The final title in the historical Kingpriest trilogy. This titles completes the exploration of a key part of Dragonlance history. The era explored in this novel, although referred to frequently throughout many Dragonlance novels, is being finely detailed for the first time.

Definitely the best of the trilogy

Really nice ending. Good battles that are sparsely described (good thing) near the end that drive the story.

Fantastic read!

The narration was spot on. You could really get into the emotions of the character, no matter the age or sex. A great job to all involved.

worthwhile

There are excellent surprises and voices are well acted! a good story and end to the trilogy.

epic

epic. great story to see the Cataclysm first hand. beget than the other books in the trilogy

Completely worth the read!

Fabulous end to an awesome trilogy... I was not a great fab of the last two pages but since 100% good DragonLance!

Pierson's weakest DL entry, but still worthwhile.

After the first two books in the Kingpriest trilogy, I was really looking forward to this book.

There was so much buildup to this, it was set to be an epic conclusion truly worthy of the Dragonlance brand.

And...

Gah. For the first time, I must confess myself disappointed with Chris Pierson's choices.

In fairness, this was still a good story. There were some great twists (on, the one! I don't want to spoil it, but that one twist near the end alone makes having read the book worthwhile), some awesome ways things tied together.

However, this is the first time I've seen serious continuity issues with one of Chris's books. He's usually careful and diligent about maintaining continuity with established Dragonlance facts. But he went completely off the trails in this one in so many ways.

Danubis, frankly, isn't even the same character we saw in Time of the Twins.

And there are events that feel so contrived (especially the one or two that were completely unnecessary!), it felt almost like I was playing a D&D game with a REALLY BAD DM.

I feel like if the book has been 50,000 words longer, he could have devoted enough time to these things that they would have come across a lot better.

In the end, I feel like this book was rushed and trimmed down to too short of a length to do it justice, effectively crippling its ability to be a great book.

That said, however, it was still worth reading and I definitely recommend this trilogy to any Dragonlance fan.
