Improves on the first book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tides of Blood (Minotaur Wars) (Hardcover)
An excellent read from start to finish this take the trilogy on from where it left off and improves on the first book which was not his best work. This book definetly is back to his minotaur best. The one thing I will critises is the need for an orge language, who cares about made up words english will do as this did get very annoying at times as its a hes say you say conversation in jiberish so lets hope no more orge speak in book three!!!

Tides of Blood,
By Flash_wolf - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tides Of Blood: 2 (Minotaur Wars) (Mass Market Paperback)
Tides of Blood - By Richard A. Knaak
Wizards of the Coast, April 1st 2005, 384 pages Fantasy This is the second book of a trilogy about the Minotaur race during the war of the souls. This trilogy belongs to the book series called Dragonlance. This book takes place in the minotaur empire and in the ogre kingdom. The time is during the war of souls. The gods have left Krynn and magic is nothing more than a shallow husk. Rumors have been spread that the undead can no longer pass on to the after life and now they wander the planet draining people who try to use magic. During this trying time, minotaur emperor Hotak has made a pact with their ancient enemies, the ogres to try to take over the continent of Ansalon. He has also forged a pact with the mysterious Mina and her growing army to try to take over the legendary home of the elves, Silvanesti. But rebels and a growing darkness plague Hotak's kingdom right under his muzzle. As the escaped slave Faros begins to build an army of fugitives in the land of the ogres, Hotak's wife, Nephera continues to be consumed by an unholy darkness. The main characters of this story are Hotak, the throne usurper; Faros, nephew of the late emperor Chot; Nephera, wife of the emperor Hotak and Hotak's two sons, Bastion and Ardnor. This is an exciting, intriguing book that will have you begging for more. Knaak makes this second book a nonstop thriller of rebellion, love, war and suspicion. His first book in the trilogy, Night of Blood, Knaak had built a powerful story and he continues it in this second installment. I enjoyed this book as much as I enjoyed his previous one, Nights of Blood. If you are a fan of fantasy and Dragonlance, I highly urge you to go and pick up Knaak's trilogy today. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

High action fantasy,
By Mitch Mckillip "Hecatomb" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tides Of Blood: 2 (Minotaur Wars) (Mass Market Paperback)
As I often am when I go back to the Dragonlance series, I came into this book looking for a fun, quick read. I had just finished the Chinese classic "A Journey to the West" which though good, was very drawn out in my opinion.
I had read a few from Mr. Knaack before and I knew his style. Although he will never win awards he writes a great book, with just enough detail and plot to keep your interest. But his specialty is in action, and keeping the plot moving at breakneck speed. It worked, I completed this book in 4 days. The Minotaur species in Dragonlance is very good for Knaack's strengths. They see most things in black and white, and are very militant. But the ruling class keeps you interested in the behind the scenes political intrigue. While you will never be identifying with characters, or getting teary eyed with their struggles, they have just enough personality to pull your interest. If you're a militant fantasy connoisseur, then skip it. But if you want a great story with intense action, this will be a great read for you. The whole trilogy is done in just over 1000 pages, yet still feels epic. I gave it a 5 not comparing it to other great works in the genre, but for succeeding in what it was trying to do. Like I said I read it in 4 days despite having a full time job, and a busy weekend. That's saying something.

Great Second Book,
By Benjamin A. Jacobson "Kranar Drogin" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tides Of Blood: 2 (Minotaur Wars) (Mass Market Paperback)
If you like battles and internal strife, this is the book for you. The second book in the minotaur series has the minotaurs already in the midst of invading Ansalon. Faros is trying to escape from imprisonment and exact revenge up his oppressors. Also, to show the unity in the ogre nations should make this worrisome for other races of Ansalon also. A major shake-up of the eastern side of the continent is going to affect the entire continent soon enough....
