Shadow of the past!

A wizard sacrificed himself to preserve the secrets of magic. Centuries later, the survival of magic is again in question.

For Lyim, Guerrand's former friend and now renegade wizard, seeks to destroy the magic that he believes has forsaken him. The final battle will rage across the universe.

Fantastic Trilogy

I have a voracious appetite for all Dragonlance books, currently own over 70. This Trilogy (Defenders of Magic) was absolutely fabulous. A really surprising diamond of a series. With one minor exception of a subtle but ignorant allusion to marijuana ("weed") being smoked by elves (?) that had completely ruined their lives, I loved the story, the characters and especially the ending. Ms. Kirchoff held a very high (my allusion) position at TSR editing and publishing Dragonlance novels, and it shows. Although how one turns a moon on it's side so that it's completely flat and invisible when viewed from Krynn- seeming to suggest that Krynn's moons are disks rather than globes, which is the first time that I've ever heard that one- this trilogy is a page tuning beast of a good story. Characters are relate-able and rich in individuality, and the story is imaginative and well woven. Fun, Fun in the Ansalon Sun!

Five Stars

Great story.

Was it magical for you like it was for me?

Oh, those silly mages are at it again.

One wants to destroy magic. One wants to defend magic. And one is magic. Sort of.

But the book lacks any real quantity of kender. We need some Tas!

Read this book. If you've read the first two. The story lines are great, the character development is decent, and the plot is steady. No dull points in this one.

A very nice ending, but sad too

Ms kickoff certainly does it again!! She describes the surroundings with so many wonderful adjectives and makes them tell a beautiful story.

How will the world of Krynn survive without magic?

Lyim Rhistadt returns from his supposed death with a vendetta against the fabric of magic itself. His schemes to kill all magic users as well as dissolve all magic are almost successful were it not for the great heroism and sacrifices of the family DiThon.

A compelling sequel

I love this series! Dun Lady's Jess took me into a world of magic and strong, complex characters. I was sorry to see the book end. Changespell did not disappoint. Jess, Carey, Dayna, Jaime, Arlen and others are further developed as the action sweeps forward in this thoroughly suspenseful book. Durgin is not afraid to make bad things happen to her characters or to force them to make hard choices. A compelling sequel to Dun Lady's Jess.

Second of three in a great series

Be careful! The cover of the second book is also on the third in this series on Amazon, and it is possible to read the third book before the second (since both have the same "Book II" cover). Read out of order (third book before second as I did because of the covers) takes a lot of the pleasure out of this series. Read in order, the story holds up very well after a fantastic first book in Dun's Lady Jess. What I like best is that Jess, as a human, longs to be back as Lady, her "real" horse self, and finds it perfectly natural to think and act as a horse, and yet... In this story she starts to get her human feet on the ground, so to speak.

A Fascinating Read - Lots of Action

I love The Changespell Saga. Doranna Durgin writes a great story and finds new angles to keep her characters fresh. My only complaint is that the series has to end.

I never imagined I would really enjoy a book where the main character is horse that turns into a woman. That's pretty "Mr. Ed" when you think about it. However, the alternate world and the way they live seem plausible and interesting in all of these books.

Be sure and read this series in order. The first "prequel" could be left out, but gives some interesting detail and was an enjoyable read by itself. I plan to read more of Ms. Durgin's books.

A magical story that will appeal to horse lovers, and those who enjoy sci-fi/fantasy

very enjoyable, Jess, the horse who was unexpectedly turned into a human, continues her adventures. The Author has really captured the feel of a horse struggling to think and fit into her human body. A wonderful world of magic and horses. The story can stand on its own, but it will be easier to understand if you start book 1 in the series, then I suggest you read all 4 books.

It's good, and I'll read the third

The series has an interesting premise in the horse/girl transformation (and back and forth) and the development of her character and the worlds around her. It's good, and I'll read the third: it's enjoyable, but it's not gripping in the 'I can't put it down' way.

Publisher's Summary:

In the aftermath of revolution, King Kalak of Tyr is dead and all eyes fall on the lucrative iron mines of his once mighty city-state. Merchant houses scramble to seize what scraps they can while King Hamanu of Urik, the Lion of the Desert, rallies his armies to crush the Tyr rebellion underfoot. He cannot allow this insurrection to succeed and intends to seize the citys precious resources for himself. The hope of the Tyr revolution seems destined to fail as the tyrannical specter of Hamanus war machine looms large on the horizon.

But fate chooses the most unlikely heroes. Loren, a gladiator pressed into service by a corrupt merchant prince; the ambitious Alaeda Stel who hopes to secure her familys future by exploiting Tyrs sudden weakness; a street thief named Melech; and Korvak the disgraced templar are Tyrs best and only hope. The promise of freedom rests on their ability to overcome the greed and lust for power that threatens to undermine the principles of Tyrs revolution.

My favorite world to read!

I've read every novel (I think) regarding Dark Sun. This is one of the best. The plot moves well, and I am still holding out hope for a follow up! I wish they would write more novels about Athas/Dark Sun.

This is what Dark Sun novels should be like.

This is my favorite Dark Sun novel. It captures the brutality of the world perfectly, featuring gladiator henchman, slavery, merchant caravans, poisoned oases, dune raiders, cannibal halflings, defiler magic, heroics, betrayals, and exceptionally horrid monsters. I loved it.

The undead come to Tyr

A great read. This set of characters is one of my favorite from Darksun. Action packed from the beginning of the book!

Average

Although it was nice to get a little more story on what has been happening in Tyr since Kalak's death, some of the characters are weak and the story is a little underdeveloped.

I read a lot of books

Most of the Forgotten Realms or D&D books I read are the same in that they are fine and good for passing the time. I find it's necessary to know all the background info in order to understand the next book that comes out. It was good, but nothing really exciting.

Members Reviews:

great read

great read, I love all of the stories of the DWARVES. There strong wills and loyalty is a treasureable feature worthy of praise.

Finally something about dwarves!

Not many in-print Dragonlance books are on the race of subterranean dwelling dwarves, and Dark Thane is the latest. The half-blooded king Tarn Bellowgranite gains a new political and personal enemy, surprisingly the Hylar thane. Contrary to all preconceptions of the Hylar, this disfigured, exceedingly ambitious, and more than a little neurotic usurper, plans on slaying Tarn and taking the throne for himself.

The flow of the book is generally pretty smooth, but there were a few unfinished storylines that may leave a reader unsatisfied. The ending was also a bit unconclusive, either a way of enticing a reader to buy a sequel, if there is one, or just plain, poor writing.

If you are into mystery and intrigue, Dark Thane is definitely for you, as it is chock full of political unrest, backstabbing and assassinations, and manipulation. There are few hack and slash battles, especially considering that we are dealing with a bunch of disgruntled dwarven leaders bent on wiping out entire clans.

There were a few inconsistencies in the book that a reader might find strange. First of all was for the Hylar thane, supposedly leader of the dwarves of light, to so readily turn to darkness for power. Another thing was the final decision that Tarn made, a choice between his people and something precious to him, and rather choose his people in the classic self-sacrificing Dragonlance spirit, he selfishly thought only of himself and chose the object important to him.

Readers new to the world of Dragonlance might want to try the Chronicles and Chaos War series first, as this book may leave him or her confused with its numerous historic references. If you liked Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home, you will like this book with its insightful look to dwarven festivities, culture, and traditions. To the connoisseur, especially if he or she enjoyed The Last Thane or Conundrum, this is also must have. Jeff Crook once again uses a powerful dark tone to narrate the turmoil that takes place underground in Krynn, making perhaps his most masterful piece yet.

-Steve

Not as good as The Last Thane

The first part deals with the events immediately following DOALS with Tarn having to report the disaster at Qualinesti to the council, some of whom are looking to use his defeat for reason to dethrone him, ending in Thorbardin once again being sealed off from the world.

The second part picks up almost a year after the WOS has ended, although they don't know it, with Tarn's enemies getting ready to overthrow him & the discovery of a leftover Chaos dragon.

Wonderful books.

Great series.

Great book!

Great series of science fiction. I would highly recommend this series to all sci-fi lovers. What an imagination do come up with a new world and the problems involved.

One of the best series ever!

You will be hard pressed to find a more original tale of fantasy.

That was back in 1984, the genre was already one big cliché.

It is amazing that this remarkable series still stands out as an original piece of work. The author keeps all the elements of fantasy but uses them in such a new way that you will have a hard time putting this book down! The more you read, the more original it gets!

This is the correct order of the books:

' The River of Dancing Gods, Del Rey, 1984 (ISBN 0-345-30892-1)

' Demons of the Dancing Gods, Del Rey, 1984 (ISBN 0-345-30893-X)

' Vengeance of the Dancing Gods, Del Rey, July, 1985 (ISBN 0-345-31549-9)

' Songs of the Dancing Gods, Del Rey, August, 1990 (ISBN 0-345-34799-4)

' Horrors of the Dancing Gods, 1994 (ISBN 0-345-37692-7)

You will not regret picking this up, especially if you are about to drop the genre because you just can't stand reading the same stories over and over.

On the ancient plains of Krynn arise new perils.

The village of Yala-tene is flourishing. Twelve years of peace and plenty have allowed the little settlement to grow into a thriving town.

Against this array of evil, Chief Amero and the bronze dragon Duranix strive to hold the fragile threads of civilization together.

Best-selling writing team Thompson and Cook return to the world of Dragonlance in the second book of the epic Barbarians trilogy.

A Good Ride!

This is the second book in "The Barbarians" series, but it is better than the first! Surprises abound. Yala-tene is in grave danger, but Duranix is pursuing Sthenn across the globe. Amero fights to hold the village together, and Karada has to fight both the curse AND old enemies. Housework lay undone while I sped to the end of the book....only it is not really the end of the saga, just a good respite before I launch into the rest of the story.

great fantasy books

excellent. book in perfect shape. delivery very much on time. i have many books in this series and will be buying more to complete it. a very good read.

A boy grows into a man

The continuation of the saga of Amero and Duranix once again kept me wanting to know more and more and really brought their relationship together. Once again it was very hard to put the book down!

Great Series

I love everything Dragon Lance. Takes a little bit to get through the first few chapters but picks up from there.

Good follow up but not great.

I absolutely loved the first book in this series "The Children of the Plains" and my excitement carried on over to this book. Therefore, I don't know if I am being too harsh on second novel in the series because it didn't match my expectation due to my opinion of the first, or if I am attributing more credit to it because of its relationship to the first. However, two things need to be touched upon that set it apart from the first book, and both issues being negative. First, the story took on a two tiered storyline, following two stories at once like the first book, but this time Amero has already settled and his conflict didn't seem to arise until much later and Beramun was not nearly as exciting as Nianki. In fact, she was kind of like a poor man's Nianki. Although heroic, she just didn't match up to the heroine of volume one. Second was the emotional decisions of Tiphan. The death of his acolytes and his father and his reaction towards them, separated himself from humanity almost entirely. The human tone was the strength of the first story, every character was identifable. With that said, this story did have many redeemable features. The character development of "sub-plot" characters was a welcomed addition. From Lyopi to Mara to Konza each character was given a heartbeat and a drive, something that can be lost, especially in a book that features dragons. With Amero being my favorite character out of the siblings, it was unexpected how badly I would miss Nianki's presence in this book.

Better than the first

Didn't like the narrator in the first book. I guess she grows on you. So better than the first

Why do the have to be Irish?

Her voices are done in thick Irish and English accents.. Why? She could be done better without the weird accent.

Publisher's Summary:

Mistress of the Night is the second title in this Forgotten Realms novel series that focuses specifically on priests, the popular D&D iconic class also known as clerics. Each title chronicles priests loyal to a different deity in the Forgotten Realms pantheon. Like the preceding series, The Rogues, each novel in The Priests series is written as a stand-alone adventure, allowing new listeners an easy entry point into the Forgotten Realms world.

Very Good

Gross and Bassingthwaite bring us a very entertaining story about eternal struggle between Selune and her dark sister Shar, this time taking root in Sembian city of Yhauun. Although the book was written by two authors, they complement each other masterfully, and you can't really tell which part was written by which author.

This book delivers a lot of details on Selune's and Shar's clergy rituals, rites and hierarchy. I expected much more of that in other "Priests" books, but only "Maiden of Pain" delivered, to some extent. The characters, and especially Keph (one of two main characters), are fairly interesting. I only wished for more insight into Feena's (the other main character) past. The plot is solid but nothing of breathtaking or truly memorable. The pace of the book is at a slower side, just the way I like novels to be, so the authors could delve into detail a bit deeper. The authors describe the setting beautifully, giving you a rich picture of Yhauun and its major landmarks. The writing styles, and especially dialogues, are fluid and rich.

I have no major complains about this novel. To put is in short, it is a combination of good characters and even better writing style standing on a solid plot. Make sure to read it.

As for the "Priests" series as a whole, I was very pleasantly surprised before I read "Lady of Poison". That book is so badly written that I can't believe it even got published. "Queen of Depths" is an average FR novel, classic Byers I would say. This book and "Maiden of Pain" are in my opinion true jewels of the series. The series got an average of 3.25 stars from me, which is above average. If only not for that "Lady of Poison"...

Moments of Brilliance... and mediocrity

This is a tough book to peg. One good thing is it's unique enough of a story that it certainly wasn't bland.

Feena is a werewolf and priestess of Selune, who returns to the temple in yhuann where a Sharran cult is emerging. A local wizards' son is recruited to the Sharran cult, and is instrumental in their plans to recover an ancient artifact as well as in the ongoing conflict between Shar and Selune.

There are parts in the story where it drags a bit. There are also parts where it's exciting and intriguing. With a tad bit more polish, this probably could have been among the best FR books ever. Despite a 3 star rating, I would still recommend it, because it is unique enough that others may enjoy it.

Three Stars

Good plot and good characters.

Five Stars

An excellent series to read.

Broken and missing chapters

I would have loved this book had it not been for some missing chapters somewhere around 13 through 15.

Great story though and the narrator is
