I couldn’t finish this. I found it written badly. Like everything was told, not shown. In spite of others that said the series gets better, I’ll skip them all.

Ook dit boek leest lekker weg. Is ook wel nodig als je steeds maar eventjes kunt lezen. Ik miste Alfred in dit boek, maar Zifnab is ook een geweldig karakter, zeker als hij ruzie maakt met zijn draak. Haplo krijgt steeds meer diepgang, wat het verhaal ten goede komt. Het is zo dubbel. Gevoelsmatig ben ik helemaal voor de Sartanen. Ik vind Haplo's devotie voor zijn Meester maar ongezond en hij is me te hard. En toch leef ik met hem mee, hoop ik dat hij gelukkig wordt. Maar niet als dat betekent dat zijn Meester zijn zin krijgt. Die vind ik toch echt een kwal van een vent en dat terwijl ik nog helemaal niet veel van hem weet. Nu op naar deel 3: Vuurzee.

I don't think I found the world or characters as interesting in this one, less sympathetic in general. The titans scared me as a kid, and are still an uncomfortable idea.

I liked the first book, but I thought this one was better. The characters were easier to attach myself to. I thought Zifnab and his dragon were hilarious. I liked the sense of urgency that most of the book had. It felt really fast-paced. Also, I liked learning more about the background of Haplo, and what is going on in these worlds. Definitely a winner.

Easily the worst in the series, the hurried prose is lackluster and the characters are flat and dull. It feels phoned-in and halfhearted, as well as transparently irrelevant to the rest of books. It's as though they adopted this story from some other project. Even the Dragonlance fan service crossover doesn't lift its sails.

1.5 stars. Read it quickly and move on - the series gets better again after this unfortunate lull.
