[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 8326311, member: 20741"] You might be right - been more than 2 decades since I read [I]DoWN [/I]as well (though I am re-listening to [I]DoAT[/I] now though). [Funny, it seems to hold up better in the new audio book version than the last time I read it -- which was 15 or so years ago and I remembered it as being [B]far[/B] more awful than it sounds like now. Don't get me wrong; GRRM or Rothfuss it isn't. And the first book, in particular, is poorly written. Weis gets better as she becomes a more experienced author. I am sure that if she re-wrote the original Chronicles now, they would be MUCH better.] It might be the only thing that was omitted was Silvara and Gilthanas getting the good dragons back? To be honest - I might have misremembered that too. Anyways, we don't have to guess - there's a novel with that information inside it :) I'll probably get to it later this summer if someone doesn't authoritatively remind us both before that. I'm pretty sure that Dracart's whole opening of the gate to the Abyss to let the spirits of the Abishai in was not in the novel though. [I]shrug[/I] Well, maybe "sure" is the wrong word :) Hmm. I do remember some text talking about a big blob of dragon spit though. I had thought that description was in the module, but I might be wrong about that, too. So many books -- so many years!
