Review # 1 was written on 2016-10-07 00:00:00 RUSSELL WHEATLEY This is part of the Dragonlance universe and is the first book of a trilogy. In this one, the knighthood is fighting within. Meanwhile goblins are amassing a sizeable army which threatens the knight's land and with them unable to agree about anything they are in trouble. I liked the idea of this book but I didn't care for its execution. The positive is the battle scenes. They were well detailed and I loved how the author described different maneuvers and how the battles were won or lost. The main reason I did not enjoy this novel was the characters. I did not like one character and I had no connection. The hero of this story is not noble and one expects nobility when reading a book about knights. At one point I was rooting for the villain as he was the only one I somewhat cared about. No matter how well descriptive a novel is with its setting or its action the characters have to be strong or it will not live up to its billing. That is the problem with this book and therefore I could never connect with this book. I will continue with this series. I am hoping with my knowledge about the characters I will care about their fate.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-09-24 00:00:00 Cindi Beebe-tillman This book started off real slow but about the middle of the book it really picked up and made me flip the pages. In this book these two adventurers set out and get into a mess of trouble throughout the land. People persue them wherever they go, trying to kill them. I recomend that you read the book to find out the meaning of the book it's really cool. text to text- this book remindes me of a story my friend and i are writing, it has humor, action and even emotional parts in it. text to self- the character jaymes i this book remindes me of myself, he quiet most of the time but doesnt like to be messed with or told what to do. text to world- jaymes and his friend dram are in a war with everyone its them versus the world, kind of like the US and isreal, we have allies but the way things are going its us versus the world.
