Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The Reluctant Knight Returns

Becoming a knight has changed the Weasel very little. Galen Pathwarden is still reluctant to adventure, still out to save his own skin at virtually any cost. But when his brother Brithelm vanishes mysteriously, Galen sets aside his better judgement and embarks on a quest that leads under the earth, deep into a conspiracy of darkness, and to the end of his courage.

Galen returns to imperiled Solamnia in this exciting sequel to the top-sellling Weasel's Luck, also by Michael Williams, the bard of the Dragonlance saga.

3.0 out of 5 stars if you dont have anything better to do, December 14, 2005

By	werewolfv2 (NorCal or the USVI) - See all my reviews

This an acceptable entry level book to fantasy, it doesn't have any real depth or much in the way of originality. If your looking for a moderately enjoyable book that you can blow through in an evening then its right up your alley.

5.0 out of 5 stars Weasel again... but now called Sir Galen., March 21, 2003

By	Myra Schjelderup "Ignolopi" (Salt Lake City, Utah, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is about Galen - formally known as the Weasel, now known as Sir Galen - can you believe a little weasel like the Weasel became a knight? I can?t. I must say he was a lot funnier as the Weasel.
This is about the opals Galen received from the Scorpion as a reward in the book ?Weasel?s Luck?. They are sacred among Plainsmen, for they are magic. Brithem, Galen?s older brother (the second child, the first is Alfric), gets captured by the Plainsmen, and then they talk to Galen through the Opals, telling him to give over the opals or Brithem will be killed. Brithem is one of those people who will sit down and meditate when a battle is going on (not that he ever does that particular thing). He is sort of a monk, and the gods definitely look after him; he gets himself into the most serious messes, but always gets out without a scratch. I.e., he puts up his home right near the entrance that leads under the ground to almost the center of the earth - and in the tunnels, the Plainsmen live, one of which is Firesong, who is the one who wants to take over the world by putting thirteen opals in his crown (which gives him power over life and death - whatever that means).
So Galen goes to save his brother, talking along only a knight and his squire, Galen's new squire Alfric, and the beautiful Danelle de Calla.
Back at the castle (de Calla), Bayard Brightblade (who was going to go with Galen but then broke his leg), his wife Ellen, and a few others, find a strange note left by the Scorpion, and go to explore the dangerous tunnels beneath the castle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple wonderful, April 28, 2000

By	Steven Lin (NY) - See all my reviews

I love this book. I can't remember how many times I've read it over. It'll keep you turning the pages til' you finish, if you're any type of Dragonlance fan.
