Dragons of Spring Dawning: Chronicles, Volume Three by Margaret Weis
4.0
As I remembered from my first reading many years ago this was by far the worst of the trilogy. It was still good but not great like the first two. The first half of the novel was easily a 5/5, but the second half was 3/5. Overall it’s a 4/5.
The second half gave me the feeling it was rushed but at the same time it dragged on and on. I know those are two things not usually used to describe the same novel but it was what I felt. I think this odd feeling came from the fact that the authors telegraphed the ending so early. I knew exactly how this was going to end early in the second half and that was exactly how it ended so it felt very anticlimactic. While this is not a bad thing it did make the story seem like it’s dragging. It was still an excellent novel that I’d recommend to any lover of fantasy.
