Summary: Poor
Review: A very poorly written work and a disapointing read. Unless you just have to read everything Dragonlance puts out, wait for something better.

Summary: Not classic Dragonlance, yet a very good read!
Review: After reading the reviews I was reluctant to buy this book, however, something inside of me said do it! So I bought it and was not dissapointed. Jean Rabe is not Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, however her writing is nonetheless good and easy to read. If one is looking for classic dragonlance action as it was before the Fifth Age you will be sorely dissapointed, however, taken on its own merits, Jean is doing an excelent job on making the age of Mortals a worthwile one to explore. I get the sense that Jean is a spritual person who has had a desire to see that mysticism inside her mind and soul come out. For in her portrayals of Goldmoon, I get a sense of one who is longing for something they have never had int heir life! I believe that this is the cause of most of the disention amongst readers whom are just looking for a good fantasy to loose themselves in which is exactly what Weis and Hickman did with the first books. Enjoy it or hate it. Or simply just take it as a good story in its own right! By the way, the discovery of the new clerical magic is quite well portrayed in the Silver Stair!

Summary: Jean Rabe fails miserably once again.
Review: Against my better judgement, I picked up a copy of The Silver Stair, and it was horendous. Rife with shallow, underdeveloped characters, discontinuity with the series, and a plotline unrealistic within the established context of Krynn, The Silver Stair was plagued by the same literary shortcomings that made her Fifth Age trilogy so painful to read. If Jean Rabe can get dross such as this published, it does give me hope, however, about the prospects of my own writing career.

Summary: Another weak attempt by Jean Rabe
Review: All the Dragonlance books I have read by her have been poor. She just cannot get me into the story. She does not have the skills.

Summary: Healing powers come back Krynn!!
Review: As a writer, Jean Rabe either runs hot or cold. There's no middle ground with her. Her novel Marquesta Kar-thon: I started reading & then quit. I'll go back & read it sometime. Her 5th Age trilogy was god-awful stupid. On the other hand, her Dhamon trilogy - while I haven't read them yet - sounds promising. This book is very good. You know there's a threat to Goldmoon but you don't know where it's coming from until springs up. I was completely surprised. The characters are well-developed, the plot's strong & it draws you in. The rules by which they recieve their clerical powers in this book actually makes sense unlike the rules they made for the wizards in the 5th Age. A good read.

Summary: Below Average Dragonlance Offering
Review: As far as Forgottten Realms or Dragonlance books go, this is one I wish I hadn't paid money for. The plot is thin and the narrative wanders. The book drags on forever with unexciting subplots. Borrow it from a friend or the library but spend your hard earned money elsewhere.
Rating: 
Summary: Another great Dragonlance book.
Review: Despite a few flaws I found this book quite entertaining. Following Gair's story was a very interesting read, and if this is how the Age of Mortals trilogy is like I'm sure it's hardly as bad as some people say. One thing that was odd, how was the mage at the start using magic as he did?

Summary: The Silver Stair
Review: First, DRAGON LANCE books are world class fanasty books. Unless you know nothing about reading these types of books you have no reason rating this book so low. All books by Jean Rabe are of the greatest stories told throughout DRAGON LANCE saga. The Silver Stair just happens to be my most favorite DL ever because theres just so much going on throughout the story. "Just read it"! DRAGON LANCE rules all others fail to come close.
Rating:
Summary: Dry and disjointed. Not worth the effort.
Review: Given Rabe's previous work on the Dragons of a New Age Trilogy, I was reluctant to pick up this book in the first place. I wish I'd resisted. For those who've endured the aforementioned novels, it should be noted that 'The Silver Stair' is definitely an improvement on her earlier work, but it's still dire. It's laden with inaccuracies that instantly spoil the sparse atmosphere that had been built up, notably Knights of Takhisis building a keep in 352AC (almost twenty years before they were founded), a sorcerer running about on a ship only a year or two following the Second Cataclysm and Goldmoon ascending the Stair without a hint of her fear of heights showing. Even putting all that aside, the story's bland and the plot drags. Only stubbornness made me read it through to the end.
