5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Dragonlance Book, Nov 23 2003

This review is from: WEASEL'S LUCK (Mass Market Paperback)

Galen is the youngest son of a knight. His eldest brother is supposed to become a knight, but is not very knightly. The second eldest is... well... shall we say weird? He goes into a lot of trances, is very religious, and gets the dates mixed up; birthdays for Galen and his oldest brother come too often - they don't complain, considering the fact they get extra gifts.
One day, when a knight is visiting and staying with them, Galen is confronted by a man who bribes (and threatens) him into stealing the guests armor. Seeing that this knight is going to have Galen's oldest brother as his squire, and squires are supposed to protect the armor, Galen isn't really keen on doing this. Unfortunately for him, he has to - and is caught in a plot of family rivalry and curses.

This review is from: WEASEL'S LUCK (Mass Market Paperback)

The main character is the epitome of the reluctant hero. I enjoyed the first-person narrative, and was especially impressed by the unwillingness of the narrator to be heroic through most of the book. This is one I hope to read again!

This review is from: WEASEL'S LUCK (Mass Market Paperback)

Of all of the "Dragonlance" novels I've read, this one was definately one of the most boring.

There is an odd dynamic between Galen "Weasel" and his two brothers Brithlem, and Alfrec. Alfrec apparently being a sadastic moron, and Brithlem well on his way towards being a wizard.

This is a very well written book, and Galen is very honest about his own personal shortcomings. But the sad fact is, there is just too much detail from galen himself on his views of the world around him, his brothers, etc. This book suffers from the lack of real action till the last three chapters. If you are just a devoted fan of the whole fantasy genere, then this is a book for you, but, if you are a fan of fantasy with lots of action, or different races, or magic even, then you might want to skip this one...

5.0 out of 5 stars I greatly enjoyed it
The main character was sort of annoying but he was so well done that it is hard to get upset about it. The book is fairly funny and it has a good adventure in it. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars A decent sort of read
At first I was against reading Weasel's Luck because it didn't contain any of the Companions, something I felt betrayed the Dragonlance series. Read more
