Another Great Dwarven Tale

Dan Parkinson does a great job in this second book of the Dwarven Nations Trilogy. I think the Dwarves are one of the most interesting and entertaining races on Krynn, and Dan Parkinson does an excellent job bringing out the best in this novel. If you're at all interested in learning more about how the Dwarven nation was formed and evolved, read all three of these books!

Wonderful Continuance in a fantastic series!

The Dwarven Nations Trilogy has been the best I've ever read.Every time you read it, it just gets better and better. This spirited second mainly deals with the coming together of the dwarven clans of Kal-Thax...and the beginings of what will soon be "Thorbardin". If you havent figured it out, this series takes place before the Catacylsm. This is by far the best "History" series I've ever read. It keeps you coming back for more and more. Though sadly it is out of print, and you have to pay like 20.00 for every book, the price is well worth it.**Check Ebay, I've seen quiet a few sets of them on there for a really good price... -Jon

Dwarfy Goodness!

Despite being the first Dragonlance book I ever read, and that this is the second part of a series, I loved it. I did however find it confusing the way the story flitted between locations but the characters were strong and scenery fantastic. The huge solar-powered (sort-of) caverns the fighters lived in. The battles are perfect length and keep you interested 'till the end. Good stuff.

A very good story!

This book is one of the best non-Weis and Hickman DL books. There was plenty of action (it was a bit slow in some parts) and magic for a good fantasy. I liked that it had a sence of imporance in it. This is the future of the Dwarven race. This is a must buy for any DL fan.

Excellent

This was without a doubt one of the best DL books I've read in a long time. While the first book was good, it was very slow, having to detail how all of the dwarven clans came together, getting very long in spots, but, in the end, still creating a good epic feel. On the other hand, this book was a fast-paced adventure with lots of magic which is just what I was looking for. If you've read the first book and aren't sure whether or not you should read this one, I'd highly recommend it!
