Product Description
Synopsis
Galen Pathwarden is the world's least promising knight. Cowardly, deceiptful, and hardly nobel, mired in a backwater castle far from adventure, he bickers with his brothers and schemes against his elders. But one eventful night, a sinister visitor intrudes on Galen's dreary life - this encounter lauches Galen on a bizarre quest.

Galen is a fascinating protagonist,
By
This review is from: Dragonlance Saga Heroes Volume Three: Weasel's Luck (TSR): Weasel's Luck v. 3 (Mass Market Paperback)
Williams portrayal of Galen is what makes this book. Around the standard "go and fetch this and kill the villain" quest story, we are given an extremely amusing antihero narrator. Galen is intelligent, mercenary, and a coward. He'd sell his own grandmother if he could find her.
This makes a nice change from all the whiny, holier than thou heroes which seem to plague the rest of Dragonlance (Tanis for instance). Granted you can still hear the dice rolling in the background, but Galen is so likeable that it doesn't matter. And he's likeable because he really is everyman, a hero who would much rather lay around and do nothing than be out adventuring. If you like your heroes with sarcasm, darkly horrid (but not evil)back story and other touches of reality, this is the Dragonlance book to get. If you like your heroes whiter than white, find another book.

Very poor indeed,

This review is from: Dragonlance Saga Heroes Volume Three: Weasel's Luck (TSR): Weasel's Luck v. 3 (Mass Market Paperback)
This has got to be one of the weakest fantasy books I've read. Characters you don't really care and the worlds most obvious plot; I wonder if I can guess what happens next? Oh, I have.My advice? Avoid this, and try some of R.A. Salvatore's Dark Elf books.

Try not to be confused,
By Senor Gonzo "Take care of yourself because no... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dragonlance Saga Heroes Volume Three: Weasel's Luck (TSR): Weasel's Luck v. 3 (Mass Market Paperback)
First off, "Brightblade" is the name of the knight that gets Galen into all this trouble. My question is, is this an ancestor of Sturm's, or a descendant? Then there's this lengthy story that ends up revolving around revenge from a dead ancestor of the "damsel in distress." At certain points in the book, I was left with "What???" Get the book if you like the different aspects of the DL world, but don't think this is the average DL book.

Waste of time unless you want to read all the heroes books,
By Lenny Cinquemani - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dragonlance Saga Heroes Volume Three: Weasel's Luck (TSR): Weasel's Luck v. 3 (Mass Market Paperback)
I have to say I was let down by this book. I basically thought that this book stunk. I was so tired of Galen rambling on and hiding whenever danger happened. I have read 32 Dragonlance books so far and by far this was the worst one. I just finished it so I can one day complete reading all the DL books. Honestly I think it was a waste of time and just drawn out. Save your money and don't buy this book.

A decent sort of read,
By "vedvedsica" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dragonlance Saga Heroes Volume Three: Weasel's Luck (TSR): Weasel's Luck v. 3 (Mass Market Paperback)
At first I was against reading Weasel's Luck because it didn't contain any of the Companions, something I felt betrayed the Dragonlance series. However, Williams' novel was much better than I expected maybe because of the fact that it contained no Companions. A lot of the Chronicles spin-offs (preludes, meetings), are rubbish anyway, with notable exceptions such as Mary Kirchoff's Kendermore. All in all, I thought Weasel's Luck was a good story, partly because of the fact it was not as restrained by Weis and Hickman's work than other DL novels. I sympathise with pathetic, cowardly characters, but I did feel that Galen went a little too far. Even snivelling does get boring after a while.I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a Dragonlance novel that is slightly off the beaten track. |
