This only got three stars, because Tas happens to be my favorite of the DL characters and the whole book was about him. (Even have a cat named Tasslehoff Burrfoot...Tas) HOWEVER, once the DL books begin to be written by other authors than the original pair...they're relatively crap. This is MUCH better than the Jean Rabe books though. It kind of lost me along the way. It was just too random, and I didn't care enough about the characters. I quit halfway through, right about when the plotline quit making sense. Besides that, I felt like the regular Dragonlance characters got out of character a lot. Tasslehoff was way too solemn, and the author emphazised Tanis' good looks way too much. I mean, sure, he's adorable, but she just went on and on... I think it's pretty clear who her favorite is. =) "La dannazione di Kendermore" sta a Dragonlance un po' come il telefilm di Hercules sta alla mitologia greca: i riferimenti si sprecano, ma certo il risultato non è paragonabile all'originale, pur risultando (abbastanza) godibile. La vicenda è un po' banale e può andare come diversivo, ma non mi ha tenuto certo incollato al libro per conoscerne l'esito. Si tratta dunque di un libro con poche pretese, senza contare che ritengo Margaret Weis l'unica capace di valorizzare appieno il personaggio di Tas.

Er zitten een paar dingen in die niet echt overeenkomen met andere DL-boeken/verhaallijnen en zoals iemand op Amazon ofzo schreef: Tas' gedrag e.d. wordt beschreven alsof hij een mens is. Vergelijk dat met hoe Weis & Hickman hem beschrijven en je zult direct merken dat er iets niet klopt. Hij komt soms te verstandig over, wat ook het geval was in Wanderlust (Meeting Sextet serie), die ze ook geschreven heeft.
Een ander probleem is dat Mary Kirchoff zaken uit de huidige (= onze) wereld opneemt in het verhaal, waardoor het verhaal of de context, de wereld, iets minder "speciaal" wordt.
Algemeen beschouwd is Kendermore geen slecht boek, maar het behoort niet tot de betere en is een van de mindere in de Preludes-reeks. ( )
