Description:
The original Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home--first published back in 1987--was a must-have reference for Dragonlance fans, packed with supplementary material that included short stories, songs, and recipes. More Leaves delivers more of the same and even offers promising instructions for War of the Lance dishes like dragon-blasted steak and kender rolls. (Which, of course, kender rely on for "doughnutlike sweetness to give them indefatigable energy"). As with the first book, More Leaves both hits and misses, drawing from professional and a few not-quite-all-pro contributors: some of the kender taunts are nothing short of lame ("Wow! You smell so rotten a gully dwarf wouldn't give you a bath"), but detailed bios on each of Anasalon's dragon overlords, for example, will likely interest even nonfans. The bottom line is that any DL true believer really can't go wrong picking this up, if not for patented gnomish inventions and trés cool magic items, then for inspired treatises like "Slugs, fungi, molds, and other things I hope to never see again." --Paul Hughes
