Summary: This is just a bad book!
Review: Beware of this book, it truly stinks. Many people said it was good, but don't be fooled. Roland Green obviously doesn't know how to write a Dragonlance novel. The characters are unimaginative and boring. And the story just drags on and on. Pirvan is a terrible character. Save your money and buy something by Douglas Niles or Richard A Knaak, real Dragonlance writers who I definitely recommend!

Summary: Not the best not the worst
Review: Compared to some of the more classic Dragonlance novels this was horrible, but for a first time Dragonlance reader this book is great. The big problem was that it almost nothing to do with the Knights of Solamania. The theiving part was cool but they should have just called the book The Theives of Istar for all it had to do with Knights. It is better than its sequals at least. Most of the others SUCKED!

Summary: It's actually not bad.
Review: Despite all the negative reviews here, this book isn't actually bad. I found it difficult to truly get into it for the first few chapters (as the characters seemed rather uncharismatic and petty at first) but the further it went on, the more I enjoyed it. I've read better, but this one is actually pretty good. Maybe I read it too fast to catch all the "inconsistencies". If that's the case, then it's further proof that the book is good, in my opinion. With that said, if you've read any of the others in the series, then this is the book where Pirvan, Haimya, Jemar, and Eskaia first meet. And Tarothin the rather unimpressive, if amusing, wizard.

Summary: Good Book! (Misleading Title) ***Minor Spoilers***
Review: First off let me mention a few NECESSARY SPOILERS! These will not ruin the story or anything. In fact it may help you to enjoy the book. 1. The Book is called 'Knights of the Crown'. When in reality it should have been called something like 'Pirvin the Spellthief'. Why you ask? The books title implies that it will be a book about the Solamnic Knights of the Crown. When in fact it is about the adventure of a thief. He will eventually become a Knight. But that does not happen until the last chapter in the book. 2. The cover art is misleading. There is no red dragon in the book period. Now other than those 'Inconsistencies' The book is really good. Pirvin the spellthief ends up stealing a few pouches of Jewels, not realzing the importance of them until two late. Becuase of this he ends up going on a mission to help save the betrothed of the person who he stole the jewels from. (The Jwewels were part of a ransom) In this book we get to see a couple of dragons who have mysteriously been awakened from the dragonsleep. Ships full of Minotaurs. Sea Barbarians. Drunken, Insane regade mages. And one of my favorite weapons on Krynn (Especially when playing D&D) The Frostreaver Axes. I would definately suggest picking this book up. Pirvin is a very interesting character who has his own sense of honor.

Summary: Not Bad
Review: Friends of mine claim that the Dragonlance series is extremely addicting. I think that I started with the wrong series for addiction. This was a good story, but the many inconsistencies within the story and the predictability were a little dissappointing. Not a terrific story, but for the price of a paperback, you could definitely choose worse. Check for it at the library first though.

Summary: Too bad I paid for it
Review: I can't believe it took me 97 pages before I decided to through it away. I was a third of the way through the book and could barely tell where the book was going. Why did the "author" feel so strongly about adding in every magical creature known to man but they had absolutely nothing to do with the story up to that point. If you ever want to read about how to break into a house, you can read 20 pages on it in this book. Yuck.

Summary: Well.... I liked it
Review: I dont care what everyone else says about this book, I like it. Thought it does drag on it does so in a way that build the characters for later issues in the series. So all in all it was a very good book.

Summary: Engaging
Review: I enjoyed this book namely because it shows how a unlikely theif who soon becomes a noble knight. The story had many intriguing scense and a great plot. And I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more of the vast world of DragonLance.

Summary: This is a sorry excuse for a Dragonlance book
Review: I have read nearly every Dragonlance book that has been written, and this was the weakest. At first I thought it was just me, but when I read his second book, I knew it was the author! The dialog is horrible; he is trying too hard and all the characters SUCK! Privan, a "Spell Thief?" He uses one spell in the book, and he fights better than some of the most historic fighters on Krynn. Give me a break!
