When I read The Night of the Eye, I thought night of an eye how dull!! Then I sat down and read it and it was GREAT!!! And now Mary Kirchoff has outdone herself again with the Medusa Plague. This was one of the best books I've ever read! It clearly showed how the twisted mind of Lyim Ristahd(?) became so twisted. I've read all 3 books and this is still my favorite. The interesting thing was reading and seeing Guerrands dream and wandering so what?! Who care about his dream what does it have to do with anything? For those of you who almost put down the book when you saw that...DON'T!!! just read it and then read the third book and as a great sage once said (I think) All will become clear to one who is persistent. (May be I said that...Oh well...) Keep reading and don't be discouraged(?).

"The Medusa Plague" is probably one of the most interesting Dragonlance books that is out there. Not simply because of the storyline, but for the characters as well. When I started this series, I had no idea whom the villians would progress to be. So, needless to say, in this book the actions of certain characters were a little suprising.

Guarrand comes back to his hometown after finding out from his younger nephew that a mysterious plauge is decimating the village. Everyone who contracts this plauge gets the luxury of having their arms and legs turned into writhing snakes. They suffer for three days until finally turning to stone. (See the connection to Medusa?).

Anyway, this book is good. I didn't like the series at first. But, with the addition of this book, it gets a little better. I can say by the end of this book I was enjoying this series much more than before. It is worth checking out. This book is probably the best out of the trilogy.

OK, I admit, it's been awhile since I read it, but I remember fairly well my impression. I liked the character developments and some of the plot ideas, but it felt slow and dragging... it needed a good, overblown climax. Still worth reading after the first. (WARNING: Stop there! Make up what happens after this novel; the next one is incredibly disappointing!)

The world of magic in a better light. Even a small look at tuatha magic. Another well written book for the series. I do recomend.

This one book as well as the rest of the trilogy was one of the best trilogies I've ever read. It was in was my second favorite only outdone by the Legends trilogy. I've read over 50 dragonlance books in the past three years and this book as well as the rest of the trilogy is a must for those who wish to know more about magic in the world of Krynn. It also gives you more insight into the life of mage, and information on the citadel( for those of you who know what the citadel is). And also much more information about dimensional traveling in the world of Krynn.

Being somewhat a devoted fan of Dragon Lance books. I picked up this book because several people recommend the book in the amazon review section. Who says these reviews are pointless. I thought that this was a great continuation of the Night of the Eye. I of course enjoyed reading Night of the Eye as well. Kirchoff has a good writing style and can really develop the characters well. I really felt pity for Lyim's in his desperate search for a cure to his enchanted arm. I could also understand Guerrand's struggle between loyally to his friend vs loyally to the Art. I really enjoyed the plot and the excitment and would really recommend this book to anyone who loves the Dragon Lance series.

This book is the perfect sequel to Night of the Eye! I have read the trilogy and I must say it's a keeper. If you are new to the Dragonlance saga, then this trilogy will most definately make you want to read every book in Dragonlance! I don't think there are any better trilogies when it comes to the world of Krynn!

Again this is the second installment of the Defenders of Magic Trilogy and a must for fans of the magic of Krynn.

I liked this book. Although not many people have even heard of the Dragonlance Series, this is probably one of the better books I have read. The character development was acceptable, and the storyline din't drift off into any holes in the wall.
