5.0 out of 5 stars Following the bloodline, Dec 6 2002

This review is from: The Clandestine Circle: Crossroads (Mass Market Paperback)

As much as War of Souls follows the giant sweeping epic arcs of Krynn, it is good to be able to watch what the children of the original Dragonlance Chronicles heroes are doing... or in this case one particular grandchild.

That in and of itself does not make for a good book. But what did make this book good was a good solid storyline, interesting characters, and enough intrigue to keep you going from chapter to chapter.

I don't mean to spoil anything but not all details get resolved, but it does leave enough open for a true sequel (rather than the following Crossroads novels which are separate stories) that I would be very much inclined to read.

A few of the details are easy to figure out on your own in this book, and there are a few details you want to slap the main character for not seeing. But to be able to read through the boatload of events going on in one city existing in the location in Ansalon that screams 'Please Gods! Destroy us now!' is very much the treat.

3.0 out of 5 stars A boring series, Oct 27 2002

By

Andy. Gillum (indian mound, tn) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Clandestine Circle: Crossroads (Mass Market Paperback)

I was so looking forward to this trilogy. The look of it just promised a great read....but lead to such a disappointment.

The characters were likeable enough & the plot was good but I was left with an empty feeling at the end. I've come to expect a certain amount of action out of DL books & this had so little of it. This was more of a plotical intrique novel which is fine but it could've done with some more movement.

This is one of those books where the words are just crammed onto the page. The author spent too much time describing the obvious & not enough on making the plot more entertaining. Unfortunately, this was the best in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Linsha Majere, Knight of the Rose!, Jun 25 2002

By

Fallensbane "~Fallensbane" (Franklin, MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Clandestine Circle: Crossroads (Mass Market Paperback)

This has got to be one of the best Dragonlance novels I have ever read. Bar None! Linsha Majere is ordered my the Solmanics Clandestine Circle to get as close to Lord Bight as possible. They want to find out anything they can use to discredit him.

Shortly after a ship crashed into the docks in Saction's harbor. Almost everyone on board the ship is dead. Having died of some foul disease that no one has ever seen before. This plague threatens to wipe out all of Sanctions people if the cure is not found soon.

Linsha along with her companion Varia (an owl) are pulled into a tangled web of lies and half truths.Not only that but Linsha begins to have feelings for her commanding officer. She also begins to earn a healthy respect for Lord Bight.

In the end she will have to choose between here orders, or doing what feels right in here heart. 5 Stars to this amazing entry into the Dragonlance Saga!

2.0 out of 5 stars Predictable, flat and ultimately unsatisfying
First, a disclaimer: I'd been away from the fantasy genre for quite a while when I picked up this book on a whim recently. Read more
