3.0 out of 5 stars Decent but a tad disappointing, October 31, 2001

I picked up this book expecting a bunch of stories about well, the search for magic, but instead they're only a handful and the other stories are about kender and gnomes (which isnt necassarily a bad thing).
But the stories themselves are decent enough and the gnome stories, as always, are hilarious.
I would recommend this only to dragonlance fans.

After reading some of the other tales and short stories, I found this boring. Like others have said, there are only a few stories about the search for magic and the use of the magical items, well, ones that had power left in them anyway. i found it dissappointing. I've read better
