[QUOTE="Ralif Redhammer, post: 8725865, member: 30438"] I agree...but I would put the point for me when the book shifts to other characters as the primary points of view. And maybe that's the point? After that, it became clear that she was actually the main antagonist of the story. That was an interesting name-drop. I liked that Ungar got some of the details wrong (or at least, from what little I know, he did) - I'm not sure if that's just supposed to show how cross-world rumor isn't reliable, or to emphasize what a charlatan he is. I finished the book this morning and enjoyed it. It was enjoyable returning to Krynn, seeing familiar places and faces described in the text. Their writing has definitely improved over the years. The depictions of Kender and how they are treated by society at large was painful - seeing them segregated from the other races at the Inn of the Last Home was particularly ugly and tone-deaf considering all the discussions about fantasy and race that have happened in the last few years. And I'm not sure I completely get how they're handling the effects of time travel; but when you start using time travel as a plot device, it's almost always going to have holes in it that require an extra spackling of Suspension of Disbelief. Nonetheless, I am very excited to see where the next book goes. [/QUOTE]
