Ingram
One of the most fabled stories in all of Krynn tradition is the founding of Qualinost and the creation of the magnificent society of renegade elves--the Qualinesti. Kith-Kanan becomes the first Speaker of the Suns, but his reign is haunted by the acrimony between the elven factions, the infidelity of his wife, and the mysterious behavior of his son.

This is a great book, Feb 8 2000
By "xdarkchildx" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Qualinesti (Paperback)
The Qualinesti is clearly a Dragonlance great. I have loved the series and I love D&D so I was immediatly attracted to this book. It brings Kith Kanan out pf his oldself, sheds lighton new charecters, and iit even brngs back some old ones. This is a great book and you will love every mnute of it if you like Dragonlance

4.0 out of 5 stars
A great read, Nov 27 2002
By D. Pachal - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Qualinesti (Paperback)
"The Qualinesti" is definately a great book. Not only is it full of action and adventure. But it come across with actual real emotions that people can relate too. There is jealousy, deceit, sadness and many other emotions filling this book. I had heard mixed reviews about this book before I read it. But, I was pleasently suprised by how good this book actually was. I liked it as much, of not more, than "The Firstborn" (The first book in this trilogy). This book brings about the end of a legacy. It is a little depressing, but it is nice to see the state of the Qualinesti under the leadership of Kith-Kanan and his son. A definate must for Dragonlance fans.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Better than #2, but still very low quality., Oct 27 2006
By Brett "Reviewer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Qualinesti: Elven Nations Trilogy: Volume Three (Mass Market Paperback)
Before I make my comments, I'd like to point out that I greatly enjoyed the first novel in the Elven Nations trilogy by Thompson. The second book was terrible, but making my way into the third novel, I was very optimistic about a return to quality with Thompson again as the writer.
In that, I was sorely disappointed. Considering that this trilogy is supposedly about the formation of Qualinesti, the second Elven kingdom,it is surprising that we see very little about its formation. Instead, at the beginning of the third book, we are jumped ahead years to when Qualinesti is ALREADY founded, with leadership in place, people settled, and mainly just a few self-defense and succession issues to work out. In other words, some of the most conceivably interesting parts of the series (like a struggle to actually form the city and nation) are left out.
Add on to that, the unappealing characters, a Kith-Kanan who has reverted to loving Hermathya in spite of not loving her anymore in the first book, an evil wizard on a mountain top, and a deus ex machin . . oops! I meant Kith-Kanan's long lost son by Anaya, we get an unfortunately unsatisfying ending to a trilogy on what should be one of the Dragonlance's most interesting stories.
Listmania!
