Summary: Children of the Plains
Review: A very good Dragonlance book. The same type of story telling that led us to love Raistlin and Caramon shows up once more in this new series. I look forward to reading the rest of this series and suggest that all Dragonlance fans give this book a few hours of your time, you'll be caught up in the plot in no time.

Summary: Better than most
Review: I found this novel interesting to say the least, it's set back before the Gray-Gem (no dwarf's or kender) and we get the see the human's of Ansalon rise out of the mud and start becoming a nation of people in the first book of the Barbarian's Trilogy. The main characters seemed three dimensional, each having their own flaws and strengths, which was good to say the least. I found the character Amero to be the most interesting, and find myself wondering what's going to happen to him in the second part.Overall this novel was a good clean read, and I liked it. Fight scenes were good, just enough description, so I'm happy I bought it. One thing I didn't like though was the villains. They were very underdeveloped and seemed shallow in this first volume, but I'm sure that Paul Thompson and Tonya Cook will fill out their characters in the next novel. Final Thought: Buy it, it's good DL, and you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Great Book!
Review: I kept hoping they would come out with a Barbarian book and now that they have, I'm not disappointed. It's everything a Dragonlance book should be. I could barely put it down.

Summary: A Great Beginning
Review: i really liked the story, but parts of it conflicted with an earlier book, The Kagonesti. according to The Kagonesti, at 3811 PC, the elves had steel axe-heads, plate mail, swords, daggers, and arrow-heads. and the humans were allied with the elves to defeat the dragons. and balif was leading an expedition east to expand the elven territories. if anyone would lead a western expansion, it would seem to be quithas, who is absent in this book. also, according to The Dragons, the humans also had steel. the only race that used bronze was the ogres. this dragon duranix's existence also conflicts with The Dragons. overall, a good story, but it conflicts with the back story too much. 3 stars for the story.

Summary: Good for barbarian history
Review: One thing that this book does do is pull you along with the story, it's hard to put down. When I picked it up I didn't even realize how far in the past that it had been set. That turned out to be a wonderful surprise in that I got to learn a lot about some of the first contact between elves and humans in Krynn and how they reacted to one another, elves with their snobby, we're the best disposition and humans with their will to survive. It's also great that the book shows both sides of the human struggle. One side actively fighting back against the elves and the other living together and making scientific progress. If you have any interest in Dragonlance, this is a good book to get.
