5.0 out of 5 stars 2nd best trilogy in Series!, June 10, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Sacred Fire (Dragonlance: Kingpriest Trilogy, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
Outside of the initial Wies/Hickman trilogy, this is easily the best set of books in the series. Having read just over 90% of the DL books (including all tier 1 & 2 stories), I don't say this lightly. Two main points on why specifically it was so well written: First he obviously researched the genre & tied his stories together beautifully with the known facts, unlike a lot of the author's who just write whatever they feel. Why this isn't always a bad thing it does distract from the overall product. Secondly, again unlike a lot of the DL writers, he doesn't paint a picture of insurmountable odds only for the hero's to miraculously pull it out in the last couple pages. This seems to be the trend and frankly it sucks (Outside of Mr. Knaak, you see this often). Mr. Pierson does a stupendous job of writing on a story touched upon often, but never explored in great depth.

The hero in the story goes through his trials & tribulations as a man with no faith, to one with blind faith, losing his faith & ultimately finding true faith at the end. In the process he is part of a nation the rises to top of the world stage to its ultimate & total annihilation.

Whether you've read many books in this series or not, this trilogy is a great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars The student exceeds the teacher, December 30, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Sacred Fire (Dragonlance: Kingpriest Trilogy, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
I'd come close to giving up on Dragonlance after finishing the last trilogy from Weiss and Hickman.

I'm glad to say that this trilogy has restored my faith. Sacred Fire is the best work Pierson has done to date, and he managed it within a story where the ending was already known! Shades of Titanic; cranking up the suspense and excitement of the story in this context took some real creativity.

Watching the world fall apart was like a slow motion train wreck, cringe-inducing clockwork physics with a sense of being helplessness. You wanted to yell at the characters so they'd do the right thing!

Things also tied together in clever and subtle ways. I need to go back and reread the trilogy to see what I missed.

This was a great read -- highly recommended. My fervent hope is that it launches Pierson into being able to publish works in his own worlds. If he can write like this within the well-explored confines of the Dragonlance universe, I'm hopeful we'll see even more when he's freed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very thrilling right down to the end!, December 11, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Sacred Fire (Dragonlance: Kingpriest Trilogy, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
What a great way of writing about the downfall of Ishtar! I definatly recomend reading the War of the Souls Trilogy before this one. It makes it that much more exciting because you will kind of know what is going to happen in a round about way, but the events still take you totally by suprise and the great details really bring you into the plot and setting.

The ending was unexspected, but exspected also in a way, and great! You can finish the book, and not feel like you were cheated at the end.

I have to say, that by far this is the best DragonLance trilogy I have read! And I have over 45 of the DL books total.
