Kurzbeschreibung
In the embattled kingdom of Qualinesti, Dark Knights harass the common folk, and the once-proud Elven Senate moves at the will of the green dragon Beryl. Even the elf king walks a tightrope between serving the needs of his people and keeping the dragon's knights peaceful.
Out of these mired politics a mysterious heroine arises, a Kagonesti woman of the forest glades and rocky eastern reaches. She and her loyal band of resistance fighters swiftly become the terror of the Dark Knights. Known to friend and foe as The Lioness, she is the champion of the people who have been bled by the dragon's taxes and ground under the steel-shod boots of the hostile knights.
She is Kerianseray, the king's own outlaw, his secret lover, and his secret weapon.

Die Geschichte über die Löwin ist spannend und aufschlußreich erzählt. Einige Passagen sind sehr langatmig, aber läßt sich wahrscheinlich nicht vermeiden. Trotz allem ein guter Roman mit viel Hintergrundinformation, vor allem über die Löwin selbst.

I REALLY tried this time but it was not to be
9. Dezember 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
I did really try to like this one, after all it has a really cool cover right? Those that know my DL reviews are aware that I don't think much of Nancy Varian Beberick's work in the shared fantasy world. But this time I thought I would let all the past over-descriptive romance-fantasies slide and begin anew. Like I said, really cool cover and all.
Well the Lioness was a better outing but sadly still was not a good novel. The writing as a whole has gotten a ton better, no two paragraphs spent on describing how an elf wears their hair in this one. But the plot and structure are still horrid in many regards. Speaking of the structure itself first, I must say it was badly designed. The beginning half is fine, but as the second half moves on it gets more and more rushed, and more and more unreadable. Characters are forgotten and then pop up only to die, plot points are rushed, the last fifty pages ends up being nothing more than a massacre and then no resolutions are made on some of the main character deaths during that massacre.
Next point, the villain. One Skull Knight named Eamutt Thagol. He's a wimp. Oh he's tough on the powerscale, he's got some freaky mentalist powers, but on the villain-o-meter he falls short. That's because he's really only got one thing going for him, wanton brutality. He's not really all that clever, and he just kind of popped up in the overall story line of dragonlance. Other than killing a ton of elves he didn't do a thing and because of that the only fear he gave to the protagonist was death. More so my personal dislike for the character comes from the fact that he was an easy out from having to deal with writing Marshall Medan.
Last, the editing in this novel was horrible. Grammatical errors all over the place, strange wording in parts, and almost no knowledge whatsoever of the overall plotline in dragonlance. The worst such discrepancy was that Senator Rashas, plainly dying in the Puppet King by Douglas Niles set thirty years before the Lioness and even thought of as dead in the War of Souls novels, is alive in this novel. It amazes me how the author, and all the editors could miss such a rather large inconsistency. Also Tanis Half-Elven is thought of as alive as far as ten years after the Chaos War and the Elven Prince Porthius is thought of as dying before his time as well.
FINAL THOUGHT: Some elves die, then some knights die, rinse and repeat for a lackluster novel.

Another thrilling DL novel
30. März 2004
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
A very well-written novel. It was especially interesting how Kerianseray evolved from a pampered servant to an outlaw warrior. The standard for the Dragonlance series is in my opinion Weis and Hickman, and Berberick successfully follows in this tradition. The interplay between the elves who want to fight the dark knights and the elves who want to give up make for a story thread which holds your attention throughout the novel. I was unable to put this book down and lost a night's rest in the process. Good Work Nancy VB!--Kendergod son of mpruddy

Another sure fire hit from a truly awesome author
30. März 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
Set in the elven forrest of Qualinost's Nancy weaves a truly gripping tale as she tells the story of a servant turned rebel. Although the Lioness is set as a back drop to the best selling War of Souls trilogy Nancy's book easily stands on it's on merits. I hope wizards of the coast recognizees that all DL fans crave more of her writing
Long live the Lance
