This lady LOVES the word Rheumy! Every third character introduced has "rheumy eyes". We get it lady, you have a new vocabulary word...good for you! NOW SHUT UP ABOUT IT ALREADY! Actually, this is not the only often repeated phrase or theme. It's just the one that irritated me the most.

Also, every conflict or challenge is almost immediately resolved with little flare, struggle or imagination.

Jean Rabe seems so far to be a very lazy author and I'm not impressed.

I completely recommend the earlier books by Weis and Hickman, but these later books by random whoever...no, no I don't recommend them. I'm just reading the ones I already bought (before I knew they were crap) for some masochistic reason. Do as I say, not as I do...seriously. (

The story is interesting enough but the writing seems off. Dragonlance should only be in the hands of Margaret, Tracy, and a handful of other writers. (
