Brother of the Dragon Book

My rating is 3.5 stars.

This is part of the Dragonlance world. It is the second book of a trilogy and I suggest reading the first book to become familiar with the characters. Some time has passed and Amero's settlement has thrived and grown. But an old enemy has united with a new enemy and they have come to wage war.

I am enjoying this trilogy that is set in this world. It tells the beginnings of the Barbarian race and the authors have carved out a nice storyline. I enjoyed the return of an old enemy and there are new concepts that are introduced that will be important aspects of this world. There is plenty of action to keep the pace going and there is a hint of a developing plot device that entices the reader. I did have to drop my rating the half star because there was no conclusion for this novel. It just ended and one must read the third novel to receive any closure. I don't mind cliffhangers but there should be closure of storylines and enough hanging threads for the next in line book. This book just has hanging threads.

That being said, this trilogy is a welcome addition to this world and provides insight of a race of people. I do anticipate the final novel as everything should be concluded.
