About the author
Jeff Sampson
18 books176 followersMy writing history: I’ve been involved with children’s publishing for the past 11 years now — I got my start right out of high school, just after turning 18. Since then I’ve published eight books for children and young adults, with six more currently scheduled for release and in various stages of being written and edited. I’ve also contributed material to ten or so other books by other authors and have put out a short story or two.
My most recent release was the debut of my original YA sci-fi series Deviants. The first book, Vesper, was released in stores everywhere in January 2011, with the next two books coming out in Jan. 2012 and Jan. 2013, respectively.
Some brief bio basics: I was born on a US military base in Nuremberg, Germany on July 15, 1982. Currently I live near Seattle, WA, where I am lucky enough to work as a full time writer. Much like the main character of the Deviants series, I’m a pop culture geek who loves to indulge in books, movies, TV, and video games when I’m not working on my own stories.

This is the final book of a trilogy that is part of the YA series in the world of Dragonlance. One must read the first two books before this one. I would actually say that one should read the other YA books before tacking this trilogy as this tackles issues that were brought up before this trilogy. In this one, Sindri is still looking for answers to why he has his powers and on his journey he will meet old friends and gain a new one in a form he did not anticipate.
This trilogy started so well as I have been invested in the main character for some time. After the first book this trilogy fell apart and this book did nothing to correct it. I feel like the author did not follow through with his plots that he set up from the first book. Yes, we got the answer to the origin of the magic but it felt like the sub plot. The majority of this book was just set up for a battle scene. The reason for the battle scene and how it played out did not feel connected to the overall arc and seemed like it was written just to provide action to make this more of an action book. I felt the same way about the final book of another YA trilogy of Dragonlance which was published almost at the same time. I wonder if the publishing company gave input and forced this direction on both authors. This book also left one sub plot unresolved and it seemed like it would be answered in subsequent books which is not the case as there are no follow up books.
I enjoyed the earlier YA books from this world. The later published YA books that furthered the adventures of these characters not so much. They felt like a last minute cash grab from the publishing company because they knew the series was coming to an end.

The Stolen Sun has redeemed this whole trilogy for me. It seemed like everything came together in a big bang. It's probably still my least favorite set in the new Adventures series, but it ended well, and left me smiling.
