Summary: The student exceeds the teacher
Comment: I'd come close to giving up on Dragonlance after finishing the last trilogy from Weiss and Hickman.
I'm glad to say that this trilogy has restored my faith. Sacred Fire is the best work Pierson has done to date, and he managed it within a story where the ending was already known! Shades of Titanic; cranking up the suspense and excitement of the story in this context took some real creativity.
Watching the world fall apart was like a slow motion train wreck, cringe-inducing clockwork physics with a sense of being helplessness. You wanted to yell at the characters so they'd do the right thing!
Things also tied together in clever and subtle ways. I need to go back and reread the trilogy to see what I missed.
This was a great read -- highly recommended. My fervent hope is that it launches Pierson into being able to publish works in his own worlds. If he can write like this within the well-explored confines of the Dragonlance universe, I'm hopeful we'll see even more when he's freed!

Summary: Very thrilling right down to the end!
Comment: What a great way of writing about the downfall of Ishtar! I definatly recomend reading the War of the Souls Trilogy before this one. It makes it that much more exciting because you will kind of know what is going to happen in a round about way, but the events still take you totally by suprise and the great details really bring you into the plot and setting.
The ending was unexspected, but exspected also in a way, and great! You can finish the book, and not feel like you were cheated at the end.
I have to say, that by far this is the best DragonLance trilogy I have read! And I have over 45 of the DL books total.

Summary: Fitting end to a Fantastic Trilogy
Comment: Having chewed this book up in a day and a half, which is a real rarity for me these days, I have to recommend it to everyone if they love DL. I am a bit biased mind you, as an anthropology/ancient studies grad and sometimes dragonlance author too.
If you really want to get a sense of what was lost in the first Cataclysm, learn more about the culture and heights that were attained, the psychology of the kingpriest and his followers, this is the series for you.
The story itself is great as well- the characters are compelling, they age and change over the series' forty year span, and the story is a very well thought out example of the Campbell mythic structure.
Congrats to Chris Pierson from a fellow Canuck and fantasy fan. Can't wait to see whats next from him!
