Cyrsania, high priestess of the Temple of Paladine, is blind to the beauty of the world but not to the joy of her faith. Lately, though, her communion with the god of light has become distant. Now a mysterious stone has come into her possession. Its power compels her to undertake a merilous quest, accompanied by a strange band of companions.
Together they endure the burning heat of Kyrnn's most violet summer as they struggle toward their destination: the Temple at Neraka.
If they reach it, their world will be transformed forever.
This novel, set in the time of the Chaos War, brings to life the story of Crysania, a Revered Daughter of Paladine, and Dalamar, the dark elf.
Tears of the Night Sky Serious and religious, this story tells about the Cleric of Paladin Crysania. Crysania is very devoted to her god, so when she find out that he may be in trouble, at the suggestion of Dalamar the Dark Elf, she goes on a quest to find the five dragon stones - magical stones that allow one to communicate with a god (among other things). Two of these stones appeared to Dalamar, and the last three are in a place so terrible it is not in her liking to go there. But this blind Cleric will do almost anything to save her god and bring him back to her.
If you're an avid Dragonlance fan, this is a good read, but otherwise I recommend pursuing better Dragonlance books (anything by M. Weis and T. Hickman, Douglas Niles, D. Perrin, or Michael Williams)
I can't believe it... This book is so,well there are no words to describe it but i could say stupid,crappy,dumb....I didn't read the whole thing (and i'm glad because i'm going to return it.) just the ending and its really stupid. Whoever likes Crysania/Raistlin (i'm one of them) DON'T read this book its a real dissapiontment, as for people who don't they'll enjoy it i'm sure.But i think that all dragonlance fans probably do like them so i would reccommed everyone not to read it. When i was buying this book i read a few reviews and some of them said its stupid and that they wasted their money i didn't believe them but now i wholeheartedly agree with them...... I wish i never read the ending and i deeply regret buying it.
Hella Good I have not read the "Legends" or "Chronicles" series, so I was kinda concerned when I picked this one up. I was not let down. I have read other works by Nancy Berberick, .... So this one had me worried. But I loved it. It really brought out how crysania was blessed by Paladine, and what she was able to see, despite her being blind.
I really liked "Tandar", and the relationship she was able to have with him, though I think the ending was a bit rushed, still, I found this book a page turner, I looked forward to reading it everyday. I also really got into how much Valin loved Crysania, despite her past, despite her dealings with Dalamar, who before this book I had never heard of, but, now I will be reading Both Legends,and Chronicles. This book took the #2 alltime favorite book spot of mine, In short, Read this book!
Almost worth 4 stars!! While this book is mainly about Crysania, Dalamar steals the spotlight. Their light sparring is intriguing & fun. There other characters are interesting too. I just feel there was that missing something that could've made it better.
Suprisingly entertaining I wasn't too sure about this book when I first started it. I wasnt going to read it cause it got some bad reviews on here and on other pages. I even thought this book would be sort of a "chick flick", if you will excuse the cliche. But as I read this book, I actually found myself liking it, and not being able to put it down.
The book starts out a little slow. It takes place during the War against Chaos, during the same time as "Dragons of Summer Flame" was set. Crysania decides to embark on a quest to find out why the gods are so distant lately. She must find some powerful artifacts in order to do this. She is accompanied by a group of adventurers that pledge to keep her safe on her journey. Also, Dalamar plays a part in this story. He is the one that shows Crysania what must be done in order for her to reach her goals. He also has his hands in other things in this story, but I won't spoil it. Read and find out.
While some of the chapters in this book might not have been neccessary. This books maintains a smooth and easy read all the way though. The thing that I found most entertaining was the way the authors brought together actual dialogue from "Dragons of Summer Flame" and fit them into this book just so you would know where it takes place in respect to that book. I also like the way the authors brought in Crysania's white tiger, Tandar. We learn about how she came to know the tiger, and how the tiger affects her day to day life.
The story itself is a little cheesy. But the authors do a good job explaining Crysania's fears with the coming of the War of Chaos. They also do a good job explaining what a sightless person feels and the way they interact with day to day life. The characters aren't very well rounded, and the story seems a little rushed, but all in all this book is pretty good. It is definately worth the read if you want to learn a little more about Crysania after her appearence in the "Legends Trilogy". While this book doesn't have as much action as some other Dragonlance books, I still feel that it is worth the read.
