Summary: Absolutely not enthralling
Review: The 2nd book in the "War of Souls" continues. New characters are fleshed out (Gerard, Mina, Medan) and old characters are included (Tasselhoff, Palin, Laurana, Dalamar, Cyan Bloodbane). All this and no intrigue. This book bored me, much the way part 1 did. Mina's knights continue their amazing success in battle and the origin of the Silvanesti shield is revealed. Mina defeating the Solamnics by scaring them with the dead souls was lame in my opinion, and the revelation of who the One God is was so very predictable. Not my favorite by these 2 authors.

Summary: THE WORST IN THE TRILOGY BUT STILL A GOOD READ
Review: THE SECOND NOVEL IN THE WAR OF SOULS TRILOGY, DRAGONS OF A LOST STAR, IS THE LOW POINT IN THE TRILOGY BUT STILL A PRETTY GOOD BOOK. TAS IS STILL REALLY FUNNY BUT HIS HUMOR IS AT A ALL TIME LOW. THE ELVEN KING, SILVANSHI(FORGIVE THE SPELLING)IS JUST PLAIN STUPID(HE TRAILS MINA AROUND LIKE AN IDOIT) AND GOLDMOON IS RUNNING AROUND TRYING TO FOLLOW THE DEAD. BUT DON'T GET ME WRONG, YOU SHOULD READ,AND ENJOY,THIS BOOK. AND MAKE SURE TO PICK UP THE THIRD BOOK AS WELL. ANYWAY... THE BEST PART OF THIS BOOK IS WHEN THE ELVES TAKE ON BERYL. MARSHAL MEDAN AND LAURANA(SORRY IF I SPELLED THAT WORNG!!!!) HAVE A FOOL PROOF PLAN THAT TURNS...NOT SO FOOL PROOF. THIS TRAGIC(BUT GREAT)ENDING CONCLUDES THIS WONDERFUL BOOK. I HIGHLY SUGGEST THAT ANY FAN OF FANTASY PICK IT UP TODAY.

Summary: An decent middle installment.
Review: Fans of the Dragonlance series might have bittersweet experience reading this book. It is excellent and true to form but looking back I can't help but feel some resentment because of how awful and disapointing the last book was. I would almost reccommend stopping here and leaving the world of Krynn just to avoid the awful ending. Weiss and Hickman are in their usual form here but the book lacks the great characters of other trilogies. Tas's schtick is starting to get old and not and I'm sorry but Palin is a poor man's Raistlin. Mina is mysterious at first but starts to get a little tedious. What works is the political intrigue among the elves, the final battle, the dragon hieracrchy and two Solamnic Knights. This makes for a page turner that is hard to put down. Curious fantasy readers who haven't read the fist one or the Chronicles and Legends series should stay away.
