Title: Dry and disjointed. Not worth the effort.
Product review: Given Rabe's previous work on the Dragons of a New Age Trilogy, I was reluctant to pick up this book in the first place. I wish I'd resisted. For those who've endured the aforementioned novels, it should be noted that 'The Silver Stair' is definitely an improvement on her earlier work, but it's still dire. It's laden with inaccuracies that instantly spoil the sparse atmosphere that had been built up, notably Knights of Takhisis building a keep in 352AC (almost twenty years before they were founded), a sorcerer running about on a ship only a year or two following the Second Cataclysm and Goldmoon ascending the Stair without a hint of her fear of heights showing. Even putting all that aside, the story's bland and the plot drags. Only stubbornness made me read it through to the end.
