A review by nimrodiel
Darkness and Light by Paul B. Thompson

3.0

I had a hard time getting into this one. Not because of the writing, it was a fantastic dragonlance story, and the setting was great (I've always wondered about the red moon Lunitari), however I think it is because the two main characters are ones that I did't really care for much from the original trilogy. Sturm Brightblade always seemed so stuffy, and was even more so in this book. I did enjoy reading how he found his father's armor and legacy. Kitiara I had trouble believing. Most likely because I'm so used to her after she becomes a leader of the dragon queen's army and on the side of evil. Here she was not the girl who left Solace to look for her father and his people, but well on her way to turning down the path of evil.

The book was enjoyable, though not the best Dragonlance tale I've read... Now to dig up the next book in the Preludes trilogy!
