A review by davidlz1
Amber and Ashes by Margaret Weis

3.0

It has been some time since I last visited the world of Dragonlance. So, it was nice to return to the world of Krynn. Since it has been so long, I do not recall a lot of details from the series (yes, I've read all the pertinent novels leading to this series). Ms. Weis does a decent job of 'reminding' the reader of key details from the past novels. This story is a bit different in that the main character does not have a large part in the first book. It is almost as if Mina begins the story but is not the main focus. One of the things I really like about this story-line is that Ms. Weis focuses on the gods. Rarely do we as readers ever get to find out what those omnipotent beings are thinking. And, oddly enough, these omnipotent beings are not quite so omnipotent. The series explores the interrelationship between mortal and god and why one needs the other more. I will say that Wizards of the Coast (formerly TSR) have some of the worst editors on the planet, apparently. That was truly annoying. But, I was willing to overlook it as it was a Dragonlance tale written written by one of the true authors of the Dragonlance universe.
