Title: The King is dead - not long live the King
Review: This is the book that really began Dragonlance's downfall... It's as if the authors or whoever decided to make the book wanted to revitalize Dragonlance, and instead ended up ruining most of what made Dragonlance fun. Still, I'd have liked to give it 2.5 stars, but since I couldn't, I erred on the side of condamnation since the book was such a disappointment. After DoSF came the horrible Fifth Age. *shudder* Well, I've moved to Forgotten Realms, so Wizards is still getting my money.Despite the failings of the story, Weis and Hickman were up to their usual standards of writing, meaning DoSF was still more enjoyable than nearly all the Dragonlance spinoffs.Speaking of the spinoffs, there was one phrase in the book said by Astinus, "but this is another tale" when speaking of Crysania or something similar. If that wasn't a hook for a spinoff, I don't know what was. Sure enough, in time Tears of the Night Sky was published.
Is the review positive or negative?
