OK…I must say that this trilogy is not as good as I remember it 10 years ago. This is probably the best of the three books however. Still however, there are a lot of unanswered questions left from this. Was this an attempt to leave loose ends to allow for more books in the future. Just didn’t grab me like before. Having said that, if you’ve never read this before, or you are just getting into DragonLance, then this is essential reading. As a standalone, best of the bunch. (

Book description

From back cover: Following Sithel's death and Sithas's rise to the throne, the Kinslayer War begins. Pitting elf against human, half-elf against half-elf, and each against their own, this border war between the Ergothian Empire and Silvanesti will have no clear winner, except for death itself.
