Summary: Betrayed...
Review: I enjoyed the first Triology of Rabe's becuase of the cast of characters and their mission. The Dhamon Saga is more about the main character feeling sorry for himself and damming everyone else. He has a single minded mission to save his own sorry a$$ by getting the dragon scale removed and little else. I find Rig and Fiona a lot more interesting than Dhamon.

If you haven't read the first book... pass on this like you would a bad batch of chilli fries, because you won't care for the character.

And if you haven't read Jean Rabe's first Triology that introduces the characters, you really really should avoid this series.

Now if you need something to put you to sleep and a firm blow to the head isn't your style......

Summary: Twists and Turns kept my head spinning!
Review: I have to admit that I like surprises, and there were plenty in this book. I felt sorry for some of the characters, and angry at others. I like it when a book gets me to feel something.

I probably shouldn't give away the ending, but it surprised me. I am looking forward to the next book to see how it all turns out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful Characters and Creatures
Review: I'm not sure I liked this as well as the other one, but I loved the fight scenes, especially the giant spiders. That one caught me off guard. I'm looking forward to the wrap up of the trilogy, as it will be interesting to see what she does with Dhamon and Maldred, and if the half-elf comes back into the mix.

Summary: the last book was good this one is better
Review: If u thought the last book in the Dhamon Saga was good..........

Summary: A step in the right direction..
Review: Jean Rabe is probably one the most notorius writers in the Dragonlance world. People don't seem to like what her books tackled in her Dragons of a New Age trilogy. I for one am a fan of Rabe. I was immensly pleased with her DoNA books and looked forward to reading her Dhamon saga as soon as I had time.

This book starts where "Downfall" left off. Other than a short cameo in the beginning and end of the book by Rig and Fiona, the story mostly settles around Dhamon, Maldred, Riki, and an interesting draconian. Dhamon and Maldred are searching for a treasure, that when found, will hopefully help Dhamon find a cure for the cursed dragon scale in his leg.

"Betrayal" is full of enough adventure, excitement, backstabbing, and intrigue to keep any Dragonlance reader hooked. Rabe has really grown as a writer since her DoNA books. They just keep getting better. There are plenty of twists in this book to keep you guessing the whole time. The ending is a shocker and will easily keep you thinking about it until long after you are done, and will keep you begging for more. If you are a fan of Dragonlance, this book is a must.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: horrid
Review: Keep away. Buy at your own risk. It wasn't even as good as the Jean Rabe's past DL novels, which weren't all that great to begin with. The main character ends the book with the scale still attached to his leg even though the entire point of the book (which was the point of the last too). And another novel is due to come out. Bet it ends the same way.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Smashing well-paced story Rabe rocks!
Review: Rabe gets too much flack from Dragonlance fans. Many automatically brand her books with the mark of the Beast simply because she is not Weis nor Hickman.

Instead she gives us a good RABE book, her own style. With characters that are risky to write and even harder to pull off, and she does it.

The book takes us on many adventures throughout the realms of the evil Dragoness Onysablet, called Sable by we mere mortals.

We see the suffering of humans becoming monstrous spawn, repitilian slaves of the Overlord. We see towns and characters put to the crucible and sword and feel their suffering.

Rabe's writing grows a lot. Her plot pacing is not fast but subtle. She uses wording that is differnt and unique.

I must say that I found this book to be a great supplement to the War of Soul in that it fleshes out Krynn for me ....It helps me see the Fifth Age through the eyes of people other than the Heroes of The Lance... Rabe's books stand out as being every bit as strong, but different than Weiss and Hickman!

Heartily Recommended.

Summary: great, wonderful book
Review: this book is going to be a great classic and leaves you hanging waiting for the next book, which comes out in june 2002 if i am not mistaken truly a good book, the whole benedict maldred episode puts a nice touch in.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Twists and Turns kept my head spinning!
Review: This book starts out boring and well...dull but then gradually gets better as the story pans out. This book does have some cool villians, Nura Bint-Drax and Maab the Mad are interesting and exciting. Looking forward to Book 3...
