Summary: A Journey I'll Never Forget
Review: I read these books when I was younger, immediately after having consumed the Chronicles of Narnia and Prydain, although these books are aimed at an older audience. I credit these books and the Prydain Chronicles by Lloyd Alexander as the novels that really gave me a jump start in the fantasy genre and definitely recommend it for all fantasy readers, especially if you're just starting out, this is a great place. Now on to the story...Sorak the Nomad, an elfling and the only one of his kind in the world, remains to be one of my favorite characters ever, ranking right up there with Raistlin Majere and Taran Assistant Pig-Keeper. He far surpasses Drizzt Do'Urden. Drizzt isn't anywhere near Sorak's league. Sorak could kick Drizzt's "butt", although he isn't as grotesquely overly powerful, but he lives in a far harsher world where brutality thrives and the weak and timid are left as carrion. This capriciously cruel world makes the Underdark look like a day care center. Take everything you know about magic, dwarves, elves, and dragons, and set it aside in the world of Athas. Although I can't recommend it over Dragonlance, I definately recommend Dark Sun and these books in particular over Forgotten Realms. After you finish with the Tribe of One Trilogy, don't forget to continue with the Sorak Saga in The Broken Blade. If you ever read this Simon Hawke, thank you for this epic adventure, it will be close to my heart forever.

Summary: Great book with a couple of original touches
Review: I recommend this to everyone who likes Dark Sun-books and adventure. It has a great main character and is interestingly attached to a greater plot which involves the Sage. Lots of action and character development.

Summary: Sorak is an elfling that has split personalities like Shade
Review: the elfling Sorak has a split personality, and each personality can control his body and has their own abilities. Shade is the merciles killer, the Guardian has psionic powers, and more are still in his head. A must read for any Dark Sun and fantasy reader. And also has references back to Troy Denning's books with Rikus and Sadira.

Summary: Good but unfinished
Review: The novels were exciting with a steady head of pressure building non-stop till the end. It left me wanting more. Too many questions were left unanswered and the story ended abruptly as if the author had tired of the telling.

Summary: I Read It, Unfortunately
Review: The premise is bad enough. Two ideas that probably should never be mixed are in this book. Idea number one is fantasy literature. Idea number two is a protagonist with multiple personalities. Put them together and it spells trouble. There's a saying that too many cooks spoil the broth. In this case, too many protagonists and too little bodies create a rancid pot. As stated before, the hero is a fierce fantasy warrior, who conveniently has multiple personalites after a long ordeal of being abandoned in the desert. Think of him as Sybil meets Conan. The plot is threadbare, and has something to do with him and his " tribe of one " [cute way to get a subtitle] going to a city. That's all I could extract from the plot. Every time a new character was introduced, I found myself wondering if they were a real, external character or just part of his village-in-his-head. Give the man some credit, though - if my life had such vapid dialogue to soundtrack it I'd turn into a million people too. Hawke has no feel for the genre at all. He might as well be writing a story for a low class porno magazine. Except they'd probably ask him to change the concept a little. Even they have standards. Halfway through, I was regretting that I didn't have another person to change into. My only comfort was that I did not buy the book. Only for fantasty fans who are gluttons for punishment. Whoever came up with such a ridiculous premise should be banned from ever writing another book. The most horrifying thing about this book? - The promise of two sequels.
