Lord Soth. Dragonlance Novel: Warriors Vol. 6 (The Warriors) [Englisch] [Taschenbuch]

This was a very well written book, but the main events were all wrong. I read the author's first book of Soth - The Knight of the Black Rose and I really liked it, but that was when he was dead and the author could have him do whatever he wanted. That book was Ravenloft - this is Dragonlance. Perhaps the author was not aware that Soth was written about before, when he was alive. I know it had the letter in the beginning saying that this story might be wrong and I found out why - the main facts that (I believe) Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman said about Soth when he was living were totally left out! It started to go downhill from the point where Soth took Isolde back to the keep. That's not what happened. Soth and the elves made camp and escorted them to Palathas. (Though I'm not sure if they made it there or not.) He seduced her - NOT the other way around. Isolde was scared to death and he talked her into it. His first wife was not mentioned that much, but I don't think he loved her that much or he wouldn't have cheated on her. And I don't think he was the one who personally killed her. I got the feeling that he had one of his loyal knights kill her. And what's with all the people around in the land? There were no people that were "his" to watch over. That's why he got away with everything. There might have been a trial and his knights set him free, but there was NO mention of why he was taken to court. Also, Soth beat Isolde. Right before they got the messsage to go save Istar, she was crying and he took pity on her and they went and prayed together. I really wish he didn't beat her because elves are very beautiful creatures - but that's what it said. Now I know I haven't read the Dragonlance Series in a really long time, but I know it's wrong. Then why did I continue reading? Because it was very well written and I wanted to see if all the other events would happen correctly. The Kingpriest did not want to be a god, he wanted the gods to grant him the power to erase the evil from the land - as Huma had done hundreds of years before. The Kingpriest demanded - Huma asked politely - that's the difference. And it upset all of the gods - even the Dark Queen herself. Those elves who tried to stop him at the end, I don't know who sent them, but when Soth reflects he says "She knows me well." (Referring to the Dark Queen)- but why would she try to stop him if she was just as ticked off as the other gods? I don't know if Soth was ever a truly good man. Yet, throughout this book, Soth seems to be a good guy until the very end of the story. He still loved Korinne, yet slept with Isolde and made it seem like her fault. I am very disturbed that no one else has picked up on these "wrong events" and even though I read those stories a long time ago, I know they're wrong. It was very well written but perhaps the author did not research Dragonlance, and when he wrote "The Knight of the Black Rose" and it was the Ravenloft series, no one checked when this was printed as Dragonlance. I'm sorry if I offended anyone, but I know it's all wrong - and you can't change the facts that were already written by the two people who created the Dragonlance world - Weis and Hickman.

Wie kam es dazu, dass Lord Soth, der mächtige und von allen gefürchtete Ritter zu dem wurde das er jetzt ist? Wieso wird ihm keine Erlösung gewährt und warum kämpft er ausschließlich für die Seite des Bösen?
Dieses Buch gibt die Antworten.

Übersetzung des Klappentextes.
Einst gab es einen mächtigen Krieger, dessen Eifersucht und Vernachlässigung seiner Pflichten dazu führten, dass er alles verlor was ihm lieb war ' Seine Liebe, sein Leben, sogar seine Seele. Seine Geschichte ist ein Hinabsteigen in die Dunkelheit und ins Böse.

Sein Name war Lord Soth und dies ist seine Geschichte.

Mit Taten von großem Mut und Ritterlichkeit als ein Ritter von Solamnia hat Soth sich die höchsten Ehren des Ordens verdient. Sein Herz war rein und seine Seele anscheinend unbefleckt.

Manche behaupten, dass sein Stolz Soths Willen Gutes zu tun untergraben hat. Andere behaupten es sei die Lust und wiederum andere meinen es wäre die Gier gewesen. Nur Soth selber weiß was es war, alles, das er liebte, zu zerstören.

Um sich wieder zu rehabilitieren nahm Soth eine Aufgabe an, die der Gott Paladin ihm anbot: 'Verhindere, dass der Königspriester von Istar von den Göttern, die über Krynn wachen, Macht fordert ... und verhindere dadurch die Umwälzung.

Was weiß man nicht alles aus den vielen Büchern über Lord Soth. Ritter der Rose, Todesritter, sehr mächtig.
Dieses Buch beleuchtet den Charakter des Loren Soth mal von einer anderen Seite. Hier wird der Mensch Soth gezeigt, mit all seinen Fehlern, mit denen auch Menschen in unserer modernen Welt zu kämpfen haben. Begierde, Angst, Verzweiflung, Eifersucht. Gerade weil wir auch selber solche Situationen kennen ist es für den Leser so leicht sich in Lord Soth hineinzuversetzen. Denn wer hat nicht schon mal jemanden anderen als seinen Partner begehrt oder vor Eifersucht rasend rumgeschrieen? Sicherlich nicht in dem Maße wie es Lord Loren Soth tut, deshalb ist es ja auch Fantasy, aber ein bisschen kennt jeder die Angst davor betrogen zu werden. Diese Angst, und damit auch die Vernachlässigung seiner Pflichten und schlussendlich auch die Begierde sind das Hauptthema eines Buches, dass die Geschichte eines großen Kriegers erzählt, der auszog um die Welt zu retten und kläglich an seinen Ängsten scheiterte.

In allen älteren Drachenlanze Büchern erscheint Lord Soth immer als der gefürchtete Bösewicht. Eiskalt und ohne Seele. Doch wie kam es dazu, dass Lord Soth derart hart von den Göttern bestraft wurde?
Lest dieses Buch und findet es heraus. Es mag nicht unbedingt eines der allerbesten sein, aber es ist nichtsdestotrotz gut genug um 4 Sterne zu bekommen

This book is a story leading to Lord Soths Fate, but I was hoping that it would tell of his Exploits as a Dark Knight. A must read for any Lord Soth fan. *2 thumbs up*
