Good continuation in the series August 30, 2007
Simply put, if you've read the War of Souls trilogy and/or Amber and Ashes (the first in this trilogy), you should most definitely be reading this one. Quality-wise I find the writing and the plot to be a little more simplistic compared to the behemoth that was the War of Souls (hence the 4 stars), but it's still quite worth the time and money to continue the saga of the Dragonlance world.
Other reviews have noted the influence of the gods in this trilogy - particularly this book - but if you read the first it explains that the meaning of "Age of Mortals" has changed with the return of the gods. It makes sense, when you think about it - there is a void in the top spot of the pantheon of gods, and thus a power struggle develops between the deities, and thus they turn to mortals to be the deciding factor because the gods cannot go to war with each other (if they do, Chaos returns).
Great read, but a few problems.. June 21, 2007

I would recomend reading this book. It's written well, and the story is very interesting and highly captivating.
I just don't really like how the gods are portrayed. I don't agree with the gods being so impulsive, and quick to emotion. It really doesn't make much sense....
 Confused... June 18, 2007

I thought both of the books were great and full of surprises. The only thing I'm confused about is the god Majere really Raistlin? If anyknows, please send an email at ihatebrandon_2@hotmail.com. Thank you.

I enjoyed the last 2 books overall, however i felt as if for an age of mortals that there was almost to much involvment by the gods. The books definatley humanizes them and takes away alot of the mystique that I enjoyed in other dragon lance novels. The protaginist monks backstory needs a little more development but I suspect more of that will be revealed in the third book. By the way when can we expect the third book?
a little confused, but hey so are the gods!!!! April 28, 2007
I didn't like Mina in the War of the Souls Trilogy and was reluctant to read the Dark Disciple Trilogy. Now I can't wait for Amber and Blood!!! I am a little confused as to how the other gods didn't know what Majere knew. Maybe that will be explained in the last book. Where DID Mina come from? Who are her parents? It was great to see Nightshade find his picklock skill with a "gift" from a god! He's no Tas, but he's almost as much fun!
