4.0 out of 5 stars So that's how it happened!!!, Jun 26 2004

By	Andy. Gillum (indian mound, tn) - See all my reviews

The first novel was just good enough to make me continue reading the trilogy & this one blew me away.

The Lightbringer starts to lose his grip on his sanity, Cathan starts to wonder if he's fighting on the right side & you find out who REALLY brought down the wizards: Fistandantilus of all people! There's enough surprises in here to get you interessted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awsome! A must for all DL fans, Dec 3 2003

By A Customer

I have read about 95% of all the DL books as well, and nothing upsets me more than finding information in a book that is contadicting to the others that I read.

Well this one blew me away, being that it ties in information from a number of other DL novels I was really inpressed with how it was all layed out and kind of blended in.

I cant wait to read the last one!
A well deserved 5 stars!!

5.0 out of 5 stars What exactly should you do in the name of a god?, Jan 5 2003

By	Richard Pierson (California) - See all my reviews

The Kingpriest Trilogy is amazing, that's the simplest way for me to put it. If you love Dragonlance and haven't read it then do so at once. It is well written and provides backstory for the famous Legends Trilogy. Explaining why exactly the people of Istar were mad with religious fever, why did they despise magic, and why did the gods smite them. "Divine Hammer" focuses specifically on the events surrounding the war between the Kingpriest and the Hall of Mages.

There is plenty in this novel to please any kind of dragonlance fan: sword fights, pitched battles of magic, a working church language, questions of morality, a bit of love, and a good chuck of evil. Perhaps one of the key factors is that it has such a strong villain in the Archmage Fistandantilus.

Really this trilogy has everything, it's the best dragonlance I've read in a long time and truly earns the five stars I'm giving it. I haven't seen DL done this well since "Soulforge" came out, it even eclipses the War of Souls Trilogy.

The only problem I have is that it is kept to the common 300 pages of all second tier dragonlance novels. I'm aware some DL authors have trouble with it, but Chris Pierson (no relation) does not. It's too late to do so in this trilogy but if he is given the rights to another let him write it as he can, EPIC. I don't just give out five stars for no reason, this one truly earned it.

Final Thought: Sifat Pilofiro (so be it, Lightbringer).
