Rating: Summary: Vinas Solamnus Review: It's me again. Okay, well, this was a pretty good book, but I've still read better. It got boring after a while, but then it got better. It had a kind of dissapointing ending, but it was still pretty good. It was the second book that I read in the Dragonlance series, and I'm working on my third now. I'd give it three stars because even though it was good, there are still some better ones out there.
Rating: Summary: A well-written, if somewhat misguided book Review: Several of the reviews you'll see for this novel talk about how they wish it talked about the Knights of Solamnia. Although it doesn't, it does talk about the early life of their founder. In my opinion, it's well worth the money.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Story of the Greatest Legend in Krynn's history Review: This book is a great story of Vinas Solamnus, and his early, evil years, and his later, thoughtful, wise and reflective years. If you like action and suspense, this is the Dragonlance book for you. I was happy to realize that it was everything I expected it to be. It kept me on the edge of the seat for days. I am a very experienced reader, and this book rates in my top 3. This book is especially exciting if you are interested in the history of Krynn. You would have to know a lot about the history of Krynn to understand this book to the maximum. As a warning, this book is not about the Knights of Solamnia, if for some reason that is your sole purpose for buying this book. I recommend this book strongly to those who are experienced Dragonlance readers, and wish for another great book from the World of Krynn. If you are new to the World of Dragonlance, I suggest that you learn a little bit about the timeline and history of Krynn before you attempt to read this book.
Rating: Summary: Good but what's the hurry? Review: This book is more about Vinas Solamnus than the Knightshood and it's founding. I found that the story might have been better if the writer had written it much longer, maybe even another book. We skip constantly by 6-15 year leaps in the early parts of the book, which made the character two-dimensional. A good book but buy at your own risk. Huma was much better!

Rating: Summary: The best DragonLance book ever written! Review: This book is the best DragonLance book ever written. Once I picked it up I couldn't set it down. It has lots of fast-paced action and the plot is very interesting too. This book is the long-awaited DragonLance book that deals with the knighthood, and believe me it was well worth the wait!
Rating: Summary: Best Dragonlance I've ever read! Review: This book was awesome! Right from the start it reels you in with Vinas trying to get into the army of Ergoth. Throughout the entire book battles and an empresses evil plans keep you reading unless you are called of for some reason. I read it in one night and I enjoyed so much i had to write this review. Compared to some of the other reviewers i liked the ending. This author should write more withen the Dragonlance series for this one was excellent!
Rating: Summary: A great book for those who like action/early times of Krynn Review: This book was really interesting and action-packed. Battle scenes start early in the book, and Vinas Solamnus is a great..um, role model, at least towards the end. BE FOREWARNED-This book is NOT about the founding of the Knights of Solamnia. It is about how Vinas changed from being good, to evil, back to good again. Sometimes, you can get confused because the years jump quickly in this book. Empress Phrygia is kind of a nut, so I think J. Robert king couldve omitted the parts of how Phrygia and Caitiff the lich tried to trick Solamnus. But, then the book wouldve been really short, so..I guess its a good thing that he kept it in. All in all, great book, worth it all!! I recommend it for experienced Dragonlance readers.
Rating: Summary: Why the hurry?? Review: This is one of the best books I've read in the DL serie. But why did it have to end so lousy? It seemed to me as if the writer had to get the book done so TSR could make another bundle of money on it. If only he had used about 150 more pages he could actually have told the tale of the knighthood instead of just letting a bit of lightning hit a stone and calling that the end.
Rating: Summary: Avoid this like the plague Review: This is the worst book of Dragonlance I have read, if this is the story of the founder of the Solamnic Knghthood then is a kender tale, Vinas is described as cruel man for 3/4 of the book then suddenly decides to fight for the poor, it lacks consistency in story of te novel and story of the world.
I dont belive other people is giving this book 5 or 4 stars it simply sucks, I gave it 1 because I cant give it 0.
I will never buy another book from this author in my life, period.
