Rating: Summary: Ugh! Review: Sorry, but this is probably the worst Dragonlance book I have ever read after The Dark Queen. The Dargonesti is clumsily written and uninteresting.
Rating: Summary: It was Monumentally Exelent Review: The book The Dargonesti, by Tonya Cook and Paul B. Thompson, is a book about an ancient race of elves that started living at the bottom of the ocean a few thousand years ago. A Queen that knows a little bit of magic and is bent on ruling the world rules this ancient race, the Dargonesti. They capture other intelligent land creatures to be their slaves and build a wall for them to protect them from a race of semi intelligent crustaceans that are in a constant war with them. I liked this book a lot because when I read it, it was reminded of humans and the lost world of Atlantis. Also, the fact that the book is one exiting adventure with magic and mystical creatures won me over.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic - one of the highlights of the Lost Histories Review: The Dargonesti are a race in obscurity, and while this book does little to shed some light on the main group of Dargonesti (it's more about a splinter group), it is an excellent book in itself! The characters are interesting, creative, and Vixa is an excellent person to center the book around: we see her faults, her strengths, when she is selfish and when she is caring. Gundabyr also plays a fascianting supporting role. A few rough spots exist - the half-hearted ending, for example, as well as some scientific errors (but I never noticed these - a friend pointed them out), and the misleading title detract this book from five stars but it is a very solid four.
Rating: Summary: You gotta love it Review: The Dargonesti are a race of sea elves forgotten about that want to conquer some land. Captain Vixa Ambrodel and her crew were captured by these elves. When they escaped they warned the land elves. Great book!
Rating: Summary: The story is about a princess trying to save her country. Review: The plot was good if you like storys with fantasy characters like elves, dwarfs, mages, and more. If you don't like storys with plots trying to save their country with characters of what I have listed, this may not be a book for you. The story is that a princess, Vixa and her friends are trying to save her country from intruders. On the way there, they got lost and find them selves on an uncharted island. There on the island they encounter many stranges things, meet a race of sea elves, and confronted a new foe. The book deals with some elements from D&D(Dungeon&Dragons) a game with fantasy characters on a mission or trying to reach a place that you can play with a group of friends.
Rating: Summary: A tenative 3 stars... Review: This book irritated me. The thing keeping it from two stars was the fact that I was interested in the relationship between Vixa and Naxos. I was a bit disappointed...maybe because I had higher expectations for the book. Anyway...The book never really held my interest; the only person that was truly enigmatic to me was Naxos and possibly the Queen. Still...As far as books about elves go, compared to some, this is action-packed. (Really, myself, I lost track of the rather tediously redundant battles...They kind of blur when the same things happen again and again). Some things are interesting, though I don't think knowing about sea elves (and this book is written mostly from a "land" elf's point of view, so you don't see too much of their minds) is exactly relevant. Well...Those were my two cents. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Rating: Summary: Three Points! Review: this book is one for action loving DL fans. although it's a little hard to get into, once you reach about page 100, you'll probally experiance problems putting it down.

Rating: Summary: CoOL! Review: This book rocked! The characters were really cool and the ending was great. The fight scenes were dramatic, intense, and suspenseful. I toally enjoyed every page of this book
Rating: Summary: Blech!! Review: This book was horrible! It was slow, and hardly captivated the interest, it was written poorly and quite predictable. I don't think I've ever read a worse Dragonlance book in my life. After starting it and procrastinating for the longest time I had to drag myself through it just to finish reading it. If you seek a horrible plot with two-dimensional characters, this is for you!
