Review: A perfect begining that made me seach for the rest of the tri. The characters have depth and mystery at the same time. I loved it and just started the second book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Night Of The Eye
Review: A wonderfull book. It is a good thing that someone has finally written some books with more information about the mages.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A new addiction for the Dragon Lance series!
Review: Guerrand DiThon is faced with many trials that are not all that different in nature to the teens of today. If you are new to the Dragon Lance series then this book will definately put your heart into it! The more you read it, the more catches your mind and heart.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: After the first few chapers, this book becomes very real.
Review: I am an old fan of AD&D and have loved it ever since I got Pool of Radiance for my old C-64. This is an excellent book for children who don't like to read much but have a good imagination. The world of Krynn is very realistic and the plot has some deep messages. Guerrand Dithon is a lot like are present day teen in many ways in that he struggles with what he thinks he should do with his life and has to deal with many pressures and coersion from his family. He finally finds his own path and infuriates his family in the process. He also has to deal with an abusive older brother and the shame his family brings him. I would recomend this book especially to anyone who likes to play the board game.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Comparision
Review: I am in the process of reading this novel (half way done) and I came upon some ironic information. For any fan that read and enjoyed THE OATH AND THE MEASURE, I would strongly urgue you to buy NIGHT OF THE EYE. The two books both mention a 5 year period on which magic is at its peak. And while the plot of these books are different, it makes you kinda wonder about the timing of these novels. Both THE OATH AND THE MEASURE and NIGHT OF THE EYE are excellent novels to read at anytime.

Summary: Gierrand's trials
Review: I have read this book several times and find many things renewed in my mind and many things different each time I read it. This book is the best in the Defenders of Magic trilogy. It is a definite keeper for any lover of Dragonlance.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Night of the Eye
Review: I liked this book a lot, since I'm a mage fan and this book is completly about mages. The author developed the charactors well, like Rand's terrible, (but rather funny) family. The climax was very good, it had me on the edge of my seat. Read the other two books too!

JUST BECAUSE I'M A KID DOESN'T MEAN THIS BOOK STINKS!!!!!!!!! :-) Have a nice day.

Summary: Great book, ....eh ending
Review: I think of myself as a fairly avid fan of Dragonlance. And there are a couple of elements about the series that i like; like the fact that the some, 90+ books that have been written about the world of Krynn are, well, just that, about Krynn. What I mean is that the saga, once you're into it and familiar with the history, geography, etc, you can read a new story and things make sense. Another element that I like about the Dragonlance saga is the fantastic element (ie, dragons, chivalry of knights, and MAGIC). I like that fact that this book reassures me in both of those elements. The setting starts the book around the time slightly before the War of the Lance and the Companions, in a not-so-well known part of Krynn. And since the entire book is about magic and the study of it, it gives a very good look behind the every-day workings of magic, and insight into how and exactly what magic skills mean. Magic has always been such an elusive force in the Dragonlance world, where all they talk about is uttering of words and vague things like, "concentration" and "feeling of magic inside". This book really helps to change that.

This book was an excellent read for magic-lovers like myself, and had most of the elements that make a good Dragonlance book, like a good plot, a love interest, and and a well-developed, main character. If you like magic/Dragonlance/a good read, get this book. It may not be one of the VERY BEST DL books I've read, but it's still well worth the time, especially if you're a DL fan.

In fact, my only problem with this book was one aspect of the ending (if you haven't read the book, you may want to look away now...); Guerrand's sister is not addressed in the ending... She was perhaps my favorite character(i think it was because she seemed like such a helpless caged bird that tried so hard, and i'm really taken in for those "romantic"-type characters) in the book, and everything wraps up nicely except her... what happens to her? Why didn't she find out where Guerrand lived and ran away from home to Palanthas? Why didn't she just run away to begin with?? I know that the second book continues the story, so I'm hoping for the best....
