Summary: Avoid this book
Review: This book goes to my bio as one of the worst I have ever read. Bad history, bad caracters and especialy bad scenes. Like the one in which a barmaid figths and defeats plate armored dwarven warriors with a dagger! Her description of how magic works in a ADD world and of events in the Dragolance Saga reveals that the author had only passing knowledge of both at time. Dont take me wrong, I am a great fan of ADD and read dozens of novels set in Dragolanced, Ravenloft,Dark Sun and others TSR worlds. I had good expectations for the book.I was disapointed.

Summary: How did this make Dragonlance?
Review: This has to be the worst DragonLance book I have ever read. Not only are some scenes downright confusing but the fight scenes are as unbelievable as possible. This is a real shame because one of the best Dragonlance books is the one right after this one "Weasels Luck". Bottom Line: Skip this book and go on to the third in the series.

Summary: Slow at the beginnig, but greater going ahead
Review: This is possibly the only Draginlance book I wish I had never bought. It reads very 'long' for me; I find myself looking for excuses to set this book down. All the other books in the Heroes series have something to do with either history or with the companions. But, this book is pretty much on its own. There is some interaction with Tanis and Goldmoon, but, other than that, this book doesn't involve the companions. The storyline seemed to fit everything. But, to be honest, the interaction between the Thorbardin dwarves and the companions is pretty much glossed over in the 'Chronicles' trilogy. This book gives some more information on them around the same time that the companions were seeking shelter from the red dragonarmies. I don't have much of a reason, but I just didn't enjoy this book. I love to read, but this book didn't ignite that spark; I spent most of my time looking forward to the end. Plus, the kender in this book (I have repressed his name) is thoroughly annoying! Kender do make most stories a lot lighter, but tis one was just plain annoying - give me Tasslehoff any day!

Summary: Great Book
Review: This is probably the best book in the dragonlance series that I've ever read. Nancy you've still got the touch! The story delivers a great plot line with plenty of twists. Plus the dramatic effect that you get as the story progresses and the heroes that you begin to love, die. The battles are terrific.The humor from the kender also lightens the sort of dark murky mood you get after loved heroes die. Unlike some novels where the battle is just non stop and the good guys always win. This is a great novel! BTW I'm not 12 I'm 14 stupid kid review. Anyho my 4 year experience opinion is this book is something great and I'd suggest that you definetly read this as soon as humanly possible!

Summary: Great Writing and Storyline
Review: This title in the Heroes series by Nancy V. Berberick (a great contributor to the Dragonlance saga) is a very good read. In the story a sword named Stormblade is forged in Thorbardin, home of the dwarves. It is then stolen, then found. However two groups are trying to recover it - of course, there's the bad guys, and the good guys. Both of these groups are motivated by politics. Although it may seem like another politically moved novel, it has many plot twists and evil things happening to the characters which make you keep reading, as well as feel sorry for the characters. Besides the main storyline, there is love between the characters, and excellent combat scenes, like those in Legend of Huma (Heroes I, by Richard Knaak). One thing about this book, though; many of the characters are badly injured or killed, and only several main characters remain in the end. Much like a horror novel. In summary, I thought this was another excellent Dragonlance - Heroes novel. I recommend this book for starting fantasy/Dragonlance readers as well as experienced ones.

Summary: Interesting if not good...
Review: This was the first book I read not directly inovlving the companions. At first, I couldn't get into it, because the setting of the scene was rather mundane. But as the story heats up a bit, it makes a yarn well worth reading. There were a couple of holes (didn't the companions kill Verminaard before they came to Thorbardin?), but they are mainly minor.
The characters are fairly simplistic, without much detail into their personalities, apart from the dwarf Stanach, and that infuriating kender Lavim. Piper's flute and Hauk giving the sword away are a bit ridiculous.
This author's work may not quite compare to the Chronicles and Legends series, but is still worth a quick scan. Stormblade is OK.

Summary: This was a great book.
Review: Well this was my first Dragonlance book to read and I thought it was very good. The first 7 or eight chapters are kind of confusing but then I the drift of the book. I gave it four stars because I really like the plot and the stories in the book. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is reading the series or anyone who just likes fantasy books.
