This book is, sadly, inappropriate. There are exteme amounts of sexual scenes, mostly commited by Mina and her new 'god', Chemosh. I hadn't even got halfway through when I had to put it down. This book is a severe letdown in comparison with the other Dragonlance books I have on my shelf. I will repeat myself- do not read this book. It is not worth the dissapointment. ( ) Following on from the War of the Souls, Amber and Ashes followed Mina in to a new game of chess, where the Gods are manoeuvring mortals for their own dastardly plans. All other plot lines feature new characters which are well fleshed out and have interesting arcs, with enough nods to the previous novels to keep fans nodding in appreciation. Weis's standalone writing is fine, featuring a less levity than her previous work with Hickman, which creates a darker and tighter novel. An entertaining page-turner, Amber and Ashes is solid start to a new trilogy and is a worthy addition to this legendary series. no reviews | add a review
