Kurzbeschreibung
Weapon of the Dark Queen Against a darkened cloud it comes, framed by thunder and lightning, soaring over the ravaged land: the flying citadel, mightiest power in the arsenal of the dragon highlords. In an age of war, an evil wizard learned the secret of creating these castles in the air and sought to use them to gain power over all Krynn. Against him were ranged a red-robed magic-user, a cleric, an ancient warrior, and -- naturally -- a kender. Their battle shook the skies of Krynn.
Synopsis
A magician, a cleric, an ancient warrior, and a kender struggle to protect Krynn from the flying citadel, the ultimate weapon in the arsenal of the dragon highlords, who seek to use the flying fortress to seize control of Krynn.

Ein älterer Roman, Story ist spannend und fesselnd. Bekannte Elemente der Dragonlance Saga, sprich die fliegende Zitadelle werden mit neueren (laßt euch überraschen) verbunden. Entgegen Dalamar the Dark ein gelungenes Werk.

A decent novel, but not Knaak's best work
22. November 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
Richard A. Knaak is my favorite author, so I wasted no time in getting a copy of this book (also signed by Mr. Knaak himself). Knaak once again makes use of gargoyles (which he previously used in the books Ruby Flames and Frostwing), a creature that normally isn't seen or mentioned much in the Dragonlance world, so kudos to Mr. Knaak for adding some creativity and change to the DL world. The story in itself is quite decent, and even when it seems like the book is coming to a close, Knaak manages to stretch the story out another 50 or 100 pages. The low points of the book are the characters. The main bad guy, Valkyn is a typical 'Bwa-ha-ha-ha I'm going to conquer the world' villian, and the two high ranking officers Bakal and Cadrio don't differ too much in personalities even though one is supposed to be good and the other evil. However, Knaak does experiment some with the main character Tyros by working with an arrogant character, whereas many of Knaak's other characters in past books were either somewhat out of their heads/minds (i.e. the Dutchman, Shade), or fairly level headed (Cabe Bedlam). One thing I missed was much of the inner contemplation that many of his other characters had, but this book didn't contain nearly as much of this critique.
All and all, this book was worth my time and money, and is probably better than most of the other Dragonlance books out there. For fans of Dragonlance and Knaak's writing, this would be a good choice. However for someone just getting into fantasy or Knaak's writing, picking up a copy of The Legend of Huma would be a better bet for now (then one can pick up The Citadel later).

Recapturing Dragonlance
28. August 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
I thought this book was GREAT!! It recaptured the essence of dragonlance and brought to mind the original magic of the firt 6 books. Images of battles, dragons, flying citadels and wonderous magic filled my head throughout the whole book which I finished in 3 days. The characters that were introduced were both interesting and realistic. They actually made the reader care whether or not they lived or died, which in fantasy novels sometimes is hard to do since many of the characters are the same from book to book. I recommend this to anyone new to the Dragonlance genre. It was fantastic!

Simple, very Simple
3. September 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
This was a painful book to read. I'm not saying that it was bad, it was just painful for me to read. Why? Well it was such a `normal' and unoriginal story that it hurt me. Here are the main characters: An old Guy that's good with a sword, a arrogant Red Robed Mage, a Kender with something special and strange that the others will need, and a cleric that is searching for a lost love that has more or less turned three sixty on her. And the bad guys are none other than an evil magic user with some nice toys and a dragon army general that wants to rule Krynn. Throw in some gold and black dragons and a magical item that is way more powerful than its former and what do you have? A very common and simple fantasy story.
But I'm not saying it was a bad book, I'm just saying it was simple. Within the story the characters, while cliché, are realistic and believable. I wouldn't say you develop a deep care for them as the story goes along, but I will say that you feel for them sometimes. There are also some good fight scenes with everything from dragons, to gargoyles, to normal old soldiers. And last, this book was also good solid writing by Richard A. Knaak, as I've come to expect from him.
The Final Thought: If you are a major DL fanatic then you will want to read this book. If you aren't then it's a good read when you don't have anything else laying around.
