Description

Of course he did,” said Hornfel. “She admitted as much. The woman said the wizard read about it in a book from the library of Palanthas.” Destina will not be alone on her journey through the land of Krynn, a fact that was made clear in late 2021 with the reveal of Dragons of Deceit’s cover by artist Philipp Urlich. The noblewoman stands proudly in the center of the frame, flanked by none other than Tasslehoff Burrfoot — one of Dragonlance’s original Companions. To her left is a new character, a mysterious dwarf named Wolfstone from the kingdom of Thorbardin. Behind them stands the equally mysterious copper dragon named Saber. The following excerpt is set early in the book and has been lightly modified from what will appear in the final version. You realize what this means,” said Hornfel. “If the Graygem is in the Temple of the Dark Queen and the Theiwar realize they have it, they could use it to wage war on us. All of Thorbardin could be in danger.”

She claims to be the daughter of a Solamnic knight,” Hornfel grunted. “Those fools live for the opportunity to die heroes! Do you whatever you must, Wolfstone. Just get rid of the damn thing.” To her astonishment, Atieno gave a cry of horror and flung the chalice away from her. The silver cup hit the stone floor with a resounding clang and rolled beneath a chest. Take care of yourself, my friend. I’d send you off with the old blessing, ‘Reorx be with you,’ but, bless his beard, the god’s help is the last thing you need.”

Much of the book's humor derives from the fact that Destina's plan is utterly insane and incredibly ill-considered from beginning to end. It is also hypocritical as she spends a lot of the book talking about her disdain for magic and wizards while depending on a device that is unquestionably magic. The fact she chooses to involve the Graygem in this, which many book fans will know from Dragons of Summer Flame, is another layer of stupidity on a stupid sandwich. It is a good thing I finished this book last night. It gave me time to think about how to structure this review. Above all, I was very disappointed in this latest entry into the Dragonlance saga for two reasons:

Hornfel scowled, and Wolfstone feared he had angered him. But the king was reasonable, and he considered the argument. “No, I wouldn’t,” he admitted at last. “Not for all the treasure in a dragon’s horde. So what do we do? We can’t leave it there.” Sometimes a long-running series finds itself in a bind. Do you continue with a storyline that new readers might be confused by, but rewards longtime readers? Or do you tell a story that has an entry point for new readers, risking alienating returning readers who want something new (I’m thinking of the multitude of Spiderman origin stories here)?Our gravest danger is not from the Theiwar, it is from the Graygem,” said “Chaos is trapped inside, and it has the power to bring down the mountain.” Si può considerare un personaggio quasi grigio perché ad un certo punto inizia a mettere a repentaglio tutti i rapporti che ha creato con chi le sta vicino. I just finished listening to the audiobook and overall the novel was fine. As others have said, the time travel stuff is getting a bit old by this point, and I could have done without so much more Tasslehoff. She dipped her index finger into the chalice and ran it around the inside. The dragon disappeared, staining her finger red. Destina lifted her finger to show her mother. Mama, you are frightening me,” said Destina. “I saw the shape of a dragon. These are nothing but lees, the dregs, dead yeast. Here, I will show you!”

Wolfstone was silent a moment, not wanting to have refused his king’s command. But in this instance, he had no choice. As a final comment, I’m always dubious about time travel stories as they tend to feel like a cop-out. But the ending of this was so gloriously bonkers that I guess we’ll have to see!Though most of the side characters were duds, I did like Dalamar the elven wizard, and Wolfstone the dwarf. I don’t think they were particularly well written, but they were more palatable than the rest. It was really a shame that Wolfstone wasn’t more prominent. Plus, Wizards of the Coast has allowed the use of the classic Dragonlance logo with the word “classic” added at the top! Per tutto il tempo ho avuto ben in mente l’immagine precisa delle battaglie, dei luoghi e delle creature come se stessi guardando un film. Two forces existed at the beginning of time: the High God and Chaos. Reorx trapped Chaos in the gem, and now that gem is in our mountain. Forgive me, sire, but I won’t touch the accursed thing any more than I would spit at the High God.” Wolfstone fixed Hornfel with a grim look. “Would you, sire?” The Dragonlance Chronicles began with D&D’s original publisher TSR in 1984, with Dragons of Autumn Twilight. It introduced fans to the world of Krynn, and characters such as Tanis Half-Elven, Raistlin, Flint Fireforge, and Goldmoon. The original trilogy also included the novels Dragons of Winter Night and Dragons of Spring Dawning. The Dragonlance franchise also included numerous tabletop role-playing adventures that were designed and published contemporaneously. The world of Krynn and its characters have since made cameos in many D&D publications, including recent game books for 5th edition.

REVIEW: Dragons of Deceit: Dragonlance Destinies: Volume 1 - CBR

Gregory joined them, bearing a wooden box containing his gift. He grew more cheerful, as he always did when he was in his wife’s presence. He kissed her and wished her joy of the day she had given him his daughter, his happiness.Anyway, Destina Rosethorn, my one complaint being her name sounds like it came from Harry Potter fanfic, is a young Solamnic Knight's daughter during the War of the Lance. Her father doesn't believe in the gods, but her mother does. After a series of unfortunate events result in Destina losing her father, castle, fiance, and self-respect, she proceeds to hatch upon a plan to use the Device of Time Journeying ot save her father from death at the High Clerist's Tower. Lastly, the main character is so annoying and wishy washy. The way her personhood is described in the beginning seems to fly in the face of her actions at the end. It was frustrating. Not to mention Tas being a large part of the book. He always makes me anxious and frustrated.
