4.0 out of 5 stars Riverwind the Plainsman is surprisingly good!, 26 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Riverwind the Plainsman (Dragonlance Preludes, Vol 4) (Mass Market Paperback)
When I bought this book, my first thought was that it would be a story of Riverwind's journey to Xak Tsaroth and would probably not fit into the Chronicles timeline. I was wrong on both thoughts. The book is very well written and the characters are good. (although I wasn't much impressed by Catchflea, and there is a long draggy point of walking through endless tunnels.) The story is like two books in one: first Riverwind journies to an undergound city of lost elves and participates in their rebellion against an evil elven sorceres, (Li El has to be one of the most evil villians I have ever read about) and then he journies to Xak Tsaroth to battle draconians and Khisanth the black dragon. It tied in very well with the series and explained why Riverwind couldn't remember the adventure. I know most people say that the preludes stink, but this one doesn't. Pick it up if you were as curious as me about Riverwind's lost quest that was wiped from his memory.

5.0 out of 5 stars simple but captivating, 31 Oct 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Riverwind the Plainsman (Dragonlance Preludes, Vol 4) (Mass Market Paperback)
I never really cared for whatever history Riverwind had to offer, i bought this book after sum thought only becoz 1) I had extra cash and 2) it wuz written by Paul Thompson and Tonya Carter who'z writing styles i admit , take a while 2 get used to , but after reading "Darkness and Light" (preludes 1 vol. 1 check it out! it'z also good!) which is the second novel they collaborated on , i jus had 2 give this talented writers another go as i did enjoy the novel mentioned above. After reading this book i had these thoughts in my mind 1) i did'nt waste my money 2) it'z a damn good book!! I'm glad dragonlance chroniclers gave this tall silent plainsman a chance 2 prove himself. Not only 2 his beloved Goldmoon , but 2 us readers as well. I for one seriously enjoyed the book. And hav no complaints on the pacing , it's not boring at the least. The characters are well handled , Catchflea lent sum humour 2 the trip. While Di An's vulnerability and puppy love feelings for Riverwind warmed my heart. (I'm glad in the end she did'nt get 2 fulfill her part of Catchflea'z prophecy). We are also introduced 2 a new faction of elves (this time underground dwellers , which reminded me strongly of Drow elves, frm which Di An hails frm) and "draconians" which r not really draconians to begin with (ophidians a result of experiments by a crazed alchemist in the story). All in all it's a great story , the action never lets up frm the beginning , it fades jus for a while 2 let u catch up then begins anew. Sumhow after reading this book Riverwind is'nt that distant or quiet anymore.
