Nothing to Offer...But it Past the Time,
By jeffaunkepi@earthlink.net (SEATTLE) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Riverwind the Plainsman (Dragonlance: Preludes, Volume 1) (Paperback)
This is not a good book. The plot was simple and unexciting. I never once found myself eager to find out what happened next. The way things unraveled were horrible. The climax was boring, there was no mystery, and a lot of filler. The characters were uninspired. I did not connect with any of the characters and did not care what happened to them. This book is not written well. It seemed rushed. I will think twice about reading anything by Paul Thompson. Dragonlance was looking for a way to sell a book...instead they sold me crap.....

This review is from: Riverwind the Plainsman (Dragonlance: Preludes, Volume 1) (Paperback)
Well I think the title really says it all. The second half of the book was fantastic! But it was really hard for me to get through the fist part of the book. It was just really long and dry. But still very worth a read.

Before he was a Hero,
By Myra Schjelderup "Ignolopi" (Salt Lake City, Utah, USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Riverwind the Plainsman: Preludes, Volume Four (Mass Market Paperback)
This starts when Riverwind is still in the village, and he is trying to win the hand of the Chieftains Daughter, Goldmoon, in marriage. But as Riverwind believes in the old gods, and that religion is frowned upon, Riverwind is sent on a quest to find proof of the old gods so he can marry Goldmoon.
On this quest Riverwind finds an underground city of elves, ruled by a powerful female elf. He spends most of his adventure here, and learns much about the secrets and plots of the city. The authors did a good job in this book, though Riverwind isn't a very likeable character. The story is good, and if you have read other Dragonlance books involving Riverwind, it's nice to know what's happened to him in the beginning. If you haven't read any D.L. books yet, I recommend starting with Dragons of an Autumn Twilight.
