3.0 out of 5 stars Not following with the DL series, March 4, 2002

By	M. Montealegre (Birmingham, AL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

You should have to have read all the DL books in order to write for them. I did not even realize this story was about Tanis's mother until I read all the other reviews because in one of the prelude books (Tanis The Shadow Years, I think) he goes back in time and meets his mother and it is nothing like this. Anyways my other complaint is that his mother throughout the entire book wants to be rescued and hates the people who captured her then in the last 20 pages all the sudden she hates her husband and loves Brand. It was a bit of a stretch for me.

2.0 out of 5 stars poetry??, June 4, 2001

By	Todd N (Plano, Il United States) - See all my reviews

First off I would like to say that this book does have a good story line, that is if you can understand it. The writings that this author (Berberick) uses is not easy to follow for she uses a poetic type of wording that is not typical to the dragonlance series. When I try to read the words to creat that visual in my head of the story it just scrambles it form the reverse writing that the author uses. It tends to distract you from the real story and leave you in the fog where every thing is blurred. If you are a dragonlance fan then you will read this, If not then pass on this one for it does not work for me to be a real dragonlance book.
