Summary: Boring, sometimes interesting!
Review: This book was pretty boring. I couldnt get into it. There were about three good parts in the whole book and I didnt pay attention to the rest of the book.It has nothing to do with the knights until the very last three pages. The rest is about a theif who will eventually become a knight. I hope the other warrior book are different.

Summary: Good for what it is
Review: This was a good tale of an honorable ex-thief named Pirvan. It was a good story about how Pirvan gained the honor of being a Knight. Only weakness is Haimya. She didn't truly serve a purpose.

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: Well, I thought this book was great, but I'm into fantasy and sci-fi so anything is great to me =) I never knew that there were such things as honorable thieves (at least not anymore), but this book proved it to me! I may be a kid but at least I know what I like.

Summary: A different kind of Dragonlance book
Review: What would have helped this book is a map showing the locations where the areas take place. To those who are familiar with Dragonlance, or indeed AD&D, this book breached a number of "traditions" -1. Pirvan the Spell Thief - cast without memorising from notes, fights better than the average fighters, has a highly developed sense of honour etc. Many thieving characters do have honour, but hardly as finely developed for one who is supposed to be so young. 2. A thieves' guild asking a thief to return the loot which had been acquired "fair and square" ??? 3. What is actual strength level of the Golden Cup ? At times it seems to be weak, especially in Karthay, but they can kick minotaurs' butts! 4. How difficult is the voyage supposed to be from Istar to Karthay to Craters' Gulf? Or is the Golden Cup just plainly unlucky? 5. How is it that Pirvan can become so well known and endangered upon his return? Unless the comrades he went through the voyage are big mouth louts who are reckless of his safety. 6. How powerful the House of Encuintras really is ? They can't keep a thief out of the room of the daughter of the House, they can deter people from crossing them openly, they can't get Gerik released for a long time, they can send an expedition to ransom him with enough force to fight minotaurs, they quibble over the ransom sum so much that Eskaias has to add her own dowry to it, a lot of things are just internally inconsistent. 7. Fustiar's and the black dragon completely lacked any personality and motivation, more info on them would have improved the book. 8. Now we learn that the Solamnic Knights are so stiff-necked holier-than-thou after all, they actually run a CIA-type of agency doing some dirty work which normal honourable knights wouldn't dream of. The title of the book is completely misleading - at least in Luck of the Weasel and Galen Beknighted, we have a more realistic expectation of the book. BTW, where in the story did that red dragon and plate-armoured knight wielding the long weapon feature in the story ?

Summary: Pretty good........
Review: When I first started reading this book, it was really boring. It had been hard for me to even keep reading it. But on the last 100 or so pages, it got really good. I noticed this about all the Knights books by Roland Green. I wouldn't really recomend it unless you are a dragonlance fan, and have read other DL books. All in all, it was pretty good, but not as good as many other books. If you want to read a good dragonlance book which explains a lot about the world of Krynn, get a book from a better author. All of Green's Knights books didn't really explain much about the rest of Krynn, just Istar, and they certainly weren't as good as I had hoped But, they are worth reading I guess.

Summary: I dunno???
Review: While I thought that the book was interesting it wasn't quite what I expected. The book is set during the time of Istar's power, but before that final Kingpriest. The characters were good, except I'm still not crazy about Haimya, but there was so much more you could do with them. Another thing was that I was expecting some jousting, some duels, honorable things like that, but instead you get a pirate adventure. It was good, but I think even I could have done better.
