I won’t give it away but there was definitely a major “wait. No? But he’s gone swimming with his girlfriend, okay on with the story!įizban was still very Gandalf like but with a very unique spin. But, just like when Tom Bombadil sent the hobbits off on their way while singing Hey do doner boner, dingle berry ho! you couldn’t help thinking “maybe, you know, you should he have tagged along?” because he seemed like a really powerful ally. It added a touch of hope and helped move the story along. On a lighter side they threw in a not Tom Bombadil and not Goldberry romance (not-medieval-hippy romance). They even threw in a few token bad guys just so they can say you think the main antagonist is bad, Well, forget them, this dude is 10 times worse. Perhaps they were hiding in their dark citadels, formulating epic monologues to be delivered over the helpless and supine corpses of our protagonists. The bad guys are darker too, which makes you wonder where they were in the first two books if they were so evil. I guess it is supposed to make their victory feel that much sweeter. The energy is dark and depressing with a pinch of despair. It reminded me of the parts in The Lord of the Rings when they were approaching Mordor. very dark, despite the uplifting title that hints at new beginnings, new awakenings, and a new dawn.
I guess the lesson learned is don’t bring characters back from the dead in the first book of a trilogy if you’re not going to do equal opportunity resurrection.ĭragons of Spring Dawning is dark. The read didn’t quite go the way I hoped but it definitely entertained. Like I said in my last review I tore into this one hoping for a little reboot magic. I just finished Dragonlance: Return of the Green.
