alongside his proud race in the terrible Kinslayer Wars. But when
the historic Swordsheath Scroll is signed, Kith-Kanan and his followers
are forced into a tragic exile.
Review:
Whereas Volume 1, Firstborn, didn't have much fighting, this volume
makes up for it through very descriptive battle sequences, especially
the strategic positioning of the armies. Since this is one of the
few Dragonlance books with large scale warfare, I must give credit to
the Douglas Niles for making it very interesting. On the character
development side, Kith-Kanan's inner turmoil was another focus throughout
the book, which was quite interesting.
Rating: 7/10.
