Customer Reviews

The book that drew me in...

This was the first Dragonlance novel I had ever read. It was the cover art that attracted me to this book (...a stupid reason to decied to read a book, huh?). I knew nothing about the characters, their history, or the World in which they lived, but I decied to give it a chance. Quickly (much too quickly) I became emotionally attached to most of the characters in this book; those foolish, scatter-brained, bumbling Gnomes, the very child-like yet irrepressably curious Kender. They all drew me into the story, and kept me interested in what would happen to them next- all the way to the last page. Give this book a chance, you won't regret it...

Loved it...

This was a thoroughly enjoyable novel, and a great addition to any DL collection. While some die hard fans may find some inconsistancy between the Conundrum in this book vs. the Conundrum in Weis & Hickman's War of Souls Trilogy, I didn't find anything worth throwing a temper tantrum over. If anything, this book will make you want to pay more attention to Conundrum when he appears throughout the War of Souls Trilogy. Jeff Crook has a great knack for Gnomish humor. As some of the situations the crew of the MNS Indistructible run into make others laugh out loud (or run for cover), the predominantly Gnomish crew takes their scientific expeditions very seriously, making it even funnier. Their Chief Engineer is also their Mishaps Guild representative!I stopped reading DL novels a few years back but the War of Souls trilogy and books like Conundrum are bringing me back to Krynn. Kinda like visiting an old friend.
