Title: "Meetings Sextet" Limps Along With This Below Average Book
Review: "Steel and Stone" is the fifth addition to the "Meetings Sextet"--a series that showed hints of early promise before falling flat and running out of gas. In this book, Ellen Porath--who had written the average first book in the sextet with another writer--takes on covering the meeting between Tanis Half Elven and Kitiara, two of the chief characters in the saga. What should have been an interesting tale falls flat as the book wanders off in too many directions, including a cast of solid secondary characters who, while charming, do little to move the plot along and a strange, convoluted epic journey. There is almost nothing that stands out in this book and little to commend it. "Steel and Stone" is one more below average Dragonlance book that most fans of the saga can miss without missing a beat.
