Who is the One God? Why are the Great Dragons so different from their brethren? Exactly what happened to the Tower of High Sorcery in Palanthas? The answers to these and other questions lie in Dragons of a Lost Star.
Like its predecessor, the book works through several intertwining threads: Palin's continued efforts to discover what part Tasslehoff plays in Krynn's fall from grace; Goldmoon's search for the source of the River of the Dead; Gilthas' and Laurana's defiance of Beryllinthranox; and, of course, Mina's continued spreading of the word of the One God. These threads remain almost completely distinct throughout, with only minor overlap. I'm assuming that Dragons of a Vanished Moon will pull them all together...
The characters in the novel, both old and new, are well detailed and convincing. The writing is clear and fluid, with the story delivering well timed punches throughout. Weis and Hickman attack the setting with courage and conviction, never shying away from sweeping changes with Krynn-shaking impact.
Amazing.

The cliff hanger of the last book is nothing compared to this one! Part one is like a starter meal with this being the feast before the glorious desert! I shall not spoil the book for you, but i must say that if you have any speculations about this book, you might be vilafied with you guesses as to the identity of the one god! see old faces return with new ones, as well as departures and shocks that will keep you reading nonstop! i bought this book and had to finish it with in the week!
The next chapter isnt out for another year, but this is building up to be the best chapter of krynns history yet! weis and hickmans story telling is spot on, as fresh as ever with turns and spills that will have to hoocked and oocasioanlly reaching for a kleenex!
read and enjoy!

This is a great book in a series that shakes the very foundations of Krynn. Follow as Wies & Hickman lead you through the new Fifth Age, the Age of mortals to discover some of the answers tosome of the questions from the last book. Who is Mina, and what is the source of her power this new god "The One", and what is happening to the magic and how many times if our favourite Kender going to keep coming back. If you like Sci-Fi you must read all the great books by Wies & Hickman especially this book, but only after you have read the first book in the War of Souls 'Dragons of a Fallen Sun'.

A solid middle book
Lost Star, the second in the War of the Souls trilogy entertains from start to end. There's plenty of suspense, a little intrigue and a killer finale, something that usually lacks... Read more

One of those books that verges on brilliance yet stumbles...
This book/novel is a remarkably well written piece of work...despite the story being incoherent and broken up like a rather smashed up piece of crockery. Read more
