Rating: Summary: Overall a very good novel, but it leaves to many questions Review: While I liked this novel, and thought it was very well written, I think that it left far to many questions to be answered. All though this is good for future fifth age novels, it makes this one have less of an effect at its ending. Also, the author closes the book far to quickly, using a single chapter to quickly describe the future course of all the characters. Anyhow, overall it was a good novel, I give it a 7.
Rating: Summary: For dragonlance fans only. Review: A disapointing end to the first fifth age trilogy. Rabe built the story up well in the first two books, but failed to capitalize in the final novel. The story was dragged out and relatively boring until the end. And even the nothing significant happened. It seems it was only written for the purpose of a sequal. However for the average dragonlance fan it is still a must read. I wouldn't recommend it to dragonlance new entrants however.
Rating: Summary: Best of this trilogy Review: I'll be honest and say I'm not a large fan of this Jean Rabe trilogy. I don't like a lot of the things she seems to have decided not to follow. (For example, humans seem to know all the dragon's real dragon names.) That said, however, this book is the best written one of the trilogy and certainly has the best story line. I think that the characters finally get developed a lot more - especially Dhamon and Rig. The greater emphasis on Feril and relative newcomer Fiona is very likable. Overall a great ending to the first 5th Age trilogy.
Rating: Summary: Make it stop! oh for the love of god, make it stop! Review: I am suprised that Jean Rabe made it this far. Yes she had a lot to live up to (any one of Margaret Weis' & Tracy Hickman's books) but still..... after the first two you'd think she would go hide in a cave in tibet and ponder her wrong doings but nooooooo. The 3rd installment to her trilogy is yet another failure. Ripping of the heros and heroins we know so well from the Dargons/Twins Trilogies is clearly evident. NOt only does the plot suck, but he characters are not ones you can identfy with, nor are they well developed (even though she had 3 books to do it). I'm sure on of the other reviews will summarise the book for you so I wont *spoil* the ending for you. Anyways, the book sucks, and Rabe has ruined the world of Krynn. The challenge Raistlin faced in becoming a God pales in comparison to the challenge Weis and Hickman are presented with (fixing Krynn from Rabe's reign of terror)
