Review # 1 was written on 2015-02-22 00:00:00 Audrey Bonin This takes place in the Dragonlance world. This book is about two elves. The first one is Porthios who is banished from his elven home and Gilthas who rules over the elven nation that Porthios once ruled. This book was a great read. The author does a terrific job with the two main characters. I have read about these two characters in other Dragonlance books and I did not care for them. The author changed my view on both of these characters. He explains their motivations and I connected with them where I couldn't connect with them previously. This novel has political intrigue with plenty of action. The battle scenes were excellent and all fans of fantasy will enjoy. I loved how we had enemies battling each other but by the end of the novel they were united against a greater danger. Fans of the original trilogy will enjoy the appearances of characters from those books. One doesn't need to read the original trilogy to enjoy this one. This is a well written fantasy novel that has terrific character development and plenty of action to keep the pace moving. I believe all fantasy readers will like this book.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-07-17 00:00:00 Richard Nichols Once again, I am pleasantly surprised by the Chaos War series. To be fair, the plot is a bit messy and some of the emotional aspects are rushed and not properly dealt with. In addition to the usual continuity problems that almost all Dragonlance novels have. That said, however, I really enjoyed getting to see a little deeper into Porthios and Gilthas. As well as seeing the beginning of Gilthas's romantic entanglements. All in all, I enjoyed and would recommend this book to any Dragonlance fan.
