Who works for who?
16 July 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Another good informative DL book, I seem to be reading a lot of those lately. This story involved quite a few elements, including a plague, the Knights of Solamnia `spying' on Hogan Bight, the Knights of Takhisis, and the Legion of Steel. The Legion of Steel stuck in the middle of this information battle while trying to help the common people. The Knights of Takhisis trying to overrun Sanction and kill Lord Bight. And last Hogan Bight himself, the mysteriously powerful Lord Governor of Sanction.
Stuck in the middle of all this chaos is the Knight of the Rose Linsha Majere (daughter of Palin and Usha). Linsha was an interesting character, but I was saddened to find that her problem solving skills were so low. The only part of this novel that I didn't like was that Linsha seemed not able to put two and two together while some of the mysteries were very obvious through out the whole book.
But that damage is easily repaired by finally getting to see the secrets of Hogan Bight. The very cool Lord Governor of Sanction that can control the Volcanoes around the city of Sanction and loves the city and it's people more than anything else in his life (except maybe a good swim).
Mary Herbert has turned into one of my favorite DL authors, right at the top with Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman, and Richard A. Knaak. I can't wait for her next DL novel (title Dragon's Bluff I believe) to come out.

Linsha Majere, Knight of the Rose!
25 Jun 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This has got to be one of the best Dragonlance novels I have ever read. Bar None! Linsha Majere is ordered my the Solmanics Clandestine Circle to get as close to Lord Bight as possible. They want to find out anything they can use to discredit him.
Shortly after a ship crashed into the docks in Saction's harbor. Almost everyone on board the ship is dead. Having died of some foul disease that no one has ever seen before. This plague threatens to wipe out all of Sanctions people if the cure is not found soon.
Linsha along with her companion Varia (an owl) are pulled into a tangled web of lies and half truths.Not only that but Linsha begins to have feelings for her commanding officer. She also begins to earn a healthy respect for Lord Bight.
In the end she will have to choose between here orders, or doing what feels right in here heart. 5 Stars to this amazing entry into the Dragonlance Saga!

Following the bloodline
6 Dec 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
As much as War of Souls follows the giant sweeping epic arcs of Krynn, it is good to be able to watch what the children of the original Dragonlance Chronicles heroes are doing... or in this case one particular grandchild.
That in and of itself does not make for a good book. But what did make this book good was a good solid storyline, interesting characters, and enough intrigue to keep you going from chapter to chapter.
I don't mean to spoil anything but not all details get resolved, but it does leave enough open for a true sequel (rather than the following Crossroads novels which are separate stories) that I would be very much inclined to read.
A few of the details are easy to figure out on your own in this book, and there are a few details you want to slap the main character for not seeing. But to be able to read through the boatload of events going on in one city existing in the location in Ansalon that screams 'Please Gods! Destroy us now!' is very much the treat.
