copy-pasted from my Librarything account: Some editing errors like commas forgotten, no capital letters, ... Reads well, sometimes there's a slowdown, as in switching back to another scene (battle, non-battle, ...) that can annoy, yet also keeps the reader focused somehow. Comprehendible situations, though not always easy to 'connect' with characters. Some gaps in the story, some things untold and it's up to the reader to find out/use his/her imagination to fill the gaps. But overall, good follow-up to Firstborn.
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.
Bo-o-o-ring.
