Title: In Which Weis and Hickman go on a rampage.
Review: I honestly think Weis and Hickman were so peeved at being buffaloed into doing another book by T$R that they decided to go on a killing spree of the main characters, which fit well into T$R's plans for Fifth Age (There's no gods! No magic! But look at that handling!). Tanis' death was tolerable, since he went out in a noble way, the writing style is as descriptive as ever, and it's always good to see Raistlin, but Chaos is a lame bad guy (He needs to summon armies of goofy creatures? Ao of Toril could snap his fingers and fry the Realms!), Caramon's kids are dumb, and all the Irda -an interesting race- get roasted. I dunno. Its greatest fault is making you think, "You mean all those damn Dragonlance novels I read were pointless?"Oh, and I don't care what Weis and Hickman say. Usha IS Raistlin's daughter; they made that clear in Tales. Or was that more meaningless crap like Summer Flame? Oh well, back to the Realms...
Is the review positive or negative?
