poisonenvy's review against another edition
3.0
And with that, I'm finally done with the Preludes series.
It was fine, I guess. Flint wasn't entirely in character, which isn't surprising given that no one really was in these. It's nice that this at least connected to the events that happen in Chronicles. I have to wonder how Flint knew more about the creature in the beast pit than the female dwarf who actually lived in the mountain with it, but whatever. Unlike the other Preludes, I didn't notice any major consistency issues with The Chronicles (not that it's impossible that they were there, I just didn't notice them.)
Competent writing (even if there were a few poorly written lines and exchanges like "he crushed her moist, parted lips in a kiss that was rooted in his soul."), a decent plot that didn't make me roll my eyes (except for how Super Evil the main bad guy was).
Still,boy, am I ever glad to finally have the Preludes out of the way.

Gully Dwarves and Flint. Not the best combination, but if you're a die-hard fan of the Dragonlance world, as I was, you'll give this a read and enjoy it well enough. It's a Preludes book, telling the tale of what Flint did prior to the Chronicles and Legends series.
