While book 2 was the strongest in the trilogy, I felt this was the weakest. Some things that were setup in book 1 finally appear, but still leave an empty feeling after reading. It was starting to get pretty good, then I looked down and I only had a few chapters to go. This book seemed like an attempt to tidy up loose ends and even some of those were left hanging. Overall, not a bad story, just not that great either. However, like I’ve said before, this is essential reading in the DragonLance world. (

Not a great novel, but better than Niles! (

Book description

From the back cover: After the Kinslayer War, the construction of Kith-Kanan's masterpiece, Pax Tharkas, begins. Kith-Kanan and his Wildrunners have migrated westward from Silvanesti, to inhabit the newly ceded forest land of Qualinesti. The kingdom may not last long, however, for Kith-Kanan's half-elf son may prove to be an unworthy candidate for the throne...

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0786933739, Mass Market Paperback)

Final title of a classic trilogy now brought back into print!
The Qualinesti, the third title in The Elven Nations trilogy, was first released in mass market format in 1991, and it documented the ancient schism of the elven races in the Dragonlance world. Unavailable for the past several years, this title is now being brought back into print in a new mass market edition in order to fulfill the rising demands of consumers. The other two titles in this trilogy will also be re-released in the same season so that readers may easily compile the entire trilogy.
