5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Work, December 27, 1999

By	"vadric" (NC, USA) - See all my reviews

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 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best dragonlance books., October 8, 1998

By	J. G. Bannan "the_hooded_one" (New Zealand) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I decided to buy this book only because it was a dragonlance. I was pleasantly surprised how good it was. Vinas starts out as a fighter for good. His old man dies so he becomes evil. After years of fighting for the evil empire of Ergoth he becomes a rebel and fights for good again. The only mention of the knights of Solamnia is on the very last page. I didn't care though. The battle scenes in this book were detailed and fast paced. A definite buy.
