Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good book a MUST READ
Many have stated already that they don't like this book, because of the way the authors wrote the character of Tanis. I have read all the chronicles and all the other books to follow, and understand why some are taken aback by the way Tanis is written. If you have read soul forge then you would understand why he was written like that. This book takes place after the parting of the heroes of the lance Tanis is alone and has lost what he thought was the love of his life. Like all love sick men ... Read More
Rating:  - Good but not great
Well, I must say I did enjoy this book. It is a worthy read if you are a Dragonlance fan. With that said it is not the best one out there. It was a very interesting story and very different, but Tanis was not quit the same as in the Chronicles. They did write him a little differently and that is what kept it from being great.
Rating:  - Could have been better
As with quite a few of the Preludes and Meetings books, this seemed out of tune with the Chronicles view of Tanis. There is a certain way the Tanis talks and acts, but these authors couldn't quite seem to grasp it.
The plot was slightly ridiculous. I find it difficult to believe Tanis would even consider starting on this adventure just to find news about his father.
I don't usually object to a bit of love mixed into a story, but when it becomes the story to the exclusion of all else, I ... Read More
Rating:  - A good book!
Unlike The Oath & The Measure,The Companions,Darkness & Light and Kendermore, this actually fits into the Dragonlance saga - a few days after the Companions seperate & almost a month before Raistlin takes the Test.
Unlike those others books, the writing's very good as well. I'd definately recommend this one.
Rating:  - The Worst Dragonlance Book I've Read!
As an avid Dragonlance fan, I was severely disappointed with this novel. It had absolutely no bearing on any of Tanis' further adventures and didn't even begin to answer Tanis' questions about his father. ( BTW, for an EXCELLENT view of that tale, read "The Inheritance.) Tanis had stated in the Chronicles that he'd been in lands not friendly to elves, but this was set in an Elven village; the Red Robed mage was part human, part elf, and the only acceptable mages to elves are White Robes; and ...
