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....

Summary: Extrordenarily Wonderful
Review: If you're really into Fantasy books or want to start one. This is the one. It's compelling, fast paced, and has unforgettable storylines and characters. But, if you mostly read fiction and literature and are around the age of 12-13. Then this may not be the book for you. But if u read these type of books, you'll love it. it's for all ages,for sure.The book flies by. I definately recommend the whole series. There all a "can't put down" kind of book!

Review: the plot lines in this tri are incredible. the characters have so much depth and are so realistic, i loved all of them even that Bezzle guy or whatever his name is. this tri definately ranks up there with the legend of huma tri and the Legends tri.

Summary: Great story; a great addition to the DL world
Review: This book does not take the turn of the usual Dragonlance books, meaning it does not contain any spells from Raistlin or borrowing from Tas. BUT this book and the entire trilogy is an exceptional addition to the Dragonlance world. I greatly enjoyed this book, and series, due to the fact that I love the world of Krynn for its magic and this book is full of it! Magic that is! This series opens the door for a new set of magicians and a new order of magic. I highly recommend this book and this series to any fellow magic lovers that frequent the world of Krynn

Summary: Great Intro to the Magic in Krynn.
Review: This book provides alot of information about the three orders of magic in Krynn. A vague story of the Cataclysm and the Lost Citadel is told well in this story. For the storyline, I found it pretty interesting. There are several plot twists, which reveal what actually happened in the previous chapters. The author, Mary Kirchoff, describes objects in the story very well, which makes the readers imagine the world better. The characters' feelings are all very different, not just one or two similar characters. Overall, I thought this was a very well-written book for starting Dragonlance readers and the experienced one.

Summary: A Dark Eye Watching Krynn...
Review: This is a great book, depicting the attempts of a young man, one Guerrand DiThon, who wishes to become a mage, despite the orders of his older brother, Cormac, and Cormac's influential wife. But when a mysterious man wearing red robes named Belieze rolls into town and gives Guerrand a magical piece of glass that allows him to see to far places, he and his familiar, a seagull named Zagarus, both set out to the Tower of High Sorcery in Wayrenth to study the arts of magic and, perhaps, even take the Test and become a legend. Studying under Justarius, Guerrand soon learns of a scheme that would undo the whole of Krynn. Belieze plans to enter the magical Citadel where all the knowledge of magic is stored! Will Lyim, Guerrand's friend and Belieze's apprentice, fall victim to the evil mage's intentions? Or will Guerrand find himself in an inevitable struggle with the Master of the Red Robes? This awry tale will take you on a trip to Nuitari and back, so hold onto your hats and let Mary Kirchoff, the author of Wanderlust and Kendermore, sweep you away to a land known as Krynn.

Summary: good, amazing, thrilling, and the best dragonlance book.
Review: This is the best dragonlance book I have read. If you have enjoyed any of the mages in the dragonlance series including raistlin. You will love this book. Raistlin now will not be in it but it has the most magic put into the book then the dragonlance authors have created. Mary Kirchoff is a great writer. If you have read the chronicles they are also good, but my opinion there is no better mage, sorcery book that I have read.
