artfuldanni 's review for:

Dragons of Summer Flame by Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman
1.0

It's almost as if they wrote this book to punish us all for reading this far.

Oh? You liked that character for the previous 6 books? Well, now they're dead... in a completely bland and lackluster manner. They killed off Tanis with the phrase 'and he breathed no more' or something similarly matter of fact. WHAT?

And the kids? Well, they kill off most of them as well. The ones that they left living were wet blankets who I wasn't the least bit interested in - I'll be honest, one Usha left the tower of High Sorcery in Palanthas, I started skimming her chapters. I found I didn't miss anything. And Tas is back again, but they continue to write him like an annoying, sniveling child who is more irritating than helpful... but not in that loveable kender way.

And Raistlin... oh my dear, dear Raistlin... why couldn't they have just left you at peace, like your brother's dream said you were, instead of having you play wet nurse to a wet blanket?
