1.0 out of 5 stars Worst Dragonlance book I have read yet!, Sep 17 2002

This review is from: Vinas Solamnus: Lost Legends, Volume I (Mass Market Paperback)

... Regarding this atrocity, avoid this! The story starts out good, for like ten pages! ... Vinas is worthless in this book. He slaughters innocents and I am supposed to like the leader of the knighthood? Also, some characters are introduced and have some big scenes, but are never talked about again. This is by far the worst book I have read yet of dragonlance. The legend of Huma wasn't this bad!

This review is from: Vinas Solamnus: Lost Legends, Volume I (Mass Market Paperback)

Wow, This book goes WAY back to give us the tale of the very first Knight of Solamnia. Wonderfully written, but you should definitly check out the Dragonlance Chronicles first.

This book takes place over an entire lifetime of the title character. 10 to 20 years will sometimes pass between chapters.

Very entertaining book with great action and above average character development. I recommend to anyone looking for a good fantasy book that deals very little with magic or magical creatures (although there is magic and magical characters in the book, just not many).

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Job with Vinas, Jun 24 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Vinas Solamnus: Lost Legends, Volume I (Mass Market Paperback)

This was a good Dragonlance book and one of the things I loved about it was that you don't need to be a major DL fanatic to like this book, the story was still there (perhaps it wasn't as meaningful) even if you haven't read the mainstream DL novels yet. The only thing I didn't like in this novel was the swift ending, it seemed like King started to write just to finish the story and stopped writing to tell the story. The very end was way too short and the way that Ergoth was taken care of seemed a bit cheap. But other than those few down points, this novel is totally worth reading.

This was a good and intresting book. I read it in a week, considering I had school and work, but one of the best. I rank it with some of the best, including the first three. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but what's the hurry?
This book is more about Vinas Solamnus than the Knightshood and it's founding. I found that the story might have been better if the writer had written it much longer, maybe even... Read more
