I thought the plot was ok and I personally like Mina but I had trouble getting through the book because it is full of typos. Very dissapointing quality, editing wise.
Good book July 20, 2006

The book itself starts off slow and the main reasoning for that is because it must lay the foundation for the rest of the story arc which will take place in Amber and Iron as well as Amber and Blood. I found this book absolutely enthralling because it further expands on Mina as a character that you can loathe or love. After the defeat of Tahksis in the War of Souls, Mina turns to Chemosh. The main reasoning for this is because she wants to fill the void that has been left by Tahksis and we all know Chemosh as a tricky and capricious god. I find the active roles that the other gods are playing to be exciting as well as refreshing. In all previous books the gods never took a real active role in shaping the world, simply because there was no need to with mortals doing all the shaping for them. Because of Tahksis' betrayal, that has all been changed. Now they work together with mortals to rebuild their world that the Dragon Overlords ruined.
 Well written but dull characters June 25, 2006

I've read many Weis and Hickman books and this has to be one of the worst main characters I've read about..It gets 3 stars because the story has a sense of purpose,it was well written, and I can't wait to read what happens in the next book,but the major problem with this is the dull main character.. I think Rhys is probably the most boring main character I've ever read about which is half the reason for the 3 stars..Mina is one of my favorite characters because of her loyalty and faithfulnes,but the romance scenes between her and chemosh could have been toned down a notch..I did like Nightshade the Kender but even Chemosh started to get annoying.. Like I said,the main characters seemed a bit dull and boring,but the overall story and direction of the novel was pretty good..
I've taken a break from Weis for a while,but I'll be sure to read Amber and Iron soon to see what happens next :)

Nightshade, a kender I don't think so. Rhys the Monk is forgetable. Mina isn't a big character. I cannot see where this is going.
 Disappointing....so far April 4, 2006

I just returned to reading anything "Dragonlance" after a long departure and selected this to start. I'm disappointed to say the least. I'm only a hundred or so pages into it and hope I can finish. But, there is nothing happening. Nothing that makes me want to pick it up. Not like I remembered from earlier series when I couldn't wait for the next volume. Here's hoping it gets better.
