Second book in the Dhamon saga. After reading Downfall, (book 1 in the saga) I was left feeling convinced that Dhamon was now treading the path of the dark side. Now having read the second book I'm not quite so sure..... .
This book follows Dhamon and Maldred along the path of thievery, treasure hunting and generally doing anything to survive. It is amazingly well written with no end of twists and turns to keep you more than interested..
Quite possible one of the best Dragonlance books that I have read to date, I was totally engrossed from start to finish. A must for every Dragonlance collection
Enjoy!!

A step in the right direction..
30 July 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Jean Rabe is probably one the most notorius writers in the Dragonlance world. People don't seem to like what her books tackled in her Dragons of a New Age trilogy. I for one am a fan of Rabe. I was immensly pleased with her DoNA books and looked forward to reading her Dhamon saga as soon as I had time.
This book starts where "Downfall" left off. Other than a short cameo in the beginning and end of the book by Rig and Fiona, the story mostly settles around Dhamon, Maldred, Riki, and an interesting draconian. Dhamon and Maldred are searching for a treasure, that when found, will hopefully help Dhamon find a cure for the cursed dragon scale in his leg.
"Betrayal" is full of enough adventure, excitement, backstabbing, and intrigue to keep any Dragonlance reader hooked. Rabe has really grown as a writer since her DoNA books. They just keep getting better. There are plenty of twists in this book to keep you guessing the whole time. The ending is a shocker and will easily keep you thinking about it until long after you are done, and will keep you begging for more. If you are a fan of Dragonlance, this book is a must.

Smashing well-paced story Rabe rocks!
26 Jun 2001
Format:Hardcover
Rabe gets too much flack from Dragonlance fans. Many automatically brand her books with the mark of the Beast simply because she is not Weis nor Hickman.
Instead she gives us a good RABE book, her own style. With characters that are risky to write and even harder to pull off, and she does it.
The book takes us on many adventures throughout the realms of the evil Dragoness Onysablet, called Sable by we mere mortals.
We see the suffering of humans becoming monstrous spawn, repitilian slaves of the Overlord. We see towns and characters put to the crucible and sword and feel their suffering.
Rabe's writing grows a lot. Her plot pacing is not fast but subtle. She uses wording that is differnt and unique.
I must say that I found this book to be a great supplement to the War of Soul in that it fleshes out Krynn for me ....It helps me see the Fifth Age through the eyes of people other than the Heroes of The Lance... Rabe's books stand out as being every bit as strong, but different than Weiss and Hickman!
Heartily Recommended.

Twists and Turns kept my head spinning!
19 Jun 2001
Format:Hardcover
I have to admit that I like surprises, and there were plenty in this book. I felt sorry for some of the characters, and angry at others. I like it when a book gets me to feel something.
I probably shouldn't give away the ending, but it surprised me. I am looking forward to the next book to see how it all turns out.
