Dragons of the Dwarven Depths

Well, I wanted to like this one, I really did. I remember the “Dragonlance” books fondly from my younger years but the truth is...it's just not that good. As others have pointed out, this tale is placed between two of the original books so it's hard to get worried for the characters...we know they're going to survive, after all.

And the thing is full of bad writing...I ran across one paragraph where the word “had” appeared in every single sentence. Added to this were a ton of editorial mistakes. Missing words and instances where a spell check “fixed” things and nobody caught it. It's almost like nobody was trying.

Will I read the other books in the series? Difficult to say. The whim may very well hit me as it did with this one. My advice to someone new to the world of Krynn would be to go back and read the original series.
