Product Description
Obsession

At long last, the story of the beautiful dark-hearted Kitiara Uth Matar. This compelling novel tells the story of the birth of her twin brothers, the warrior Caramon and the frail mage Raistlin, and Kit's admirable role in their upbringing.

But her youthful mercenary deeds and increasing fascination with evil throw her into the company of a roguish stranger and band of adventurers whose fates are intermingled with her own. Haunted by the memory of her Solamnic father, she hunts him ceaselessly.

Tina Daniell's first novel brings to life this remarkable warrior-woman, whose credo of "the sword is truth" becomes her triumph and downfall.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not What I Expected, June 2, 1999

By A Customer

This is A good book if you want to know about Kitiara and her early days of roaming. I found it exeedingly boring. It tells about Kitiara, yes, but it doesnt lead anywhere and the ending was stupid and dull. First she meets this band of outlaws and she gets in trouble with them. Then she has anoter adventure with absolutely no connection, then she meets up with them again, then she goes off and has some irrelavent romance with this guy and then she has the final battle with the group of outlaws and by the time you get to the end, you're just plain bored.

3.0 out of 5 stars An OK Dragonlance novel, July 2, 2007

By	Mary Griffith "Random reviewer" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book was ok, but I wasn't expecting much with Kit as a main character. I found out that I hated her character just as much as I did in all the other books I read with her. It's rather hard to enjoy a book, when you can't get past your dislike for the protagonist. Other than that, the novel was written ok, but the plot was a little slow and disjointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, if you ignore some contradictions, June 23, 2005

By	Michael Carrer - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was a well written book that worked well from beginning to end. I think that Tina Daniell was able to capture the essence of Kitiara. She is out to help herself and can cut ties with the past, but there are some ties she can't break - like thinking about her brothers and looking our for them.

There were some inconsistences with this book and some others, like Soulforge. However, you have to cut the author a break - look at the publication dates for the two books. Also, these inconsistences only happen when dealing with Caramon and Rastlin's childhood, which is only a tangent of this book.

If you want to get a better feel for Kitiara, read this book.
