2.0 out of 5 stars Just Average., December 26, 2008

By	Joshua M. Biggs "Dragonlance Fan" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Well, after the first book of the Villains series. I had hoped that Mike Williams continue his streak of getting a little bit better... Unfortunately it was not met to be. This is the worst book in the series.. as opals are mentioned (again) but at a pathetic rate in this book and the adventure here is just not exciting and predictable... It's rather unfortunate since the Dark Queen is supposed to be the ultimate villain in Dragonlance. Not terrible... just not good. Average at best.

2.0 out of 5 stars Worst Dragonlance I've read thus far., October 5, 2000

By	"jefhed" (Springfield, Mo United States) - See all my reviews

This book was pretty weak. I didn't like the way that I was the least bit interested until one half way through the book. But I pushed on. Some of the characters were decent. I liked the elven interpreter and the mute slave. After that it was the same old same old from the Williams'. I especially couldn't figure out who the hero or even the main character was supposed to be. Granted, the book was about Takhisis, but there is not a whole lot of chaeracter development that can go the supreme being of evil. But I couldn't even figure what Sargonnas was doing. I didn't want either side to win. I also didn't like how the author referred to the irda raiding parties. In every other book the irda are a race for good. Especially in Lost Histories II. I also didn't like the conclusion. I understood but I was confused by the inaccurate telling of the reason for the cataclysm by the incredibly long lived mute human.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Worthy of Takhisis, August 5, 2000

By	Dani Vallette (Wakefield, RI United States) - See all my reviews

First things first, the book draggs; chances are, after reading the first two chapters, you'll put it down and not return. The information in this books seems as if it was pulled out of thin air, because it is completely inaccurate to Dragonlance history. With such a interesting goddess like Takhisis, it's amazing that someone could write such a horrible book. And believe me, it is horrible.
