Negative Positive
Title: An imaginative world, but not a very good book
Review: I have read my way through the legends triology, mostly because I sometimes play an internet roleplaying game which is partly staged in the world of Krynn, and I wanted to know more about the background of this fantasy world. I found it very hard to tolerate the poor language and grammar of the authors, the stereotypic, sentimental and one dimensional characters, and the authors' poor grasp of detail. To offer an example, Tanis Half-Elven (A very annoying character) is described as having a beard which bears testimony to his human blood, since no elf on Krynn can grow a beard. None the less, when the also very annoying character Chrysania is visited by an elven cleric, this elf is sporting a very long beard, which I then assume must have been false.When I still decided to give this book two stars, it is because I find the world of Krynn innovative, and I can't help liking kenders. To bad that the prose isn't good enough to bring this new world to life.
