4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but Verminaard is better., October 27, 1998

By A Customer

This is a good, solid book. As another reviewer stated, it IS slow, but worth reading. The author uses good descriptions, but personally I think that Flint, the King (another Niles book) was superior to this one. I also think that Before the Mask, which told the story of Verminaard, was better. Read it if you've already started the series, but if you haven't, then start on a different book, like the Gully Dwarves or Before the Mask.

3.0 out of 5 stars Somehow deceiving, April 15, 1999

By	Petrovas S. (Athens) - See all my reviews

Some parts are quite boring but the text is well written. I was deceived when I realized that it didn' t respect Ariakas's background as it was written in Chronicles Trilogy. The story is some kind of a waste of time when one thinks that it could be completely told in less than two pages. It's hard to believe that Takhisis used all of those characters just to guide her Champion to Firetomb.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's O.K., January 24, 1999

By A Customer

THis Book was O.K. And I think you should read it. I think it does get boring at some points but it is still pretty cool. I think some other Douglas Niles books are better but you decide
