Summary: Exceeds expectations, if the premise sounds interesting to u
Review: I personally have always loved the stout, dour races of Krynn, and Dan Parkinson fully captivated my attention with this novel. It's the best of the triligy (I think a lot of firsts are the best in the triligy, though). Expect a good tale of a different sort.

Summary: Splendid fantasy story
Review: Parkinson is one of the writers who proves that much good can come out of TSR, along with the much-ridiculed fantasy they also produce. This story was wonderful in part because it focused on a different brand of peoples, dwarves rather than humans. Writing from the viewpoint of a totally alien culture requires quite a bit of talent and I, for one, think Parkinson pulls it off here. This novel was also praiseworthy because it showed well strife between different groups and different people, all members of one larger culture, yet torn by varying allegiances and viewpoints. Finally, I enjoyed the book due to its theme of a nation that had to leave their home and create another - nation-building is not something you see often in fantasy, which usually revolves around well-established cultures, and its presence here was a nice touch. Politics rarely find their way into good fiction, but here that is the case. Recommended for those skeptical about the quality of anything printed by TSR.

Summary: Brilliant!

Summary: Oustanding Begining to an Amazing Series
Review: This book was the one that drew me into the amazing world of krynn. This story begins the Dwarven Nations Trilogy, which is one of the best DL series ever!I was totally captivated by this story. The dwarves leave thier homeland, being lead by "Colin Stonetooth", leader of will soon be the "Hylar" clan. They soon arrive in Kal-Thax, and make thier new home below the mountains. What a spirited begining!! A must read!!

Summary: Timeline is messed up
Review: This is a good book, with a big flaw. The timeline is all wrong. The Elven Nations Trilogy for the most part is supposed to have taken place after the Dwarves have delved Thorbardin, and Damon Omenborn (Father of Kings) is long dead. Namely because the ambassador to the Silvanesti in the book Firstborn is Hylar, as well as the fact that troops that fight alongside Kith-Kanan are Hylar troops. Well in this book Cale Greeneye meets elves in Kal-Thax that say they are from Qualinesti. That really cannot be, since Kith-Kanan didn't found Qualinesti till after the Kinslayer war. Which brings up the question, how do the Hylar of Thorbardin fight in the Kinslayer war, if they are still the Calnar of Thorin? The Elven Nations Trilogy was released prior to this trilogy. Dan Parkinson should have at least read it, so that they could get their stories straight. Other than that it is a very good story, and Dwarves make fascinating subjects.
