Dragon lance-War of Souls vol. 1
This
story is set after the events of the “Chaos war” of a previous series. In the
beginning, the main(ish) character, Mina, appears after a huge storm sweeps
across Ansalon. She then gains the trust of the Neraka knights camped within
the valley she came from, healing the minotaur Galdar`s lost right arm and
reshaping the armor of the previous (and now deceased) commander. Later, she
increases her forces at the siege of Solace/Sharumitn/etc.,etc. I can`t say it,
blah blah blah. Via taking control of a mercenary unit hired by the Knights.
Then,
the story shows other protagonists, including the elfish princes Silvan and
Gilthas, of the nation’s Silvanesti and Qualinesti respectively. Then comes
Gerard and Tas, the Solamnic Knight who wishes for a more honorable post, and
the kender whose very existence could have caused the whole world to go out of
whack.
Overall, this was a good book, if
somewhat confusing. The multiple plots were hard to grasp altogether, and the
connections between the stories were almost nil until the ending, when TWO
characters met for the first time, and then proceeded to kick the end in the
rear to get an ending/cliff-hanger. I liked it, but it was (as I stated) hard
to add the stories together at first, so I almost always ended up following
mostly one story at any time.
