A review by ithlilian
Mistress of Dragons by Margaret Weis

1.0

I didn't like this book. It's not because of the lesbianism and it's not because of the non-unique plot. I was actually really enjoying myself for the first half of the book. I couldn't wait to find out who the traitor dragon was, and what was going to happen in the monastery, and how long it would take the king to find out about the dragon man. Unfortunately, it turned into a story about a whiny irritating woman and a fawning unfaithful king traveling across the country to fulfill a strange solution to the evil dragon problem. It all started when the main character's lover decided to believe a very untrustworthy character. It irritates me that someone that supposedly loves the main character will believe the crap someone makes up, just like that. It only got worse from there. The plot disintegrated and became non-plausible. Everything was pretty much hanging on traveling to the new land over the mountains to discover how the evil dragon was doing things. So when they made it there a little over halfway through the book, there wasn't much left to talk about. I loved the dragonlance series and I'm really hoping to enjoy other books written by Weis and Hickman, but so far it has not gone well (Mistress of Dragons and Well of Darkness).
