Book Reviews of Amber and Blood: The Dark Disciple, Volume Three (v. 3)
Book Review: Another disappointed reader
Summary: 2 Stars
I feel kind of like a bonehead writing a review here as I could care less about a typo - I'm just a dumb reader in it for the entertainment value of the story. Previous to a couple of months ago, I have never heard of the Dragonlance books. At this point, Amber & Blood was my 17th book read from the series.
Margaret Weis has impressed me with her storytelling and fleshing out characters who are interesting and heroes in their own way. This work was kind of disappointing.
It's challenging to write a review without giving away too many details. I also have never reviewed a book prior to this attempt. However, something had to be said in case it's valuable for future reference!
It's hard to beat Tanis the half-elven and Raistlin Majere as characters. However, considering the influence this series has on Krynn, it's kinda disappointing that the series turned into - Rhys the Babysitter Chronicles. The characters were less than "heroes" like in the other books, the gods were simply non-awe inspiring (and quite less powerful than one would expect) and Mina...in this book...I just wanted to say, "Are you kidding me?"
I like the dog which was by far the most powerful presence in the book. She bit everything and lived. Rhys, who obviously reminds us of a Shaolin Monk, could have been so much more fun to put into action. That is if he didn't bounce his head off everything and then get touched better. Mina....(head shake).
Did I mention I like the dog?
Summary of Amber and Blood: The Dark Disciple, Volume Three (v. 3)
The Dark Disciple's story, now complete!In this paperback edition of the concluding volume of the Dark Disciple trilogy, Mina learns the truth about herself and the terrible knowledge drives her insane. Rhys, the monk of Majere, accompanied by his dog Atta and the kender Nightshade, is given the dangerous assignment of guarding the crazed god, escorting her on a long, strange journey to the mysterious place known as Godshome, where Mina hopes to find the answer to the riddle of her existence. Their path is fraught with peril, for the undead Beloved want to make Mina their leader, even as the death knight Krell wants to seize her and Galdar tries to deliver Mina to her most hated enemy.
