Book Reviews of Dragons of Summer FlameBook Review: What have they done? Summary: 2 StarsI mean, seriously, what were they been thinking?
First off, the kender stuff is overly used on chronicles and legends, ok we got it, it was funny, dont tell the same joke more than 3 times.
The descriptions of be with a kender is worse than fighting a troll is told so geek like, it kinda made me feel being a geek by reading this crap.
Palin is so a boring character only second maybe to the awful Laurana.
And why all the new heroes have to be the sons of the previous heroes? does heroisem go by blood line and not personality?
And why we need Palin if we have Raistlin back? at least Rasitlin was a true hero which had a lot of power aura around him.
Palin was said to be meant to be powefull, but i would put money on him fighting a scared mouse by the way his personality goes.
I quite liked Usha, she was very funny in her untrusting people manner and her simple thinking on life.
Steel was a very good character which i would build upon, like a normal person he had a good side and a dark side, people are not totally evil or totally good.
The end was a real dissapointment as Paladine sits back on the couch and let Steel, His Dragon, Palin, Usha and Tas to do the job. Where was the God Commander himself? if he cannot defeat chaos, how can his creations?
Another thing that dissapoints me is Takisis leaving, it is stupid to think that she does not care for the world, she has a different perspective from Paladine but still they both focus on this world. Making her leaving just poits her out more of a scared child rather the Queen of Darkness. But Paladine is no better as he was not doing anything much either.
And where the hell was Gilean, i know he writes history, but dude, the world comes to an end, cant you raise your lazy butt and do something?
Chaos is the source of all the gods, shouldn't it be that he be fought by his children, and Steel, Palin and all fight his generals?
If Chaos was defeated by mortals, how can we have respect for the gods in this book? Where was Raistlin that defeated Takisis, why couldn't he fight there and let Palin play with dolls at home?
Instead of making a grand finalle, Chaos was destroyed by the hands of a kender, is that what was i kept on reading for?
Is that the best you can make of?
This book had some nice moments, I couldn't ignore that, but he was really rushed and the plot eventually was lame.
Summary of Dragons of Summer FlameSummer has come to Krynn, a summer unlike any before. The sun bears down on land and sea, searing the world with relentless light and heat. Clouds and rain are nowhere to be found, and even the darkness of night brings little relief from the strange and oppressive day.
Meanwhile, those who commune regularly with their gods are uneasy. Every day, their deities become more distant, more difficult to reach. Clerics' prayers go unanswered, and magic goes awry. As the tension on Ansalon builds, estranged cousins Palin Majere and Steel Brightblade search for an explanation. It soon becomes evident that more than just magic is at stake.
The fate of all Krynn hangs in the balance.
This is a new paperback edition of Dragonlance cocreators Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman's first hardcover New York Times bestseller. It is the direct prequel to the current War of Souls trilogy. This edition features a new cover design that ties into the recent rereleases
