4.0 out of 5 stars Good start..., May 1 2004
By brad (Victoria, B.C, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Night of Blood: The Minotaur Wars, Volume I (Hardcover)
For those who remember Richard A. Knakk, he was the authour of one of the greatest Dragonlance books ever The Legend of Huma. Knakk is back and to no one's surprise he covers the minotaur race... in full detail this time around.

The first book mainly focuses on the political aspect of the minotaurs but Knakk does a fairly good job of it. I'll be honest however, the first 100 or so pages are rather tedious (as Hotak sets up his empire) and you wonder if there will be any action to come. But it comes I guarantee you! The last part of the book is especially enthralling and I had a very hard time putting it down.

I can't wait to read Tides of Blood as it seems NoB was just a warm-up for what's to come. A must have for Dragonlance readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Knaak reveals to us the little known Minotaur empire, April 18 2004
By Michael Ruddy "mpruddy" (Union City, TN United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Night of Blood: The Minotaur Wars, Volume One (Mass Market Paperback)
This thrilling novel shows us a whole new world of Krynn. In this first book of a long awaited trilogy, Knaak shows us a whole new culture of Krynn. Although this book mainly focuses on the upsurping of Chot and the beginning Hotak's rule it also shows us some of the Minotaur culture never really told in detail till now. It also brings into light an empire never really shown in DL books. Sure there may have been hints here and there, but it was never shown in detail. This book is an excellent guide if you're a Minotaur fan. And if I may be permited a cliche, this guy has a real Knaak for story-telling.

The story is also amazing! At first you see Chot's reign as a time of decline and think Hotak will improve the empire. Basically, at first you think Hotak, the usurper of the Minotaur throne, is the good guy. After a while you see that during Chot's reign at least they had freedom while Hotak is the defintion of tyrant.

The usual problem facing empires is also known here in the Minotaur realm. The temple and the throne are at unease with each other. Hotak's wife, Nephera, is the starter of this eerie temple where she has a legion of invsible undead ghosts at her command. Also the heir to the throne, Ardnor, is a devout follower of the temple and that's a problem. I am not going to continue the thread here for fear of spoiling the story.

The rebels are an interesting bunch. It is amazing how they can survive opposing an empire bustling with undead ghosts. These undead fellows are constantly informing Nephera about the rebels locations and identities.

This is a wonderful book and was my first Richard Knaak book. It is a must read for all DL fans. I have high expectations for the sequel! This is also my first reveiw! Enjoy! --Kendergod son of mruddy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, different, I loved it, Mar 10 2004
By Chemosh (Tucson, Az) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Night of Blood: The Minotaur Wars, Volume I (Hardcover)
Ok, many people didnt like it but i loved it. The Minotaurs are generally overlooked by the rest of the Dragonlance authors. I find them entertaining. THey're a different society from the rest of Krynn. Taking on a more Roman type gov't. If you're into books for action then you wouldnt like this though. This is more of a political book. Explaining how they came to be where they are, taking over Silvanesti in the War of Souls. All in all, it's a really good story. Though like othe Knaak books it has a lot of characters. I mean A LOT. There must be up to 10-15 Characters just in the first book. Gets confusing. But again, I say its a really good book. Different from other Dragonlacne books for a change, it's not all about war (though I like war).

I suggest u read it when u have the time

If you're a fan of the world of Dragonlance then Knaak shouldn't be a new name to you. He's written some shorter stories that have been compiled with Margaret Weis. Read more
