My favorite type of DragonLance books to read--other than ones specifically crucial to the main story line--are ones that focus on new characters. Jeff Crook does just that with his third full length DragonLance novel, this one focusing on Conundrum from the new War of Souls trilogy by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. Not only do you get a look at the title character and his hillarious journey to fulfill his life-quest, but you also get a wonderful look into one of the most intriguing races on Krynn: the gnomes.
Sometimes I found myself rolling on the floor laughing with the gnomes and their off-beat antics. Other times I was so caught up in their sea-faring lives that I couldn't stop turning the pages.

Whatever you look for in a new DragonLance adventure, you'll most likely find it in this new novel.
I gave this novel four stars because sometimes, in some chapters, I wasn't happy with the writing style. But overall, it was written very well.

The book that drew me in...
2 Sep 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This was the first Dragonlance novel I had ever read. It was the cover art that attracted me to this book (...a stupid reason to decied to read a book, huh?). I knew nothing about the characters, their history, or the World in which they lived, but I decied to give it a chance.
Quickly (much too quickly) I became emotionally attached to most of the characters in this book; those foolish, scatter-brained, bumbling Gnomes, the very child-like yet irrepressably curious Kender. They all drew me into the story, and kept me interested in what would happen to them next- all the way to the last page.

Give this book a chance, you won't regret it...

Loved it...
29 Jan 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This was a thoroughly enjoyable novel, and a great addition to any DL collection. While some die hard fans may find some inconsistancy between the Conundrum in this book vs. the Conundrum in Weis & Hickman's War of Souls Trilogy, I didn't find anything worth throwing a temper tantrum over. If anything, this book will make you want to pay more attention to Conundrum when he appears throughout the War of Souls Trilogy. Jeff Crook has a great knack for Gnomish humor. As some of the situations the crew of the MNS Indistructible run into make others laugh out loud (or run for cover), the predominantly Gnomish crew takes their scientific expeditions very seriously, making it even funnier. Their Chief Engineer is also their Mishaps Guild representative!
I stopped reading DL novels a few years back but the War of Souls trilogy and books like Conundrum are bringing me back to Krynn. Kinda like visiting an old friend.

My son has been asking for this book for a long time. Once it arrived, he read it from cover to cover, with many belly laughs. He said it was a classic gnome story.
