Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
The world of Krynn is ever changing, and even the gods can be taken by surprise. And if that’s true of the gods, what chance can a mere mortal have? Caught up in forces none of them could hope to face alone, a small but determined band of adventurers come together in a desperate endeavor to stop an invasion.

Mina, as enigmatic as ever, escapes imprisonment to set off on a quest that will test even her considerable will. All the while, evil spreads across the land, gaining ground with each new day. With so much at stake, with the very soul of Krynn on the line, champions must be found even in the darkest places.

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Good Read
I really enjoyed this book. The story line was smooth and the characters interesting. The books ending had me wanting to grab book 3 but, have to wait until it arrives.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - A monk, a kender, a dog, and Mina
Amber and Iron by Margaret Weis is the second volume in her trilogy The Dark Disciple. In it we continue with the story of the mysterious Mina. In this book, Mina continues with her allegiance to Chemos, the Lord of Death. We still have Rhys Mason, the monk of Majere, plus his faithful kender companion Nightshade, and their trusty dog Atta. All of the gods get involved at some point or other to greater or lesser degrees, but we spend a lot of time with Zeboim, the Goddess of the Sea, and with Nuitari and his Tower of the Blood Sea. Rhys, Nightshade, and Atta go from one perilous situation to another throughout the book as they try to learn how to stop the Beloved, the new followers of Chemosh. We also follow Mina as she tries to please Chemosh while at the same time trying to find out who she really is.

This is an enjoyable tale by Ms Weis, and I suspect you will want to move straight on to the third book in the series to see how it all ends up. Please don't read this book without reading Amber and Ashes first.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Margaret Weiss is One of the Most Brilliant Writers of All Time.
What can I say? Margaret Weiss is such a phenomenal writer it is hard to imagine any novel that would not be anything short of amazing. The vivd and highly detailed material in this book (and all her books) make it a truly magnificent piece of literature.
When I was younger I had a tough time reading, mainly because i had never found anything that I enjoyed to read. Then I stumbled upon the Dragonlance series. Margaret Weiss and Tracy hickman opened up a whole new world for me and my reading excelled far beyond that of anyone within grades of me.
I am not one to write spoilers so all i can say is that I did not want to put this book down...ever. I deprived myself of sleep, missed tv shows, skipped a meal completely entranced in the poetry of the literature. When i finished I was relieved to find out that I still had one more book in the series.
My only negative comment is the character devlopment. I am not as enthralled with these main characters as I was in the days of Raistlin and Tanis. Rhys is ok...and his inner struggles are fascinating, but there is nothing about him that makes me care about him. In fact, I remember reading about Sturm and Raistlin, Caramon and Tas and really feeling attached to them. My emotional attachment to Rhys, Nightshade, etc is really weak. What made Dragonlance so great were extremely strong characters developed beyond the extent of anything anyone expected. I think that is where the sucess of Dragonlance lies. However, in this series, so far, the characters do no compell me at all. Mina is the only one I can truly say is interesting to me. I want to find out what happens to Mina. Rhys...not so much.
Overall the book felt right to me. It was great and is proudly sitting on my shelf. However, at the same time I was looking forward to discovering a new hero to fall in love with. I didn't and that's the only complaint I have.

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - I love this Series
i hope we get to see more of Mina with Chemosh in other Dl books, I liked this Series very much it helped me with my trama after reading Breaking Dawn

M.Weis is a grt story teller, I fell in love with al of the book, and I look forward to seeing more

Thank You M. WEIS AN T.Hickman

I think S.Meyers needs to go back to school and learn a few things.
Adulatory, pedophilia, and abortion.

Bella with Jacob Black Imprinting on Bella's baby it just pushed a few of us over the edge. You just had Bella and Jacob declare their love for one another, and now what is your message on this, What was her message on this, Hay Jacob I cant give you what you want so here is my baby girl go have fun. Yes I know it I fiction, but you crossed the line with this one.

You had Edward beg for Jake to help kill his own daughter! And then impregnate her so she could have more normal babies! What were you thinking!

Sorry off topic...

We had Bella torn apart giving birth, no sex in the book but the extreme violence is ok





Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - kender ftw!
Excellent sequel. Margaret Weis is an amazing author. My only complaint is the many small spelling/grammatical errors. None are major enough to affect the read however.
