Summary: Surprisingly Good...
Review: This is easily the best written dragonlance book I've read in a long time, and even more easily the best book of the Chaos War Series. I mean it was just greatly done, excellent job by Douglas Niles. The action scenes were well put together, good word flow, description, everything was great! Very surprising for a Chaos War book, but I'm not complaining about that.My only complaint is that things died too easy, but hey I can live with that. Three of my favorite things were: the way it was set up, most DL books are chaotic but this one was well ordered with a beginning, a middle, and an end. Great Information on the elves, tons of things on how the Senate is held, how Qualinost is set up, good job there. And last, Niles was able to keep the characters (Gilthas, Alhana, Porthios, etc.) true to the way Weis and Hickman wrote them. He didn't advance the characters much, but he did keep them true, and that's more than I can say for most DL authors. Final Thought: If you only buy one of the Chaos War Series Books then buy this one. Just make sure that you read "The Second Generation" by Weis and Hickman first, there's a short story in there that goes hand in hand with this one.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: This was a very good book. Alreday in the first few chapters, we are brought into the war in cleansing the lands of silvanesti. The book then took on a good pace to tell about the conflicts about the Knights of Takhisis and the elves of Qualinesti. The only thing that i would like to know more about in this story is the ending and about Porthios. This book is REALLY good and i recommend it to all DragonLance fans.

Summary: Excellent novel, More of the same please!!!!
Review: This was an excellent novel, as are all the "histories" series. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, as I also enjoyed the "Elf war" series and the "Dwarven nations" series, and Kagonesti et al, this truly was worth reading. The only fault, being that it finished, far too early, I could have read several more chapters happily, especially, if it would have allowed more development of the story ending from both the point of view of the dragon, but also of Porthios, and his family, and the future of the elven peoples. Please may we have a sequel, or two!!!!

Summary: For a book that is not about Raistlin, it's really good
Review: To be honest, wasn't expecting much from this book. I only read it because I was hoping for more info about how Qualinesti handeled the Choas War. I was really inpressed. The plot is excellent, and apparently, I was the only one who liked the characters. Gilthnas was surprisingly well written, but I would have liked to see more emotion in him. I really like the parts about Gilthnas and his Kagonesti wife. I reccommend this book to everyone.

Summary: Good all around book...
Review: Well I have started reading these "Chaos Wars" books, "The Doom Brigade" being the first, this one the second. But as for TPK, this was an excellent book from beginning to end. It is actually told in "flashback" mode, but the only evidence of this is that the story tellers comment at the end of most chapters, which I think is a very nice touch. It is split into 3 sections, which is also nice because it gives the book a "larger" feel that what it is. Very action packed, and the characters are well developed. Overall a nice read. Only thing I didnt like was that it was pretty short (~300 pages). Im used to those R. Jordan books that are so long and detailed. There were definitely areas that Niles could have wrote more on, but I'm not going to hold that against him one bit. 2 thumbs up.

Summary: Now why can't all non-Weis-Hickman DL books be like this?
Review: When I started this book, I never really expected it to be SO great because most of the books that are not main books for the Dragonlance series are not to good, but this book rivals some of the Chronocles and Legends. Gilthas became one of my favorite DL characters in this book, but when I first read about him in The Second Generation I hated him. The plot was exciting and left you wanting more. This book has the extreme priviledge of being one of the most worn and frayed on my bookshelf and I've had for less than a year!

Summary: Chaos strikes Qualinesti!!
Review: While the title leaves much to be desired - and in fact makes you weary of the book - this is a good book, detailing the time surrounding The Chaos War in Qualinest. This novel has it all: treachery, plotical intrique & plenty of action but it isn't neccessarily about Porthios vs Gilthas has the review leads you to believe. Give this one a read. BTW, it ends with a twist. I'd still like to know what events transpired in Silvanesti.

Summary: Hold the Horses
Review: Whoa, Whoa, Whoa. Correct me if I'm wrong here but I don't believe this book holds true to Dragons of a Fallen Sun. I am going to ruin the ending right here so if you are planning to read this book continue to a different review. At the end we see Porthios fall off his gryphon and his face becomes dissfigured by the Chaos Dragons flame. Then he is taken to the wilderness by the wilder elves never to be seen again. In the new WOS series by the great W&H the exiled king has now grown a new face and he is communicating to his wife Alahna. Please if i am wrong someone inform me of my mistake, but if I happen to be correct please in the future can the writers of Dragonlance keep their stories straight.
