4.0 out of 5 stars
Funny, serious, and all together a good book., February 13, 2003
I found this book funny, which is more then I can say for most Dragonlance books. So why didn't I rate it 5 stars? Let's just say I've read better. I rate most books 4 stars, with an exceptional few getting 5 stars.
This was about a kender, Tas (again), who stole a bracelet from a dwarf. Oh, Tas's excuse was that Flint had just left the bracelet 'laying around' so Tas was inclined to pick it up and keep it in his care until he saw the dwarf. Anyway, Flint gets the bracelet back, but then the two of them and Tanis half-elven go to the Inn of the Last Home to have a drink, and when the Dwarf and elf leave, Tas finds out that the bracelet just 'happened' to 'fall' into his pocket. He then goes to sleep, and in the morning remembers nothing about the bracelet. He leaves town, and when he's miles away, puts the bracelet on. He then finds it shows the future. Bad things, that is. Tas saves a man from hobgoblins, and then gives the bracelet to him to return to Flint, for the man was going in that direction. Tas then goes on. The farmer, in town, gets robbed, the bracelet included. Then the woman who had Flint make the bracelet comes up and wants her bracelet, and Flint is forced to tell the whole embarrassing story. And then they have to go on a journey; just a little one, to solve a few mysteries, save a squire, castle, and almost the world- nothing much.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Well written and entertaining., October 4, 2001
I found this book to be a very good read. Being and avid fantasy reader, i try to explore a wide variety of books in the genre. So far, the best world i have found, is the world of Dragonlance. The books are to the point, and without the common "fillers" like a lot of authors are using now days. By this, i mean the chapters upon chapters were nothing happens to move the story forward. I have yet to find a dragonlance book that has done this. they are usually all full of excitement, humor, and intrigue. This book is no exception. I found it very funny, thanks to Tas, and full of action and adventure. It also shows the growth between Tanis and Flint, showing you their life before the chronicles series. All in all, i recommend this book if you love fantasy. Buy it, Read it, Love it.

wondering were the wanderlust goes?, February 11, 1998
By A Customer
By far one of the most amusing Dragonlance tales ever told in the series. The story deals with the meeting of Tanis Half Eleven, Flint Fireforge and Taslehoff Burrfoot. The writing is easy on the eye and the action paces nicely older readers, my however find it a tad tedious in places. The writing by Kirschhoff entertains the reader with her clever use of words as well as her interesting plot development. She doesn't seem to bore the us with overly large sentence and paints clear decisive pictures for the reader. How ever she tends to extend a bit to the extreme. She introduces too many elements and characters with out the necessary subplot to sustain them or she fails justify their existence in the greater scheme of things. However, the book is kept interesting by likeable characters, witty and often laugh out loud writing and a genuinely interesting plot. A MUST read for all fans of Taslehoff and His friends. -Craig Michael Julich-Serventy
