This review is from: Vinas Solamnus (Dragonlance Lost Legends, Vol. 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

This was an excellent book - One of the best i've read to date from the DragonLance series, and i've been an avid reader for about 8 years. The story was very well told, very interesting, and the first few chapters really drew my interest. So much, in fact, that I read the entire book in one sitting. The book relates the story of Vinas Solamnus, who, while a relatively important figure in the DragonLance series, was barely touched upon until now. I'd recommend this tale to any experienced DragonLance reader.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Job with Vinas, June 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Vinas Solamnus (Dragonlance Lost Legends, Vol. 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

This was a good Dragonlance book and one of the things I loved about it was that you don't need to be a major DL fanatic to like this book, the story was still there (perhaps it wasn't as meaningful) even if you haven't read the mainstream DL novels yet. The only thing I didn't like in this novel was the swift ending, it seemed like King started to write just to finish the story and stopped writing to tell the story. The very end was way too short and the way that Ergoth was taken care of seemed a bit cheap. But other than those few down points, this novel is totally worth reading.

This review is from: Vinas Solamnus (Dragonlance Lost Legends, Vol. 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is more about Vinas Solamnus than the Knightshood and it's founding. I found that the story might have been better if the writer had written it much longer, maybe even another book. We skip constantly by 6-15 year leaps in the early parts of the book, which made the character two-dimensional. A good book but buy at your own risk. Huma was much better!
