This book is the story of how Kitiara Uth Matar and Tanis Half-Elven met. It takes you on a journey were they come to depend on each other, as they encounter two-headed trolls, evil mages and former lovers. It's a must for all fans of Tanis and Kit.

Good, but lacking
11 Nov 1999
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I'll admit it, I'm a Kit fan, one of the few from what I can tell. Anyway, I really liked this book for the insight it gave into Kitiara and Tanis's relationship, but I don't feel that it went into enough depth. That was really dissapointing. It also confuses the time frame of Steel's conception. Don't let this book through that out of wack for you. Its a good book, but it really isn't in line with the other books very well.

Decent, but...
5 April 2001
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is definitely better than Oath and Measure, so if you're reading the Meetings Sextet in order then at least things improve. The meeting between Tanis and Kitiara is VERY lacking in drama--they simply fall into each others arms in a mixture of battle and unexpected lust. This should have been handled much more carefully.
The non-Chronicles characters are extremely enjoyable in the sense that they add a depth to the novel and allow it to be an original story. However, the plot itself isn't very complex--a bad guy wants power, yawn. Also, there are almost too many other characters--I felt like the dynamic between the two mages could have been its own novel, but Ellen was "forced" to write about Tanis and Kit instead. As a result, neither relationship is developed appropriately.
Still, a decent read with good characters in a great realm.
"Meetings Sextet" Limps Along With This Below Average Book
3 Jan 2012
Format:Mass Market Paperback
"Steel and Stone" is the fifth addition to the "Meetings Sextet"--a series that showed hints of early promise before falling flat and running out of gas. In this book, Ellen Porath--who had written the average first book in the sextet with another writer--takes on covering the meeting between Tanis Half Elven and Kitiara, two of the chief characters in the saga. What should have been an interesting tale falls flat as the book wanders off in too many directions, including a cast of solid secondary characters who, while charming, do little to move the plot along and a strange, convoluted epic journey. There is almost nothing that stands out in this book and little to commend it. "Steel and Stone" is one more below average Dragonlance book that most fans of the saga can miss without missing a beat.
