Summary: Could have been better.
Review: It was a good story but it WASN'T Lord Soth's story. This book was so inacurate I could have written it better off the top of my head without reading any of the other DL books over. That isn't not the only problem though. Soth's decline into evil was much too rapid. He didn't go through any emotional struggle before becoming evil, he just did. I even question if he was ever good. The book starts out with one of his henchmen murdering 2 people at his command. If you want a good book about Lord Soth there are 2 in the Ravenloft series that are very good.

Summary: Great book for a great villan
Review: Lord soth was one of the best books I have read. It tells us the tale of how lord soth. The most prominent hero there was in Krynn. In this book we see how he falls from grace and becomes a mockery of what he once stood for. When everLord soth commited another act of evil . I cringed as he went closer to the dark side

Summary: Worth reading.
Review: Pretty good. Accurate to the history of what happened in comparison to other lost history books. Well written considering any dragonlance novice knows the ending. Worth reading.

Summary: It didn't do Lord Soth justice!
Review: The book, Lord Soth, I found to be poorly written and failed to explain and give good reason for Lord Soth's spiral downward into the depths of evil. The way the book was written failed to show the emotions of Soth as he committed his crimes. The author seemed to just skim over the important parts, such as the deaths of Lady Korinne, Isolde, and his two children. Even though any DragonLance novice knows the tale of Soth, this book failed in showing Soth's honour and true evil. Also the summary on the back of the book concerning Soth's quest given to him by Paladine is quite misleading since it lasts a whole chapter at the end of the book. The novel also didn't fully explain what evil magic transformed Soth and his loyal knights into Death Knights. Overall I found the book very uninspired and was disappointed by it. Weis and/or Hickman should have written the book as opposed to some novice.

Summary: Why was this book even written?
Review: The problem with people writting books as additions to a series is most clearly defined in this book. Taking a great character like Lord Soth and then making a book with absolutely no plot, and lets not forget about how rediculousely boring it all was, was quite a feet for Edo. With his "stellar" record in the Dragonlance series, what with that book about Tanis' father having "consentual" intercourse with his mother, he definetely didn't need a "blockbuster" like this to establish his name. But seriously, find a new damn series to write for. I can't believe I wasted my time, not to mention my money reading this "book."

Summary: Excellence with a twist
Review: This book is a story leading to Lord Soths Fate, but I was hoping that it would tell of his Exploits as a Dark Knight. A must read for any Lord Soth fan. *2 thumbs up*

Summary: Soth
Review: This book tells the tale of the events leading up to Lord Soth's mysterious change from Solamnic Knight of Paladine to Death Knight of Takhisis for those of us who have come to know him as Kitiara's creepy sidekick from the Chronicles stories. This book does not rank as one of my all time favorites in the Dragonlance series, but it is well worth reading just for the insight into Soth's character. Our favorite Death Knight can also be found in TSR's Ravenloft series in the books Knight of the Black Rose and Spectre of the Black Rose for those of you who want to know more....

Summary: Absolutely appalling!
Review: This is a DARK story. While there may be some contradictions from other accounts(I haven't read the Ravenloft books yet)I thought this novel showed how Soth lost everything - even his soul.Someone said it showed Soth as never being good. I disagree. Soth didn't want to have those murders comitted at the start. It made references to his nobility several times. The book wasn't about his good side. It was about how he transcended into darkness. A great story.

Summary: Well written, but all WRONG!
Review: This was a well written book, but the main events were all wrong. I enjoyed James Lowder's novel, "The Knight of the Black Rose" a lot more, (I even cried at the end!) but that was when Soth was dead and the author could have him do whatever he wanted. You quickly learn why it has a disclaimer in the beginning saying that this story might be wrong - the main facts that Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman said about Soth when he was living were completely left out! It started to go downhill from the point where Soth took Isolde back to the keep. That's not what happened. Soth and the elves made camp and escorted them to Palanthas. (Though I'm not sure if they made it there or not.) He seduced her - NOT the other way around. His first wife was not mentioned that much, but I don't think he loved her that much or he wouldn't have cheated on her. And I don't think he was the one who personally killed her. I got the feeling that he had one of his loyal knights do the job instead. And what's with all the people around in the land? There were no people that were "his" to watch over. That's why he got away with everything. There might have been a trial and his knights set him free, but there was NO mention of why he was taken to court. Also, Soth beat Isolde. Right before they got the message to go save Istar, she was crying (from his beating) and he took pity on her and they went and prayed together. Now I know I haven't read the Dragonlance Series in a really long time, but my soul knew it was WRONG! Then why did I continue reading it? Because it was well written and I wanted to see if any of the other events would happen correctly. This book really doesn't answer any questions or help you "know" Soth any better, if anything, it left me frustrated and confused - if over half the "facts" presented in here are false, how can it help you "get to know" him any better? I don't know if Soth was *ever* a truly good man, yet, throughout this book, Soth appears to be a good guy until the very end of the story. He loved Korinne, yet slept with Isolde and made it seem like her fault. Which I have major problems with...but that's another story...
