4.0 out of 5 stars Finally more about Gilthanas and Silvara!, 22 Jul 1999
By A Customer
I've been looking forward to reading about these characters for years! Douglas Niles, Steve Miller, and Stan! have delivered in spades, even if I wish there had been more of Silvara. (The one story withher that was included was excellent, however, and made her appearance in "The Day of the Tempest" make a lot more sense.) Other stories I liked were the one in Kalaman, the one with Linsha Majere (I've been wanting to know more about her ever since I read "Citadel of Light"), and the one set in Missing City. The main character of that one was delightfully creepy. The source sections about the locations Gilthanas visited during his search for Silvara are also excellent and I think they should be interesting whether one plays roleplaying games or not. I think both gamers and readers will like this book equally well. (Oh, and the card game included in the back is a lot of fun.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great sourcebook for the Dragonlance RPG, 25 Sep 2000
By R. Harrison "random_code" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This really was everything I expected. Advertised as a sourcebook for the Dragonlance RPG - it really 'filled in the gaps' which were missing from Gilthanas' history when he is "reintroduced" to the DL game world. You people who didn't like what you read - tough. We need more products like this for D&D characters. They add a much needed verisimilitude to much loved creations

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than some, 9 Feb 2000
By A Customer
If anyone had bothered to read the introduction they would see that this book is meant to bridge the gap in Gilthanas's story, not tell his whole story, and I personally found the short stories that make up this book a refreshing change to the norm. Some of the stories could have been better written but on the whole I liked this book.
