With a good, proper, nasty character like Fistandantilus and a top-class author like Doug Niles, I'd expected something better. Instead, what you get for your money is a plodding story centred around a boy and some kender wandering around completely unaware that they're being watched by one of Krynn's major villains. The most interesting part of the book was the historical lead-up of the first few chapters which explains how the Bloodstone of Fistandantilus passed through the ages; the story it leads to is unquestionably disappointing.

I bought this book, because I have always wondered about the life of Fistandantilus before he helped Rastlain pass the test of magic. Unfortunately I should have read more into the title.
The book chronicles, a historian's attempt to piece together what happens after the skull mountain is created, (near the time of the cataclysm.) and subsequent appearence of fistandantilus, as a story goes it's not gripping, but as a background to one of the two evilist archmages in the dragonlance books, it is interesting to see how threads are brought together, all in all it is not actually a bad book, if not a bit boring at times.

This book was excruciatingly awful. Save yourselves!
28 Mar 2003
Format:Mass Market Paperback
When I first found this book in the bookstore, I had high hopes that it would be good, and bought it immediately. Rarely, have I been so terribly wrong about a book. It was terrible, the characters were barely developed, the Kender was a Kender in name only and didn't seem or act like one at all, Fistandantilus was portrayed as kind of a wimpy crybaby, Raistlin was barely mentioned, and the entire book seemed to be bereft of interesting dialog. In fact, what little dialog there was, was mostly B movie quality dialog, along the lines of, "Hey, we need to go over there."
"OK, lets go over there."
"Gee, I like this place, lets stay for a while."
"OK, lets stay for a while."
In other words, it was boring, tedious, drawn out, and had absolutely no point. In fact, it was even more boring to read than my review of it.

Douglas Niles does it again..
27 Feb 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I've read just about every single Dragon Lance book ever released, but I must say Fistandantilus Reborn outdoes them all. This book is spectacular, it's even better than 'Kagonesti : A Story of the Wild Elves' and 'Tales of Uncle Trapspringer', it might not be quite as good as 'The Gully Dwarves' but hey!....what is? The thickness of the plot and the symbolism in this book is simply phenomenal. This masterpiece is in short, without spoiling anything, the story of a young mages journey from insecure boy to one of the most evil and powerful beings in the history of Kryn. An absolute must-read!

Book o.k. if you're curious about Fistandantilus
29 April 2003
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book was rather slow at first, then midway through it got pretty interesting. It has little to do with Raistlin, I guess Niles was trying to explain how Fistandantilus made his way to the future as a spirit, the spirit that eventually turns Raistlin into what he is in the Chronicles Trilogy. Though the book was at times hard to follow, it explained well how Fistandantilus crossed the barriers of time, but it fell short of explaining how Fistandantilus wound up in the Tower of High Sorcery at Wayreth as some sort of spirit.
I recommend this book if you're a DL fan and want to know more about Fistandantilus.
