Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disappointing
Review: The first thing I want to say is this book should never had been written. Sure the writing is great but I hate the content. Well I am somewhat of a Raistlin fan so I'm a bit biased but that's not the point. The great thing about the Raistlin-Crysania love team is the idea that love transcends the very idea of good and evil. By making Crysania fall for this other guy once agian shows us the prejudices of this world. It's like saying elves could only love elves. This book tells us that Raist's and Crysania's relationship was doomed from the start. They should have left their relationship open ended since the authors obviously have no wish to resolve it. I mean Gilthanas and Silvara where abe to resolve their problems even though Gilthanas openly reviled her. How about Raistlin, doesn't he get the chance for his own hapiness?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I liked it
Review: The only thing I can remember about this book, that it was a hot summer. A VERY HOT summer. Very-very-very HOT. And if you don't get it, they tell it. Over and over and over and over again. If you scratch out the repeating phrases and sentences, all is left, is hardly ten pages. How on Krynn can it happen, that during the burning of the world, during the largest apocalyptic battle against the god of gods (d'oh) that a whole book tells nothing. It is so boring, that even the few battles are meaningless and the ending is hilarious. Basically, our heroes sweat a lot and then miss out on the whole Chaos War. Not just the action... everything. Crysania is utterly ridiculous and one-dimensional, Dalamar is pointless, the new, unknown artifacts (surprise!) are not explained at all, they just appear out of thin air (literally!) with a tag: "plot device, explanation: not necessary". There is simply no plot, no point in the whole thing. And how old is our lovebird, Valin? 12?!

Summary: nothing... and I mean nothing happens, VERY boring and empty

Summary: It was left incomplete
Review: This book is about Cysania, the Revrend daughter of Paladin. In Panthanas, where she lives, there is a huge drought. She is the religous leader of the city and she has been telling the citizens of Panthanas that the gods do stuff for a reason and that Paladin(the god goodness and light) would never turn his back on them, but even she is starting to get worried. She hasn't felt him near her for a long time. One day Dalmar the Dark gave her two stone called Dragon stones. One of them gives of a dark presence, the other feels like Paladin... Dalmar tells her that she if she gets the other three stones she can speak the gods directy.But the other stone are Neraka the darkest city in all of Krynn(I think).

The thing that is missing is that Dalmar say he has to go the burning sea but after that they don't tell what happens to him. Other wise it was very intersting.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Dalamar and Crysania are so good together...
Review: This book is set in the days of Chaos War and runs concurrent with the timeline of Dragons of Summer Flame. The authors did an amazingly accurate portrayal of both Dalamar and Crysania. The addition of Valin of the White Robes is awesome. If you like Dragonlance at all, you will like this book. Very few inconsistency with the overall storyline. It stays true to the spirit of DL. I loved it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I can't believe it...
Review: This book is so,well there are no words to describe it but i could say stupid,crappy,dumb....I didn't read the whole thing (and i'm glad because i'm going to return it.) just the ending and its really stupid. Whoever likes Crysania/Raistlin (i'm one of them) DON'T read this book its a real dissapiontment, as for people who don't they'll enjoy it i'm sure.But i think that all dragonlance fans probably do like them so i would reccommed everyone not to read it. When i was buying this book i read a few reviews and some of them said its stupid and that they wasted their money i didn't believe them but now i wholeheartedly agree with them...... I wish i never read the ending and i deeply regret buying it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Tears of the Night Sky; Dragonlance
Review: This book offers an interesting insight as to the escapedes of both Cyrsania and Dalamar. Both characters are protrayed accurately and the addititon of Valin, the white robe, is much appreciated. There is a few inconsistances but oveall the entire effort was excellent. It's a great read!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: not bad
Review: This book seemed kind of plain to me. Nothing exciting really happens even though Crysania makes a journey to Neraka. The Irda, written by Linda Baker alone, was much better.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: good book
Review: this is a good book for very interested DLance fans...if you ever wondered what the story is behind palin and steel meeting crysania and her mysterious tiger in Palanthas, here it is. more insights to dalamar and jenna as well; and, of course, fizban has to appear at least SOMEWHERE in the book, right? :) actually, there were also some interesting parts with both takhises [sp] and paladine.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A short love story padded out, no thrills but enjoyable
Review: This is more like a romance novel than your usual dragonlance novel. Although it cerainly isn't a bad book I wouldn't consider it essentioal reading, for serious fan's only.
