3.0 out of 5 stars Worth reading, January 16, 2001

This review is from: Margaret Weis' Testament of the Dragon: An Illustrated Novel (Hardcover)

This book seems to be a summary of the book Dark Hart by Margaret Weis and David Baldwin which was a very good book. The illustrations in this book really help to put a mental picture together about what the setting and charters in Dark Hart were like and the stories about Justin Sterlings(the main charters in Dark Hart) past are really enjoyable. If you are interested in reading this book you will enjoy it much more if you read Dark Hart first.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this BEFORE "Dark Heart", December 9, 2005

By 

Kimberly H. (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Margaret Weis' Testament of the Dragon: An Illustrated Novel (Hardcover)

This one was published before Dark Heart was. This book is a begining saga. It is meant to keep you wondering and of course waiting. I read Dark Heart first and was very confused when reading this book, it did not seem to flow to well with Dark Heart (time line). There is no date on the opening chapter of Dark Heart as there is on this one. To try and figure it out I went to the copyright page on both books and realized what this one was meant to do, introduce the Dragon's Disicple series. Now she just needs to finish it, I cannot find another book for the series. If you already read this but not DARK HEART then go read it and you will feel for Sir Justin as you do for her other characters.
Side note: Why does everyone compare a new series to an old? They are meant to be different hence new series. This always bothers me when a reader does this. It seems they close their minds to the new series before they even finish the first book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Robbed, August 28, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Margaret Weis' Testament of the Dragon: An Illustrated Novel (Hardcover)

I gave this 5 stars for the quality of the writing,the characters seemed to just start to be developed and then it was over. It was a miss mash of stories that started in the future and then went back in time to, two other events that did not have a decent conclusion. It keeps one hanging. The story was full of death and violence, then with one swoop of a females influence Justin changes his years of loyalty. From other reviews I guess there is a book called Dark Hart that would have helped better understand this novella, but no where on this book is there a reference to another book. I felt robbed and frustrated by this book.
