Rating:
Summary: a great read.
Review: along with DL's CHRONICLES this ranks among the best DL books i've read. with lots of action, magic and even drama, this book's collection of stories about the wild elves always holds your attention and you never get to skip pages out of boredom. an essential DL book. trust me i have about 30 of them.

Summary: One of the best Dragonlance books I have read
Review: Being a big fan of Elves myself, I never really knew much about the Kagonesti. This book descended upon me in the summer and I could not put it down. Quite possibly the best history I have read. It spans well over three generations, shows everything about the relationship with the Silver Dragons. The only thing that I can find to complain about it is the fact that it spent a bit too much time on battles with other cultures, instead of describing the society itself, which does seem a little one-sided.

Summary: A great tale of yet another little known inhabitant of Krynn
Review: From beginning to end, this book is a page turner. It tells of the wild elf tribe called the Kagonesti. And the perils it faces as it developes through time. Every part is exciting and you really sympathize with the characters. This is a great book.

Summary: A gripping book out of the wildest imagination, a must read!
Review: I thought that this book was quite possibly the most interesting book that I read in my life. While reading this book Tolken will seem like the three year old next door compared to the wonderful storyline of this book. It is based around the war of good and evil, the classic struggle that still goes on today. In it a male elf by the name of Kagonos, who meets a dragon with the only means to destroy the evil threat.

Summary: Great book, but only half of it is outstanding.
Review: I wished this book was not broken up in 3 different sections.

I wish it just dealt only with the start and the beginning of the wild elves and just left it with that, instead of jumping in time in Parts 2 and 3 over to Huma and the Land of Istar.

The introduction and the first Part is awesome reading. I loved every second of it. The first wild elf meets palandine (who is called by a different name in this book)/the good dragon god in the mountains where the ancient Ogres inhabit.

The Introduction and Part 1 of the book happens many thousands of years before The Land of Istar is torn down/The Cataclyism. This book is one of the first events of the entire Dragonlance storyline/timeline/Saga.

The 2nd and 3rd Parts of the book was pointless, and a total waste of time to read.

The 2nd Part of the book talks about some backstory to Huma and the 3rd Part of the book talks about some knights of Istar, which really has nothing to do with anything, and is not important at all to the overall storyline/timeline/saga.

Just read this book for the Introduction and Part 1, and forget about Parts 2 and 3.

So actually, this book is only about 100 or 150 pages long if you take out and completely ignore Parts 2 and 3.

Summary: A wonderful epic tale of the little know wild elves.
Review: If you read Dragonlance, you are probally familar with the House Elves, but you may have only heard about the Kagonesi tribe once or twice in another story about humans or House Elves. This book explains the grand history of the Kagonesti and three of there most honorable leaders. It tells of the time when Kagonos first met the Silver Dragon to start the great legacy of the Rams Horn used by all of the tribes leaders since. This book also looks at the grim prejudgice that almost all other races put on the wild elves, and how near the Cataclysm, he human and house elves almost destroyed the Kagonesti. If you like elves than this book is not to be missed.

Summary: Well Done
Review: Niles has completed a huge story in a few pages with this novel. The time covered is amazing in itself, but the great thing about it is that it is like getting three short novels in one book. A very fun read! The only thing I would like to have seen is three books instead of one. The individual "Pathfinder" stories were good but a longer more in depth story would have been even better. Still, a great, easy, read.

Summary: The Ultimate in Multi-Generational Epics!
Review: The book was excellent. I have always wanted to know where the Wild Elves came from, and how they came to be called the Kagonesti. The covenant between the Elderwild and the Silver Dragons is of great historical value to Krynn, symbolized by the twin Ram's Horns. The fact that Ashtaway and Iydahoe became great Pathfinders when they were only simple warriors, are two stories worth the tell. Hey, for three not-too-short stories in one book...its a steal!
