copy-pasted from my Librarything account: Quite a surprisingly good story about Kitiara's travels.

Was soms moeilijk door te komen, maar er zaten zeker spannende stukken tussen, waardoor je MOEST doorlezen. Het draait effectief allemaal rond Kit en hoe ze de wereld verkent, gezien haar moeder stervende is en haar stiefvader haar niet echt interesseert. Af en toe komen ook,de broertjes Raistlin en Caramon in beeld, vooral wanneer Kit terug in Solace is na een rondzwerving. En ze maakt echt wel veel mee, o.a. met Ursa, El-Navar, etc... waarbij het het zwaard van een toekomstig heerser krijgt van Ursa en later leer je dan hoe die ene overvalsdaad op het einde nog terugkomt en welke gevolgen dat had voor dat 'koninkrijk'. Wel jammer, maar misschien ook te verwachten, is dat Kit nooit haar vader terugvond. Misschien maar best, anders zou daarover dan weer een serie moeten gemaakt worden om een passend einde te vinden zodat beide personages hun eigen weg kunnen gaan. Het zou trouwens niet aansluiten bij het vervolg, The Oath And The Measure. ( )

Well Kitiara, considering how you were in The Chronicles, this origin story took me by surprise. It started off well enough, showing how she helped raise her half brothers due to her mother's illness and segwayed into how she eventually came to work with mercenaries. Kit led a tough life and wanted nothing more than to adventure away from her boring home life, find her missing father and become rich and powerful.
The pace did slow down a bit once she became enamored by a passing royal during one of her stints home in Solace and it was sort of an eye roll moment for me, but she never once became a love sick puppy which I appreciated. It would have ruined her tough as nails attitude.
I enjoyed reading what little there was about Rasiltin in this book. Hands down he will be my favorite book character of all time.
I was hoping to see more of how Kit became drawn to the Dark Queen's forces as we see her in The Chronicles, and how in the world she came to be a dragon rider. I'm guessing in the Preludes series there will be more on this.
Overall it wasn't bad. I felt Tina Daniell did a pretty good job of sticking to Kitiara's personality and keeping her choices mostly within the realm of what I felt Kit would do, but some of the plot points needed work. ( )
