It has been a few years since I have last read a Dragonlance book. Boy did it feel great. Although it took me a lil bit to remember the exact details of the War of Souls and various characters but that easily was fixed. This was a great page turner and it was interesting to see a darker and more human novel. I loved how human the gods feel, it felt like something out of greek mythology. I cannot wait to read the rest!

I was compelled by the storyline and the characters. I was pullng for the protagonist, although she was not entirely a good character...at all.

lots of mention of people sleeping with other people. lots of vampiric activity (they're basically soul-suckers). i'm still decidin gif i want to read the next one.

In the War of Souls, I never liked Mina, maybe because the readers never really got to know her. We only ever saw her from other character's point of view. We finally get a chance to know who Mina really is in this book, and she is not bad, just easily manipulated and power-hungry. But I find that I do like this character more now, even though she is following another evil god.

Rhys is also an very interesting character that I instantly liked. His struggle to support his god, and then being forced to work for another, created a feeling of impending doom for this character.

To lighten the mood, Margaret Weis introduced a new kender in the world of DragonLance. Nightshade is a nightstalker and can communicate with the dead. He is not a good thief and is related to Tasselhoff Burrfoot (my favorite character in all of DragonLance). Together they form and unlikely duo to fight the evil of Chemosh.

Amber and Ashes is the best book Margaret Weis has ever written. I could not stop reading it and can't wait to see what happened next.

I rated this book a 9 out of 10.

It is nice to come back to the Dragonlance universe that I really loved as a young adult. Weis’ writing is not challenging but it is entertaining weaving together good mythology along with some spots of humor and occasional plot mysteries to keep you turning the page. One of the main protagonists - Mina - is a pretty awful character though. I wish the book focused less on her.

I listened to the audio as a reread before I start the next book. I really enjoyed it.

Loved it

Great read loved the subject matter and the characters kept me up late several nights had to see what happens next

Absolutely amazing book

Great pick back up to this series. Just outstanding and pleasant to read front to back.
Story and book and characters all spectacular just lots of misspellings and errored English throughout. Editing needs quote a bit of review.
Overall great book.

Love this too... I just love Margaret Weis work!!!

Rhys and Nightshade. Also, I think I liked the other Mina better.

I dived straight into this trilogy post War of Souls because I suspected it would be quite different and I'm keen now to push to the endpoint of the saga (although a series spanning 150+ books can't really be called a saga), and I wasn't wrong, this couldn't be further in tone and style from the previous trilogy. Whereas WoS tried very much for weight and character development, this is much more of a light hearted romp taking Greek myth and legend as a greater influence, attempting, as it does, to tell a story far more focussed on the world as the God's playground, them bickering amongst themselves and directly interacting with mortals for their own ends.

It's a comparatively short trip and by the end of it I just about felt introduced to the main players, one we already know, Mina and Rhys the cleric of Majere and Nightwish, another hilarious Kender who adds to the huge sense of fun here. Because fun it is ... certainly, it's all a little too silly to recommend as essential but I'm the kind of guy who enjoys scenes of playing chess with a Death Knight who stipulates he'll break a bone every time you lose a piece. However, the overall schema of this remains unclear so for now I can only state it's a promising start to what's going to be another enjoyable, albeit frivolous entry into the Dragonlance canon, one that's sure to infuriate fans of the original books but delight anyone who is still on board with any and every happening in the world of Krynn.

Good one!
