The Oath and the Measure

Dragonlance: Meetings Sextet, Book 4

De: Michael Williams

Narrado por: Kevin Stillwell

Secrets of the past...

Although Raistlin and Caramon urge him not to go, Sturm Brightblade attends an annual Solamnic ceremony that is interrupted by...a stranger, taunting challenge. Clues from the past. Death.

Once he accepts a mysterious gauntlet, young Sturm must make a dangerous journey with some curious friends, rescue a fair if querulous maid, defeat a traitor knight, and learn the secret fate of his long-lost father. He must also learn the meaning of honor.

The fourth installment in the popular Meetings Sextet tells the story of Sturm Brightblade, the noble Solamnic Knight, in the years before Sturm joined up with the other companions of the best-selling Dragonlance series.

A solid dragonlance audiobook -

It's a fun backstory for Sturm as a youth. The characters are interesting and the story is engaging. Kevin Stillwell as narrator makes the audiobook. His professionalism and skill with voices ought to be recruited for far more fantasy novels.

boring

not that interesting of a story, doesn't really follow canon. I would skip this one

Was an OK story

Never really connected with the character in the Dragonlance Wars trilogy and still felt that way with this. Interesting story but not as captivating as others I've gone through.

Terrible

it's obvious this author did not read the original trilogy or any of the other Dragonlance novels. Very bad character development, Completely disregards canon.

Hardly a page turner...

This is by far the most boring book in this series, so much so that I couldn’t even finish it before moving on to the next one which I hope is better.

what is it about?

I had a hard time keeping my mind on the story. I felt like I was listening to an author with a thesaurus in one hand and a need to impress his professor in the other. Instead of a flowing story you had to take each sentence and examine it. Sorry, but thumbs down on the author.

Kind of regret this purchase

First, the multitude of musical references was way overdone and very distracting. This is definitely a bard's tale but after the 10th time I was sick of hearing about chords and modes. It also appeared that the author wasn't very familiar with the lore and references from the chronicles and just threw out locations, creatures and names if it had any semblance to the scene whether appropriate or not. I'm treating this as a bard adaptation of a legend and not actual dragonlance lore.

Mehhhh...

Pretty bland. Skip this one. it drags on without any excitement or characters you're into.
