Weapon of the Dark Queen

Against a darkened cloud it comes, framed by thunder and lightning, soaring over the ravaged land: the flying citadel, mightiest power in the arsenal of the dragon highlords.

In an age of war, an evil wizard learned the secret of creating these castles in the air and sought to use them to gain power over all Krynn. Against him were ranged a red-robed magic-user, a cleric, an ancient warrior, and -- naturally -- a kender.

Their battle shook the skies of Krynn.

A decent novel, but not Knaak's best work

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 22, 2000

Richard A. Knaak is my favorite author, so I wasted no time in getting a copy of this book (also signed by Mr. Knaak himself). Knaak once again makes use of gargoyles (which he previously used in the books Ruby Flames and Frostwing), a creature that normally isn't seen or mentioned much in the Dragonlance world, so kudos to Mr. Knaak for adding some creativity and change to the DL world. The story in itself is quite decent, and even when it seems like the book is coming to a close, Knaak manages to stretch the story out another 50 or 100 pages. The low points of the book are the characters. The main bad guy, Valkyn is a typical 'Bwa-ha-ha-ha I'm going to conquer the world' villian, and the two high ranking officers Bakal and Cadrio don't differ too much in personalities even though one is supposed to be good and the other evil. However, Knaak does experiment some with the main character Tyros by working with an arrogant character, whereas many of Knaak's other characters in past books were either somewhat out of their heads/minds (i.e. the Dutchman, Shade), or fairly level headed (Cabe Bedlam). One thing I missed was much of the inner contemplation that many of his other characters had, but this book didn't contain nearly as much of this critique.
All and all, this book was worth my time and money, and is probably better than most of the other Dragonlance books out there. For fans of Dragonlance and Knaak's writing, this would be a good choice. However for someone just getting into fantasy or Knaak's writing, picking up a copy of The Legend of Huma would be a better bet for now (then one can pick up The Citadel later).

Citadel is great! Another Knaak triumph!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 12, 2000

I am an avid Dragonlance reader for many years and have always included Knaak in my best authors list since the "Legend of Huma." His new book is a fun read that is anything but clesche. What always made Knaak different than other Dragonlance authors is that he uses different aspects of fantasy. The gargoyles are a creature never before used in Dragonlance. Any other author would simply have had draconians. But Knaak strives to make his novels interesting and not just another Dragonlance quest. I gave it four stars because I thought the characters could have been better. Captain Bakal is really nothing special and the villain Cadrio isn't very impressive. But with gargoyles, griffons, and a monstrous flying citadel; this book includes a stirring story full of action and excitement. Not Knaak's best, but certainly a good read not to miss.

Recapturing Dragonlance

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 28, 2000

I thought this book was GREAT!! It recaptured the essence of dragonlance and brought to mind the original magic of the firt 6 books. Images of battles, dragons, flying citadels and wonderous magic filled my head throughout the whole book which I finished in 3 days. The characters that were introduced were both interesting and realistic. They actually made the reader care whether or not they lived or died, which in fantasy novels sometimes is hard to do since many of the characters are the same from book to book. I recommend this to anyone new to the Dragonlance genre. It was fantastic!

Very nicely done!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 2, 2001

I've only read about 10 or 15 DL books but of the ones I've read, this book is one of my favorites. I like the use of Gargoyles, since none of the others I've read included these odd creatures. This was the first book I read including gold and silver dragons. I chose this book because it has dragons on the cover and it had a captivating summary on the back. I also like wizards and magic. I just didn't like how three of the four godd dragons died only halfway into the story. All in all I would recommend this book to anyone liking the DragonLance series.

My first fantasy novel

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 7, 2000

I just recently (relatively speaking) started playing the AD&D game (last year) and I enjoyed it emensly. This book, the citadel, is my first emersion into the fantasy litature of the AD&D game. The book is set in the DragonLance campaign setting, and features many of the wonders only DragonLance has to offer. I just hope all the fantasy books are as good as this one!

I am part way into this and it's nice. I recently picked up some Dragonlance again after re-learning Ars Magica and ordered this. It arrived in time and has started well. It can be a little lacking in depth, even a third of the way through. It is paced well so you do not notice the lack of substance too much and is a fun read so far.
