Product Description
A hidden artifact waits to be found--and used...
The half-breed ogre, Golgren, at last Grand Khan of all his people, faces unpleasant threats. Tthe Knights of Neraka encroach on one border and the minotaur empire crosses another, while the rise of a new and unlikely rival among his own kind augurs the death stroke to all his ambitions...perhaps his very life. Now Golgren must abandon everything to embark on a quest he can trust to no other. The Fire Rose is a mysterious artifact that could prove the salvation - or destruction - of his growing empire. Safrag, the new master of the Ogre Titans, is just as eager to claim the precious artifact and promote his own might.
Richard A. Knaak's post-War of Souls trilogy is the follow-up to his New York Times best-selling Minotaur Wars trilogy in the popular Dragonlance series.

Huh??, July 30 2009
By R. Sigal - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Fire Rose: The Ogre Titans, Volume Two (Mass Market Paperback)
Was this book written by the same author as the previous one? YesIs the plot logical? Nope!
Do the events make sense? Nope and nope!
Several things bothered me - first, with every battle it's known in advance how it would end - whether a single combat or large scale, it's played out with the results well-known in advance. No surprises, no ingenuity, simply "going through the motions"
Second - so much stuff makes no sense! For example, the whole signet thing made me grown in frustration. I mean, it's like the author said "I want some fireworks, and logic be damned. I know, I'll use the signet to flip a mountain upside down! Why? Why not!". And there was soooo much more! People getting teleported all over the place and ending up at exactly the right place "by chance". C'mon!
One more thing - I hate it when DL writers diverge from the theme laid out by the core books. I mean, resurrection? Wizards who have such vast powers? Artifacts so powerful lying around for all to find (staff, signet, Fire Rose, the Shaman's powers, the Titan's blood magic...). Krynn was not built like that! Magic, while powerful is not meant to be thrown around like sand on the beach
All in all, a well-written book, with a 'orrible plot!

So disappointing...., April 8 2009
By Mike Gomez "mikey27" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Fire Rose: The Ogre Titans, Volume Two (Mass Market Paperback)
Considering how amazing the Minotaur Wars trilogy by Mr. Knaak was, this has been a severe disappointment thus far. Golgren was indeed a fascinating character, but this storyline...I don't know. One thing I loved about the Minotaur Wars was the politics, the intrigue, the backstabbing, factions scheming against each other, all during the planning and actual invasion of Silvanesti. This trilogy so far though...it's just typical fantasy, which can be great when written exceedingly well, but the plot is just not nearly as smart as the Minotaur Wars books. I would have liked the first 2 books of this trilogy much better if I was still 13.I hate to start things and not finish them, but I'm really struggling to find a reason to even bother reading the 3rd book. I love Richard Knaak, but these books feel like he was just writing for a paycheck.

Never disappointed, Feb 9 2009
By Jennifer A. Simpson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Fire Rose: The Ogre Titans, Volume Two (Mass Market Paperback)
I have been a big fan of Richard Knaak for several years. I was very excited when he started putting out the new trilogy and was not at all disappointed with The Fire Rose.
Listmania!
