Customer Reviews

A great tale of yet another little known inhabitant of Krynn

From beginning to end, this book is a page turner. It tells of the wild elf tribe called the Kagonesti. And the perils it faces as it developes through time. Every part is exciting and you really sympathize with the characters. This is a great book.

Great!

Very nice view points in this book. This book is nearly as good as its counterpart, The Dragons. This book is very realistic with its wars at the appropriate times and the tribes of Kagonesti responding to the destruction of their forests and the historical facts as viewed by the Pathfinders of the Kagonesti. A definite must read.

FINALLY! This is the Book I Have been Looking For!

This is my first DragonLance Book and it was Exetremely Good! I highly recommend it. It contains Suspence, Violence, Easy-to-Understand Material and an Outstanding Plot. The Novel is about the Kagonesti Elves and their honorable struggle against tyranny of several opponents who strive to bring the Wild Elves' lives in the forest to a gruesome ends. These Enemies includ the House Elves, Queen Tahkis, Istar (humans), and the multi-colored dragons. Join Kagonos, Ashtaway, and Iydahoe in their heroic attempts in keeping the Kagonseti free from domestication and eradication.

The Ultimate in Multi-Generational Epics!

The book was excellent. I have always wanted to know where the Wild Elves came from, and how they came to be called the Kagonesti. The covenant between the Elderwild and the Silver Dragons is of great historical value to Krynn, symbolized by the twin Ram's Horns. The fact that Ashtaway and Iydahoe became great Pathfinders when they were only simple warriors, are two stories worth the tell. Hey, for three not-too-short stories in one book...its a steal!

One of the best Dragonlance books I have read

Being a big fan of Elves myself, I never really knew much about the Kagonesti. This book descended upon me in the summer and I could not put it down. Quite possibly the best history I have read. It spans well over three generations, shows everything about the relationship with the Silver Dragons. The only thing that I can find to complain about it is the fact that it spent a bit too much time on battles with other cultures, instead of describing the society itself, which does seem a little one-sided.
