Of all the Books in the Villain series this is the best, followed closly by Black Wing. It is a great story with great characters. There is something special about this book, that I just can;t seem to put my finger on. But I can tell you this, if you like reading about the villians rise to power, you will love this one.

This was the book that got me hooked on Dragonlance. Its is very well writen. The characters are well developed and the story is very easy to follow. Even if you don't understand the Dragonlance universe. I would highly recomend this book to anyone just gettting into Fantasy.

... The very first 100 pages of this book are fantastic. Then the books takes a boring turn. The rest of the story is boring. The characters are bland, the writing is slow. At the end of the book I was waiting on what would happen next. Didn't Ariakas surround qualinesti. I wanted this covered! Instead we get a boring history of how Draconians came about stretched into over 300 pages. Skip this book!

I really enjoyed this book but there s a little thing that bothers me: Ariakas' father was killed by his own son if we refer to the Chronicles and it s not the case in this book. But I still recommend this book as it shows how Ariakas became such a powerful lord.

Obviously Ariakas is my all time favorite character in the Dragonlance novels. I have been trying to get this book for years and finally succeded (thanks to amazon). Unlike other reviews this book i thought was not boring at all. There was plenty of sword figthing, magic and love making in this book, what more can you ask for. Ok, lets be honest, evil characters are the most interesting to read about. They are unpredictable, noncaring, and will kill anyone at anytime, but will always lose at the end :( (only bad thing). For those who have read the chronicles all know how Ariakas dies, which bothers me, think about this, he was a great swordsman, can cast spells with the aid of Takhisis, has immense physical strength, commands thousands,men tremble before him. What more can you ask for. Dragon Highlord Ariakas deserves the utmost respect even if your 100% good, and i truly believe if they had to kill him off it should have been in a much more honorable way.
