5.0�toiles sur 5 A great trilogy!!, Jui 28 2004

Par	Andy. Gillum (indian mound, tn) - Voir tous mes commentaires

Can't say a whole lot the people under me haven't. After being extremely disappointed with the Crossroads & Icereach series, I too was down on DL(a first for me)but this trilogy was as engrossing as those named above were boring.

I did find myself screaming at the characters to choose differently & thinking 'maybe it'll end differently, maybe the Cataclysm won't strike.' but it did. Of course, evil, as it usually does in the DL novels, stole the show. I found myself in awe & laughing at Fistandantilus's evilness & how like Raistlin he was.

One small disappointment. I thought there'd be a tad more dialogue between the Kingpriest & Paladine after Beldinas realized his fatal mistake. I also would've liked to have known what Beldinas's afterlife was like. Paladine said the Kingpriest was a good man in the Chronicles. So, did he not go to the Abyss for what he did? I find it hard to believe the gods' let him off with nothing.

5.0�toiles sur 5 2nd best trilogy in Series!, Jui 10 2004

Par Un client

Outside of the initial Wies/Hickman trilogy, this is easily the best set of books in the series. Having read just over 90% of the DL books (including all tier 1 & 2 stories), I don't say this lightly. Two main points on why specifically it was so well written: First he obviously researched the genre & tied his stories together beautifully with the known facts, unlike a lot of the author's who just write whatever they feel. Why this isn't always a bad thing it does distract from the overall product. Secondly, again unlike a lot of the DL writers, he doesn't paint a picture of insurmountable odds only for the hero's to miraculously pull it out in the last couple pages. This seems to be the trend and frankly it sucks (Outside of Mr. Knaak, you see this often). Mr. Pierson does a stupendous job of writing on a story touched upon often, but never explored in great depth.

The hero in the story goes through his trials & tribulations as a man with no faith, to one with blind faith, losing his faith & ultimately finding true faith at the end. In the process he is part of a nation the rises to top of the world stage to its ultimate & total annihilation.

Whether you've read many books in this series or not, this trilogy is a great read.

Par Un client

I'd come close to giving up on Dragonlance after finishing the last trilogy from Weiss and Hickman.

I'm glad to say that this trilogy has restored my faith. Sacred Fire is the best work Pierson has done to date, and he managed it within a story where the ending was already known! Shades of Titanic; cranking up the suspense and excitement of the story in this context took some real creativity.

Watching the world fall apart was like a slow motion train wreck, cringe-inducing clockwork physics with a sense of being helplessness. You wanted to yell at the characters so they'd do the right thing!

Things also tied together in clever and subtle ways. I need to go back and reread the trilogy to see what I missed.

This was a great read -- highly recommended. My fervent hope is that it launches Pierson into being able to publish works in his own worlds. If he can write like this within the well-explored confines of the Dragonlance universe, I'm hopeful we'll see even more when he's freed!
