4.0 out of 5 stars Why give your favorite book a seven?, May 17, 1997

By A Customer

I've read quite a few Dragonlance books, and Mary Kirchoff is my favorite writer. I mean no offense to any other Dragonlance writer, I think you're all great. And of course, no disrespect toward and other writer. I mean where would we be without writers? Just lots of huge collections of blank pages. Where was I? Oh, yeah. The Black Wing is, in my opinion, the best book so far (unless I finish Dragons of Summer Flame and decide it was better). It takes a detailed look at how a black dragon thinks, what its priorities are, that sort of thing. The book had enough detail, but wasn't at all slow moving (ever read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?). So after this review, why give it a seven? Think about it; if I had given it a ten, you prob'ly would've skipped right over it, thinking I was "just another Dragonlance fanatic". Well Guess What! I am! You will be assimilated! Resistance is futile! MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, July 13, 1999

By A Customer

While in most fantasy novels the dragon is nothing but an unimportant plot device, in this book, she is the main character, and as well-developed as any knight or damsel. She has emotions and hardships (some of which are amusing), and sometimes one can well nigh forget that she is an evil being, especially when she shows concern for her dead friends. Khisanth (the dragon) also seems to mature through the novel, going through a series of eye-popping adventures and meeting various beings along the way. My only complaint is a dull chapter about a knight that Khisanth encountered while in her human form saving his villiage, which adds nothing to the story. One of my favorites. Highly recommended to dragon fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!, July 9, 1999

By A Customer

This book is just flat awesome. Let's face it, who ever thought they would root for an evil, betraying, nasty, black dragon that tries to kill the Heroes of the Lance? But I did and I did it big. This dragon is just flat awesome. The best part has got to be the conflict between Khinsanth and the Knight. It is the typical good vs. evil deal, except that the Knight is the only human that Khinsanth respects and she has to kill him. Beautiful storyline.
