The Survivors by Dan Willis
Did not finish book. Stopped at 39%.
Is this the worst Dragonlance book I've ever read? No, definitely not. But man, I just could *not* get into it. An absolute slough.
I'm also super confused about how there are so many dwarves that didn't believe in the gods that the entire first third of the book is about religious persecution when the story took place before the Cataclysm. When the gods communicated directly with people, and when they were at their most prominent across the land. Like, in pre-Cataclysm Krynn, knowing the gods existed wasn't a matter of belief, it was a matter of fact. They even had clerics/priests?
Just a really weird disregard of established lore to set up the plot of half the book.
