Rating: Summary: A nicely written book! Review: A nicely written book. I goes into detail about who and what the Dragonesti are. It does not go into alot of their daily life, but it does show alot about them. I recommend this book to anyone who is a true fan of DragonLance.
Rating: Summary: Some races, just aren't that interesting Review: Better than 'The Kagonesti' but worse than a lot of the others. The story is set some 10.000 leages below sea level and the main character is to survive there, sucking a air-filled seashell. If you are truly interested in Dragonlance, it isn't that bad, but otherwise you might as well buy another book. 'The Irda' for instance...
Rating: Summary: I thought this was an excellent book Review: i like how the author expressed the characters in words.I liked the plot and how it ended. I recommend this book to many DragonLance readers, I am a huge DL reader.
Rating: Summary: WOW Review: I read this book and this is exactly what I thought! It isn't the most fast paced book I ever read, but it kept me hooked with its details and the characters. It did seem that whenever you got to know one of the minor characters that they die, but for me it added onto the story, always making me wonder what happened next. If you like very fast paced books, I don't think this is the book for you, but if you like twisting plots, great characters, and a book that really seems to take you there, read it!
Rating: Summary: Good Book Review: I tend to judge a book on how long it takes me to read it(i.e. weather or not I can put it down or stay up till 3am and finish it,lol).3 days or less is the sign of a great book and this one lasted about 5 days which puts it in my good catagory. Very enjoyable :o)A must for DragonLance fans!
Rating: Summary: WOW!! Outstanding achievement in literary fiction... Review: I was deeply impressed with this work. I was literally riveted to each and every word. Not once in this book did I see the next bend in the road. Every time you think you have a good bead on what is gonna happen next, BAM!. You become dead wrong. This work was more than fascinating! A fantastic work. This book deal with a lost race of elves called the "Dargonesti". This race lives at the bottom of a great sea. In this book you'll see.. (1) Qualenesti Elves (2)Silvanesti Elves (3)Dargonesti Elves (4)A Kracken (5)Humans (6)Dwarves (7)A gryphon This is a absolutely fabulous read. If you are a veteran of this series, you'll love this book! If you are a newbie to the world of Krynn...you'll adore this book! -Jon
Rating: Summary: Story of land elfs encountering long forgotten sea elfs. Review: If you like stories about elfs you'll enjoy this book. It's about what happens when land elfs encounter the sea elfs, the dargonesti. Conflict arises when the characters find out the the Dargonesti want to conquer them. It's pretty cool when the main character meets someone who wants to help, she gets a new power. The power to turn into a dolphin.This is a very interesting book and has a good ending.
Rating: Summary: Disappointing story is not a history at all! Review: In a series of books titled "Lost Histories," one might expect to learn about how various races and peoples originated and how they changed through time. In "The Dargonesti" you instead get a story that focuses on a Qualinesti woman who encounters and interacts with some Dargonesti in her travels. This book could only appeal to Dragonlance fans who want to read every book out there. The story is not that well written and jumps around quite a bit. Characters are introduced and killed off, sometimes rather quickly, and in general are pretty inconsistant. The action is choppy, and the ending is mildly contrived. For Dragonlance fans, this book presents further problems. Again, it is hardly a history of the Dargonesti, it only deals with one sect of the sea elves over a span of a few weeks. And it doesn't seem that this war-mongering group is representative of the rest, as they are portrayed in Chronicles. Questions like What are the origins of the sea elves, how did they evolve over time, what are their feelings toward the rest of Krynn are either hinted at or ignored altogether. This story should have been modeled after the first book in the series, the Kagonesti, which was excellent. This was not an enjoyable read at all and I would only recommend it for hard-core Dragonlance fans.
