The war for Krynn continues. There are a few familiar characters from the original trilogy, mostly elves due to their very long lives, but this is mainly about a new group of heroes and how they make their way in a Krynn that is vastly changed. Very much in the original style, a little drawn out, but still excellent. (

Lost Star, the second in the War of the Souls trilogy entertains from start to end. There's plenty of suspense, a little intrigue and a killer finale, something that usually lacks in the middle part of trilogies. The characters, already well established from the first entry continue to fight for survival, Weis & Hickman show no fear in making the lives of our heroes uncomfortable and miserable. The tone of Lost Star is dark, making for a great third book in which the good fight must come to an end. Lots of small encounters keep up the pace although there is a fair amount of padding at times. Definitely worth reading, thankfully the authors have offered more than just as a tease to the final book. (

Weis and Hickman continue their tradition of writing engaging fantasy novels that keep the reader interested. Evil forces are taking over Ansalon in force. The elves are getting destroyed, as are all the other good forces. Dragon overlords and their armies are moving across the land, while Mina and the One God continue to conquer everything they touch.

The book, however, does seem to have a slow takeoff, despite the interesting storyline. Chapter 30 of this book is entitled "The War of Souls Begins." So the first book in the series, as well as the first 29 chapters of this book are 'background' material. Probably too much time getting ready for the real War of Souls, in my opinion. (

Loved it. Things really start to heat up and some questions start to get answered. I knew I wasn't liking the One God. Can't wait to finish this trilogy.

Fantasy. Fiction. HTML:New York Times bestseller: Amidst the chaos of the War of Souls, a band of brave and selfless heroes struggles against an immortal power

Crying the praises of the One God, a mystical young woman named Mina has appeared out of a magical storm and overrun the land with her army of dark-armored knights. The elven land of Silvanesti has fallen prey to their might. The young elf king has fallen prey to Mina�s amber eyes.

Meanwhile, the great dragon overlord Beryl launches an attack against the people living under her rule. As her dragonarmy swarms the Citadel of Light, Palin and Tasslehoff are forced to flee and are rescued only by the interference of a mysterious person from their past. The elves of Qualinesti must choose between exile from their beloved homeland or death by a dragon�s wrath. Even Goldmoon leaves her people, compelled to follow a growing river of souls that flows northward to a dark and dreaded land.

It seems no one can stand against the powerful and relentless entity guiding the devastating events on Krynn. At last, one lone dragon seeks out an old enemy, vowing at any cost to find the answers to the mystery that is the One God.
