5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting book from an important new DL author, Jan 16 2002

By	Mr L L Lawson (Hull, England) - See all my reviews

Once I picked up this book I was not willing to stop reading it until i had finished it. You can get a plot summary elsewhere on this site, so I won't tell much about that. Peirson focuses on a race--the Centaurs--that haven't really been focused on in DL literature. And he does it well. The conflict seen between the characters of the novel was also really well expressed. Peirson does a good job in this novel of show his world, instead of telling us about it. I recommend this book to any DL reader who wants an excellent diversion from the main Fifth Age plot line.

4.0 out of 5 stars great but not spectacular...., Nov 10 2001

By	M. Vinoski "Tweek" (Kalamazoo, Mi., USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

a good book; chris pierson does a good job playing out his characters. dezra is played well, although she seems a bit too much like kitaria. actually a lot like her. a sell-sword, she had the smirk, and the attitude.

again, i was impressed at how well dezra's character was played out. she acted just like a hot teenage girl w/ an attitude would. caramon played his role well, being the protector. hmmm can't say that his character was played well enough. there was something wrong with it.

anyway, i gave it 4 stars because it kept me going. i didn't just read it, i kind've wanted to find out what happened. if the book was actually exciting, however, i would've given it 5.

4.0 out of 5 stars Caramon is still alive, thanks Dezra!, Jun 5 2001

By	yuri d alessandra (cassina de pecchi, milano Italy) - See all my reviews

At the beginnining it seems an "already heard" story: an old I-don't-want-to-live-without-Raist Caramon,but then things change. Chris Pierson shows us centaurs' life style,their proximity with the woods and their Gods (long live Chislev!) and their philosophical way of living honor. Dezra is not the most important character but she is the "shock" that Caramon needed to feel alive again and to understand that it is worth living life even without Raistlin. A good book which smells of trees and magic.
