4.0 out of 5 stars Gotta love Raistlin, August 8, 2002
Yes, the premise of disappearing cats seems a bit ridiculous to say the least, but somehow envolving Raistlin automatically gives the story a little dignity.

The plot envolves a scared city that is losing all the cats that are supposed to protect the town. Raistlin and Caramon are naturally called in to solve the mystery which slowly evolves into a murder case when town officials end up dead, looking like they've been killed by a very large cat. Enter Shavas, a beautiful official that shows more interest in both twins than is professional and is much more than what she seems. Eventually all hell breaks loose (literally) and Bast, the cat lord, comes to help.

Raistlin is much softer in this book than the later version. He gripes and complains and treats Caramon awful, but he truly seems to care about his brother. Caramon is just the big old dope he always is and I wish Bast was a real character that was used again in later novels. Shavas is a wonderful archvillain and even when the action gets a little confusing at the end, she's always a perfect story line to go back to.

This really was a good book in this series. Read it if only to see a younger, kinder Raistlin.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is one book you should make your own assumption on., June 9, 1999
By A Customer
The only reason I bought this book is because I am a big-time Raistlin fan. I thought it would probably be lame. But hey, it had Raistlin in it! I had to give it a try. It turned out to be an excellent book. In not even one chapter was there a torpid moment. And the ending was beautifully heartwarming. I reccomend this book to any Raistlin and Caramon fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Much better than the previous two., December 11, 2004
After reading the first two books in this series, I was pleasantly surprised with this one. There are only a few very minor inconsistencies which aren't really worth mentioning. The main reason I think this one turned out was Margaret Weis contributed some advice as it says in the dedication section.

It isn't the kind of gold that the original books were, but all in all, the Raistlin was believable, the Caramon was believable, and the story was pretty good.

On the down side though, the book had a couple slow spots in it that I had to force myself to keep reading through. My favorite thing was probably that Raistlin stays true to form and uses his wits to deal with problems more often than just using magic.

I would give it 3 1/2 stars if I could, but I can't so I give it a 4. All in all, it is a relativley good book with a mix of minor mistakes and redeeming qualities that I am glad I took the time to read.
