Continúa esta trilogía con una historia ciertamente desconcertante en torno a las luchas entre los dioses y con Mina como elemento catalizador de las mismas. No termino de encontrarle la gracia a esta trilogía, ni siquiera vislumbro ni la sombra de lo que fue Mina en La Guerra de los Espíritus. Sinceramente, me está resultando bastante decepcionante, sobre todo el camino que parece seguir y que no adelanto en esta crónica por no hacer spoiler a nadie (si es que alguien lee esto; que lo escribo más para mi que para otros...). Voy a terminar la saga porque reconozco que me intriga y porque soy adicta a la Dragonlance, pero reconozco que, de seguir por estos derroteros, quizá haya llegado el momento de decirle adiós. Es un universo fascinante, pero todo tiene un límite!
amazing trilogy, truly gripping and its getting more complicated as it goes along, the beloved of chemosh are as horrible as mina is and they are becoming ever more numerous and now all the gods are becoming interested in mina to say the least!! what is the grip mina has on gods and humans alike?? hate the only way the beloved can be killed, its chilling but no spoilers!!
Nightshade and Rhys are among the best characters in all of Dragonlance. The "big reveal" of the 2nd book is great. And the whole concept about a true mayhem between the gods and bringing all of them to the front had a lot of promise. Halfway in this book though, you can clearly see the quality and pacing drop a lot.
So much promise, it could have been so much more, especially with all of the interesting ideas and concepts within it.
I had the notion that the second instalment in any series is always the worst of the bunch, and this is based on experience. But I actually enjoyed this more than the first book, and that's saying much as I really loved the first book.
These Dragonlance books are like comfort food though this is not the best of them by any means. I really like the monk character Rhys along with his two traveling companions (Atta his dog and Nightstalker the Kender). But most sections of the book with other characters, including the other main character, Mina drag a bit. Just like Book 1 I wish there was less focus on her (even though that is impossible as she drives the story).
I liked this entry better than I did its predecessor. The author didn't have to take the time to set up the story and thus was able to dive right in (and I mean dive right in. It would be a good idea to read this book immediately after reading the first one). As in the first entry, the pov is spread amonst the characters for a more equal and interesting read. Be forewarned, though, it ends on a cliff-hanger.
