Editorial Review of Fistandantilus Reborn (Dragonlance Lost Legends, Vol. 2)
A Lost Gods Book
Emilo Haversack is unusually worried for a kender -- though he can't for the life of him remember what his problem is. Still, he's been wandering across Ansalon for quite some time, trying to remember what's wrong. All he can recall is the name of a very evil, very dead wizard . . . Fistandantilus.
Joined by a young kendermaid, a human lad, and a devout, if somewhat naive priest, Emilo is drawn into a mysterious quest. As he draws closer to the secret of his past, he and his friends find themselves caught in an increasingly sinister web of intrigue.
And as the conclusion of the adventure approaches, the companions learn that their pourpose is one that could catapult them from Krynn -- and forever change the destiny of the world they leave behind.

Review Summary: Book o.k. if you're curious about Fistandantilus
Review: This book was rather slow at first, then midway through it got pretty interesting. It has little to do with Raistlin, I guess Niles was trying to explain how Fistandantilus made his way to the future as a spirit, the spirit that eventually turns Raistlin into what he is in the Chronicles Trilogy. Though the book was at times hard to follow, it explained well how Fistandantilus crossed the barriers of time, but it fell short of explaining how Fistandantilus wound up in the Tower of High Sorcery at Wayreth as some sort of spirit.

Review Summary: This book was excruciatingly awful. Save yourselves!
Review: When I first found this book in the bookstore, I had high hopes that it would be good, and bought it immediately. Rarely, have I been so terribly wrong about a book. It was terrible, the characters were barely developed, the Kender was a Kender in name only and didn't seem or act like one at all, Fistandantilus was portrayed as kind of a wimpy crybaby, Raistlin was barely mentioned, and the entire book seemed to be bereft of interesting dialog. In fact, what little dialog there was, was mostly B movie quality dialog, along the lines of, "Hey, we need to go over there."
"OK, lets go over there."
"Gee, I like this place, lets stay for a while."
"OK, lets stay for a while."
In other words, it was boring, tedious, drawn out, and had absolutely no point. In fact, it was even more boring to read than my review of it.

Review Summary: Very poor character development
Review: This book has good elements contained within. Ever wonder what becomes of Fistandantilus after the Legends trilogy? but unfortunatly i was still left not understanding much about this book. A lot of the main characters were underdeveloped and it just kind of left me feeling unfulfilled after it was over. I wouldnt suggest this book unless your a BIG dragonlance fan

Review Summary: Not exactly what I was hoping for...
Review: Fistandantilus. One of the most powerful Black Robes in the history of Krynn. The true Master of the Past and the Present. I thought when I bought this book it would have alot of action, centering around him. Well I was wrong. This story is centering around his attempts to be reborn, and chronciles others' lives in the process. If you are looking for a story featuring a powerful wizard, look elsewhere, or maybe the last chapter or so. *shrug*

Review Summary: Douglas Niles does it again..
Review: I've read just about every single Dragon Lance book ever released, but I must say Fistandantilus Reborn outdoes them all. This book is spectacular, it's even better than 'Kagonesti : A Story of the Wild Elves' and 'Tales of Uncle Trapspringer', it might not be quite as good as 'The Gully Dwarves' but hey!....what is? The thickness of the plot and the symbolism in this book is simply phenomenal. This masterpiece is in short, without spoiling anything, the story of a young mages journey from insecure boy to one of the most evil and powerful beings in the history of Kryn. An absolute must-read!

I recommend this book if you're a DL fan and want to know more about Fistandantilus.
