Excellent

This was the book that got me hooked on Dragonlance. Its is very well writen. The characters are well developed and the story is very easy to follow. Even if you don't understand the Dragonlance universe. I would highly recomend this book to anyone just gettting into Fantasy.

Just a great book!

If you like books about how villians rise to power like I do, you'll love this book.Like most dragonlance novels, a character you hope doesn't die does. I truely with Ariakas's dwarven companion had lived.Unlike one reader's reveiw, it IS realistic to believe the Dark Queen would use so many people to help guide her champion.

Excellent!

Great story loaded with action. I enjoyed every bit of it, especially his Dwarven Companion. Before the Mask in My opinion was very slow and boring. This story is fast starting and keeps you riveted. I've been a fan of DL since the very Beginning, and this is my second favorite "offshoot" book, Lorde Toade being the best. Buy it if You can!!

It's O.K.

THis Book was O.K. And I think you should read it. I think it does get boring at some points but it is still pretty cool. I think some other Douglas Niles books are better but you decide

Good, but Verminaard is better.

This is a good, solid book. As another reviewer stated, it IS slow, but worth reading. The author uses good descriptions, but personally I think that Flint, the King (another Niles book) was superior to this one. I also think that Before the Mask, which told the story of Verminaard, was better. Read it if you've already started the series, but if you haven't, then start on a different book, like the Gully Dwarves or Before the Mask.
