5.0 out of 5 stars Dragonlance as it should be., 30 Jan 2002
By Daniel Woods (East Kilbride, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Chris Pierson certainly seems to have come out of nowhere, claiming only "Spirit of the Wind" and "Dezra's Quest" as his Dragonlance titles, but I cannot think of another author who has so perfectly captured the feel of the first novels by Weis and Hickman.

"Chosen of the Gods" centres around the quest of the First Daughter of Paladine to find the 'Lightbringer' of prophesy, tying in with the struggle of a commoner turned to banditry on the borderlands at the edge of the Istar empire. Fearing the loss of his crown to this 'Lightbringer,' the Kingpriest bows to corruption and Evil to retain his power, turning the military might of Istar upon its people.

The result is one of the few stories worthy of the Dragonlance title, one far better than most of the mass-produced nonsense that has been cranked out in the past. Varying between heroism, sacrifice, tragedy, and brutality, Pierson captures the Dragonlance feel completely. He has no shortage of fresh ideas that tie in seamlessly with established writings, and unlike most new ideas, a sense of credibility is maintained. For veterans of the series, the story contains several references to previous works, adding depth and making it seem like a part of the world rather than a bolted-on afterthought. Some old characters make welcome appearances: remember Loralon and Quarath from the Legends trilogy? And let's not forget one very dark, very evil, very powerful wizard...

A gem in any fan's collection.
