First Sentence
Sometimes the only thing separating life from death is timing, that split second on the threshold of mortality when the rock is only a foot above your head, the horese's hoof is inches away from your face, the sword blade is swinging toward your torso, or the runaway wagon full of ale barrels is only a single rotation of the wheels away from your body.

Worth the read and then some!,
By "cliniqueman352" (Oxford, OH United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: City of the Lost (Mass Market Paperback)
This is one of the most engrossing Dragonlance novels I have read, outside of the core storyline. Linsha's character is well-developed and interesting, and the politics and intrigue of the book had me turning page after page. I can't wait for the next one! One suggestion for improvement: a map of the city and its immediate environs would have made the story easier to follow. Otherwise, nigh perfect.

By Danny K. Marshall "Master Storyteller" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: City of the Lost (Mass Market Paperback)
I was waiting to read this because the third book of the tilogy is not available. I took this on a recent flight, it is great and I see why the third book sold out. I am hoping that by the time I finish the second book there will be a re-print. This is a don't miss in the Dragonlance series, but don't buy it if you can't wait for the third book to go to print again.

Mary Herbert is staking her claim to the Dragonlance world,
By Andrew Gray "Beezer Review" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: City of the Lost (Mass Market Paperback)
City of the Lost is the first book in the Dragonlance: Linsha Trilogy. With any first book of a trilogy a good deal of time is spent setting up the story and characters. Mary Herbert does it in a way that doesn't feel like an 'information dump', it feels more like a part of the story, which is a nice change of pace.
Th story itself deal with Linsha being a knight and some of the trials a female knoght faces. Yet, that isn't all. Throughout this book there is a good mix of action and story building. The past 3-5 years have been a down time in the Dragonlance world as there hasn't been many 'good' bboks. Yet, Herbert stands tall with a captivating story and a hero that we can believe in. If you're a fan of the Dragonlance world I suggest you pick up this book. Herbert is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. Hopefully you will feel the same. |
