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hello?..Nancy did you ever read the orginal Dragonlance?, May 30, 2001

By 

Damon (Colorado) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Inheritance (Dragonlance Classics) (Mass Market Paperback)

Book was wrote decently...Would be a lot higher on my list if the characters had not been Tanis's Parents...All thoughout the orginal series of Dragonlace and even the follow-up in Legends did it tell the reader that Tanis's mother had been raped and died in childbirth.....the actual story itself I'd give 3 stars to but just knowing that it was a lie ticks me off....who are we to believe? The creators (Weis and Hickman) or Nancy?.....
