Have no received my book , ordered 1.5 months ago and can’t seem to be able to make a claim or talk to any one. Super disappointing to order from.

Excellent

This book really shows you a side of Flint that we don't get to see in the books with the companions. If focuses on his leadership abilities, his compassion for other races (especially the gully dwarves)and even shows him over coming his own prejudice towards his cousins (mountian dwarves). It also shows that Flint is capable of love. Very adventurous, funny and might even shed a tear for him. If your a fan of the companions then do yourself a favor and read about Flint. :) Youll see Flint in a whole new light.

Good and moving tale

Flint the King is one of the better dragonlance books in the genre. I was a little hesitant when i first picked up this book, thinking that it would be boring the whole way through. But i was severely wrong in that thinking. Not only was the book action packed, funny, emotional, but it had a great story line that keeps you hooked the whole way through.When Flint goes to the lair of the mountain dwarves to investigate a murder, as well as discover what is happening to his town, he ends up getting captured. He is setenced to death, but ends up getting saved by some gully dwarves, along with a rather accentric mountain dwarf.Flint must make the smelly, dirty, dumb gully dwarves into an army that can help him save his village from a terror that could wipe the town off of the map. Along with the female mountain dwarf, Flint tries desperately to save not only his life, but the life of all his family and friends.This book is filled with just the right amount of action, suspense, and emotion, carrying you through the book until the last page flips by. Yes Flint is romantic in this book, but it does nothing to take away from the character that was established by Wies and Hickman back in the day. This book is definately up to the wonderful duo's standard, and will prove to be a great read.

Flint, the King

The King of the Gully Dwarves... lol, I never thought I'd see that from Flint! All in all, this was a very enjoyable novel, complete with the humor of the Aghar (gully dwarves), a love interest of Flint's named Perian, magic from the derro of the Theiwar clan of Thorbardin, and the forming of an evil army. This novel definatley gives the reader a different aspects(s)of Flint, for the good, and his family is even broadened here. No other companions, though they are sorely missed during Flint's journey and adventures (by Flint himself) and one thing that was real interesting... in all the other Preludes novels (excluding "Tanis, the Shadow Years"--just getting to that one)the evil queen tries to enter this domain. In this novel she's only mentioned through her forces of evil. No plots of hers are destroyed like the other novels...All in all, worthy of all 5 stars... maybe even more!!

One of the better Dragonlance books...

My, my... Where do I start? I can say that this is the best book I've read in quite a long time. Like a lot of Dragonlance books it had twists and turns behind every corner, but it also contained some great comedy, action, and even a little romance. If you've read the origonal series and liked it, you really should read this.

You gotta read this book!

This was a vey interesring book. It had very interesting and funny characters(especially the aghar). Mary Kirchoff explained the details and scenes of the story in a very believable way. She exlpains the characters so well that I can imagine them in my head. The story had a lot of adventures and action.
