Bones of the Dragon: A Dragonships of Vindras Novel Audiobook

" Having been a long time fan of Dragonlance novels by both Weis and Hickman, I will have to say I was rather disappointed by this book. There was so much potential at the beginning with the novel with the declaration of "Your gods are dead". The protagonist Skylan was at first portrayed as a self centered ass which I quite detested to be honest. However, with a character like him, it is foreseen that he can undergo lots of character development but as the book progressed I found that I disliked him more and more. Many things were also quite predictable which took away from the novel. One thing that I did enjoy was how Weis and Hickman used the concept of Vikings and incorporated magic, dragons and gods. The setting of the story is well constructed and I sincerely hope the next book will be less of a dissapointment. "

" I'd give this a 3+, or a 4-. It was a very enjoyable high fantasy read with a Norse mythology feel to it. However it was not overly memorable and I will likely forget most of the story in a matter of months. Still, for those who enjoy fantasy I'd recommend it. I'll probably try to find book 2 one of these days. "

" This book was given to me by my friend's dad since he purchased two of them by mistake. Overall, it was an alright book, but I just wasn't real thrilled with the main character, Skylan. There were so many other characters that would have been better to use than him. I will probably try and finish the series, but it's not like I'm dying to read the next book anytime soon. "

" An amazing story that draws you in from the beginning. The main character starts out as an arrogant jerk, but by the end you can see him being forged into a more wise leader. "

" It's good writing, and I was enjoying Weis/Hickman but after the first book, I realized that I didn't like the protagonist and I didn't even like the secondary characters. Why would I read a book where I didn't like any of the characters? So I stopped reading about halfway through the 2nd book. "

" I've added a comment to Rupert's review. "

" This was a well written begining to what might become as clever and amazing as there original Dragonlance series. The character are phenomenal and the story unique. Mergaret Weis does it again...and I just hope there are more in this eries to come. "

" Good book - lots of details - sometimes too much. "

" The storyline is an interesting one, and I enjoy the characters for the most part. The culture and personality of this group of people also seems realistic, however because of this I wouldn't aloow any teenagers to read. "

" I won't be following this series. Bsfore I was half way through I wanted *ALL* the lying self center stupid people and gods to die. "

" I'd have to say it was a good idea, but I though the book was just too trashy. Not a huge fan. "

" I wanted to like this book. I love Weis/Hickman books. The use of slang and foul language ruined the ambiance of the story. You may call me a prude, yes, but I was not impressed. "

" I kept waiting to discover that some god had once again stolen the world. Gave up about 1/3 of the way into it. It felt like a bad mashup of Zelda and Dragonlance. "

" at the start of the book i didn't like the main character---kept reading hoping he would grow up---ended up liking the book worth reading for fantasy fans "

" It was a good read but seemed to packed with plot and not enough character development. But interesting enough to read the next in the series. "

" BAH! A wonderful story written SO poorly it made me bash myself over the head with the book. My cat could have done a better job writing this. "

" As always Weis & Hickman are good again! "

" Ack, when does the next one come out! "
