A review by mxsallybend
Dragons of Fate by Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman
4.0
This was quite good, a solid 4 stars (maybe even 4.5). I'm tempted to say it's much better than the first book, but I read that during the darkest month of a very dark year, and my feelings were likely affected by that. My displeasure with it may not have been fair.
This does focus more on the characters we know and love, though, and is a better portrayal of them (they didn't feel quite right in the first book).
Surprisingly, for a time travel story where we know what had to happen and who has to die, there's a real feel of danger, genuine tension, and deep sorrow.
There are plenty of twists along the way that set up an ending that hits hard and sets up a big finale.
