Format:Paperback
Kirchoff's tale of Black Dragon Khisanth is quite an entertaining read. The story unfolds firsthand from Khisanth's perspective, from the moment she is awoken by the Nyphid's from her Dragon sleep; to her exile in Xak Tsaroth, concluding with her bursting forth from the well to confront the heroes from the original Dragonlance Trilogy. I like the charcter of Led . The attraction that Khisanth has for him in human form contrasts greatly with her feelings for him in Dragon form, which concludes with her abrupt, merciless dispatch of him, headfirst into her jaws, after taunting him in the most satisfactory manner. We also gain insights into other Black Dragons in Takhisis's army & the hierarchical structure in place. The Solamnic knights also make a welcome appearance in this novel. However, I feel that this book focuses on Dragons too much to the detriment of not developing enough human characters to add further depth to the story. Having said that there is more than enough here to make this novel a worthwhile read.

The Best
5 Jan 2000
Format:Paperback
This was one of the first Dragonlance books that I read and, ultimately, my favorite. By far, Khisanth is the most memorable "evil" character and, quite honestly, the most interesting. The only thing that bothers me is her ultimate (and unfortunate) fate at the hands of the heroes in the Dragon Series. I think it's rather unsportsmanlike to make us like a character in one book, only to dispose of her in another. It's too bad there can't be more adventures with Khisanth the dragon.

Great Book
15 July 1998
Format:Paperback
This is a Book that not only stand out in my mind above The Dragonlance books. but this book stands out above every book i have ever read. It's great and goes in depth at a Dragon's life. Another Reason this is a good book...is because (unlike other Dragonlance Novels) this doesnt need to be read before or after any other novel no particular order or anything...this is a Great Book and i suggest you buy it.
