Reviews

Finally finished reading the series with my son. My basic impression of this volume is that the “postscript” to the ending is incredibly unsatisfying. Of all the things that the series cribs from Tolkien unfortunately providing anything like a satisfactory conclusion is not one of them. I remarked in an earlier review that I was going to comment at the end on the weirdness of the theology/mythology of the setting, but this book at least provides some of those answers, literally from the mouth of the gods, although it still comes across as contradictory and piecemeal.

Overall the setting was interesting enough that we’ve picked up some of the Tales series. It’s better than forgettable game tie-in fiction but not the classic fantasy series that I’d heard it made out to be.

I'm not sure what it was, but this book/series just became less satisfying over the course of the read. There are too many things that apparently are covered in other books (what happened to Raistlin), too much of the character development feels super awkward, and too much of the book just *drags*. I'm glad I finished it, but I don't know that I'd recommend the series after reading it.

This book was a very good way to end the series. This book wrapped up all loose ends and had a lot of great action.

I couldn't put it down, and I'm so heartbroken that it's over. :(

You would have to read the other books to get this book, but it is so cool to read.

Damit habe ich die 1. Drachenlanze Trilogie beendet. Leider habe ich auch beim Abschlussband keinen wirklichen Zugang zur Story gefunden. Durchschnitt.
