Customer Reviews

The Silver Stair

First, DRAGON LANCE books are world class fanasty books. Unless you know nothing about reading these types of books you have no reason rating this book so low. All books by Jean Rabe are of the greatest stories told throughout DRAGON LANCE saga. The Silver Stair just happens to be my most favorite DL ever because theres just so much going on throughout the story. "Just read it"! DRAGON LANCE rules all others fail to come close.

Another great Dragonlance book.

Despite a few flaws I found this book quite entertaining. Following Gair's story was a very interesting read, and if this is how the Age of Mortals trilogy is like I'm sure it's hardly as bad as some people say. One thing that was odd, how was the mage at the start using magic as he did?

An Elf's Fall

This book started off a bit slow, but picked up pace around the third chapter. I liked it much more than I thought I would, and found it to be entertaining even though one of my friends `accidentally' told me some of the story. Basically this novel by Jean Rabe focuses on the fall of Gair (a Silvanesti Elf) to the dark side of mysticism with the building of the Citadel of Light in the background. Some new characters are introduced, such as a Gnoll and another Solamnic Knight and Jasper Fireforge and Goodmoon make re-appearances.This is also a very good information book on the workings of Mysticism, which makes it pretty much a must buy for any Fifth Age fan. If you aren't that big on the Fifth Age then it's still a good read with plenty of interesting characters and lots of spirited fighting.The only thing that I didn't like about this novel was the length. Typical of the Bridges of Time series the ending seemed a bit rushed and not as full and as deep as it could have been. But other than that, it's a good DL book by Jean Rabe.

A Great Read

I thought this was a "dark" book, with the undead and such, and a good character becoming a bad-guy. Still, I found myself really getting into the characters. It moved quickly after the first couple of chapters. I wished it had been longer.

It was great

Jean - I just finished your book and I have to say it was FANTASTIC. I have a thing about books, there are some books that are blah (I start reading them and put them down and never finish), then there are the books that are okay (I can read several of them at a time - they only interest me a little bit). Next we have the good ones (they're the ones I leave on my night stand and I read those at night if I'm not too tired). Finally we have the OH MY GOD THIS IS SO GOOD I CAN'T PUT IT DOWN (these are the books that I carry in my purse. The books that I read every chance I get. These are the books with the potential of getting me fired because I'm reading them instead of the reports - you know the comic book in the history book routine). Seriously Jean, this is a great story. You are a very gifted writer and I enjoyed your book immensely. I felt like I was there seeing it all.
