First Sentence
Nethosak had obviously prospered in the past few years and yet to Hecar there was a hint of something poisonous in the air, as if the grand, imperial city of his people had somehow begun to spoil at the core. Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid story, but not a history of the minotaurs, Jan 20 2004

This review is from: Land of the Minotaurs: The Lost Histories, Volume IV (Mass Market Paperback)

If you want to read a history of the minotaur race in Krynn, this book will disappoint you. If you want to read a solid story about Kaz the Minotaur, set after his role in the Dragon War, you'll be pleased by this book.

In a series titled "Lost Histories," one might expect to find out about the origins, the differences among, and...well...the history of the minotaurs. But this book at best hints at a dark secret that has been behind the aggression of the minotaurs. The story mainly revolves around Kaz and his friends and family as they seek to stop an evil plot unfolding in their homeland.

The book is well written and it is a good story. It should appeal to Dragonlance fans, and especially to fans of the previous books about Kaz or about minotaurs. But again, reader beware, this is not an epic history about the race of minotaurs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great look into Minotaur Culture, Oct 24 2003

By

This review is from: Land of the Minotaurs: The Lost Histories, Volume IV (Mass Market Paperback)

The Land of the Minotaurs is a tightly crafted tale that picks up a few years after Kaz the Minotaur. In this book the reader gets to see the history and culture of the Minotaur people. Kaz, of course, is there to lead the way in this adventure. The Minotaur people find themselves in an amazing set of circumstances. The entire nation seems to be arming for war. The arena is as busy as it has ever been deciding matters of honor and justice. It is into this time and land of turmoil that Kaz finds himself pulled. Kaz merely wants to raise his family and live in peace, but circumstances draw him into action. There is something hidden and evil hiding among his people. Kaz makes a discovery that will shake his entire world forever. This is likely the best book of, what is now being called, " The Minotuar Trilogy." The plot twists and turns, and so captures the reader that it is hard to put down. These books are a lot of fun, and this one is a fantastic read. The unexpected ending in worth the entire novel series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kazaganthi: The Minotaur Hero, April 4 2003

By

C.J.S. "Mr. Slayer" (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania U.S.A.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Land of the Minotaurs: The Lost Histories, Volume IV (Mass Market Paperback)

The third adventure of the minotaur warrior Kazaganthi De Orlig, who first came about in the classic "Legend of Huma" and whose story continued in "Kaz the Minotaur". Kaz has established a minotaur community that stands for freedom from the Circle (The Minotaur Government) and The Sons of Sargas (The High Clerics) much to their chagrin. When Kaz's Brother-in-law goes missing in the capital of the minotaur empire he embarks on a search and rescue mission that is more successful than he ever wanted. Accompanied by his kender companion and a strange human child, Kaz faces challenges that could decide the fate of the entire minotaur race. This story is an even further in-depth look at the society and culture of a usually forgotten but extremely interesting race and one of the best characters in the entire DragonLance world. It isn't necessary to have read the previous two books to enjoy this one but I highly recommend it.
