Summary: A must for anyone who ever enjoyed the Dragonlance Trilogy
Review: Chris Pierson has managed to re-capture the true spirit,imagination and heroism of the Dragonlance series and open my eyes to the world of the Kender. like most people on Krynn, I always found the Kender to be annoying and frustrating. "Spirit of the wind" gives the reader a new insight into their world and the chance to say goodbye (although somewhat tragicly) to a true Hero of the Lance. I will look out for more of Chris`s work.

Summary: The best since Weis & Hickman
Review: First off, I have to say that this is probably the best written Dragonlance book I've read outside of Weis & Hickman's work. Most impressive is Pierson's strong grasp of the characters. Riverwind was handled brilliantly and I liked how he gave the different kender separate personalities and didn't make them carbon copies of Tasslehoff like many other authors do. His pacing was also excellent, with enough "down time" for character development in between fight scenes, but not so much that the story starts to drag.I was disappointed when, in THE SECOND GENERATION, Riverwind and Goldmoon's children were mentioned, but we never got to meet them. This book rectifies that problem. Taking place after the Chaos War, this book tells the story of Riverwind's journey to Kendermore to help the kender stave off an ogre invasion. As stated earlier, the book is very well written and paced, but doesn't shy away from killing off characters. It makes for a very dark book helping to set up the new status quo in Ansalon after the disappearance of both the gods and their magic. Unfortunately, I read Jean Rabe's DRAGONS OF A NEW AGE trilogy first and so more or less knew what would happen by the end. I highly recommend reading this series (this book being the first of five in the BRIDGES OF TIME saga) before jumping into Rabe's trilogy. If you liked what Weis and Hickman have written in this setting, you'll most likely enjoy this entry as it has a similar feeling to what they've done. A quick read, but thoroughly enjoyable.

Summary: An incredible end for a Hero of the Lance
Review: I have written a summary about Riverwind the Plainsman, and when I read this book, it saddened me to see an original Hero of the Lance perish in the flames of oblivion. A tragic story all around, this book is for avid readers of DragonLance who will feel the sting and loss of a great character of a famous series.
Rating: 
Summary: Not bad, but . . . .
Review: I read lots of DragonLance books. And so I read this one. I expected more. It flowed okay. It was written okay. I just wanted more action. And I wanted the action to seem more realistic. So, overall it was an okay read. But I was a bit disappointed. I'll read his next to see if it is better.

Summary: Good
Review: I thought the book was good but I felt like it was dragging a little. Very tragic and it had the Dragonlance feel. It could have been better though.

Summary: Nice to see an Author with enthusiasm
Review: I wasnt sure if i would like this book because i was never a Riverwind fan. But the energy involved in this book really made it a winner. I couldn't believe it when i found myself caring for the characters and I also respect the ways in which he kills characters. Killing characters properly is crucial in a good fantasy and its done here. Way to go Chris and way to bring us a proper view of the plainsman we never knew!

Summary: Amazing Read..
Review: I went into this book with eyes of the skeptic, and I was wrong. I have never really gotten into "Riverwind", or "Goldmoon" for that matter, but in this book, I really warmed up to the character. The story was great, It didnt leave big holes, or you were never left wondering about things. I have allready been a big fan of Mr. Pierson, and this was no let down. I really hope to see some more stories about Kronn, and Catt, the Kender Brother and Sister. In the past, I have found Kender to be, well, typical annoying Kender, but, in this story, I just wanted to go meet everyone of them, (Before I'd still empty my pockets out, I mean, they are still kender after all ;-) ). So to sum up, READ THIS BOOK. -Dj Toasty
