Rating: Summary: ¶§8o) Cool... Review: Mary Kirchoff, love your books...all of them! This book, Defenders Of Magic Trilody and all the other DL books you wrote! Keep on writing them...
Rating: Summary: surprisingly...good Review: one of Mary Kirchoff's "better" works. Not being much of a Burrfoot fan , and after having to read a very disappointing "Kendermore" ; I wasn't expecting much when i began reading the book. Ending it didn't prove to be hard too. The plot was well enough written (Mary finally veers off from being a Weis/Hickman clone) . The characters , or should i say ; sub characters to the overall DL saga , were easy to process. The half elf , hill dwarf and kender characterisation remained faithful to the original Weis/Hickman. Not a lot of discrepancies to "Kindred Spirits" not to make it an indirect tie in. All in all "Wanderlust" wasn't bad . Wasn't bad at all.
Rating: Summary: Best one so far Review: Out of a very boring book of Kindred Spirits Wanderlust turned around and slapped me in the face and called me fruity! It was very good and the characters Tanis, Flint and Tas had pretty much the same personality Margret Weis or Tracy Hickman would give them. The book was pretty exciting too with few minor contradictions. If you read Kindred Spirits go for this one to complete the trio's adventures!
Rating: Summary: Enter Tas! Review: This volume of the DL saga has tas, Flint, and Tanis meeting for the first time... and what stories they will have afterwards!Flint is approached by a mysterious woman who would like him to craft a bracelet for her. She has very specific instructions (we find out later) as to how this is to be crafted. Needless to say that Tas enters the picture and winds up beginning the quest of a lifetime for Flint and Tanis. "Creatures" that (to my knowledge) haven't shown up before in DL novels come into play here... especially the firey-winged humanoids, there's an appearance of a hill giant, golems in the form of minotaurs, and we get to know a little of the Sea Elves. Magic is abundant in this novel, but the action in no way seems hampered by the lack of hack and slash (apparent in most DL). Tas is however more 'crafty' and 'take charge' than I'm used to, though... but he's still portrayed quite well. All in all, if you like the Heroes of the Lance, or if you're interested in starting Dragonlance (heck, if you're in the mood for a good fantasy)then pick this one up... but remember to get Part 1 of Meetings too.
Rating: Summary: boring... Review: This, my reader, was a really bad book, although of course it had it's better parts. Not only that, but it was almost as bad as III Legends. Some of the ways some of the characters acted was just stupid. Tanis, however, is pretty "intelligent" (as he should be) in this book, which was good, although Tasselholf was way to smart and not as gullible and naive as Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman usually made him out to be, nor as funny, and I really expected to laugh while reading this book, but I can't remember laughing more than three times. It's not *terrible*, but just totally boring. . .
