#OKO CROWN OF THIEVES SERIES#

Altogether, while Crown of Thieves irked me today, I might have found it enjoyable 25 years ago. However, if Dragonlance is one of your favorite worlds to play in, the additional backstory and connections that you know about may render the story much richer for you. There wasn't a breath of fresh, original creativity or real-world vividness from research or life experience. Everything in it - characters, scenery, daily details - felt derived from ideas and imaginings from other novels. I wanted to know more and to be brought more into their minds in order to engage with the characters (the equivalent of the acting you see between the lines).Īs an adult reader, I found the novel to be painfully derivative of Tolkien, in tone, style, and content. But this story tipped the balance a bit too far in the direction of a dialog-based screenplay for me. I applaud her avoidance of excessive exposition, and agree that we do learn about people largely through what they say and do. Smatramo da e pruanje vie informacija o procesu dobijanja. Soesbee shows us her characters almost exclusively through dialog. Otkrili smo da postoji velika nedoumica oko toga ta je prirodni lateks i odakle dolazi. Even some of today's young readers who are used to the combination of cool factor and determined heroism of young heroes like Percy Jackson, Ranger Apprentice Will and Harry Potter may have trouble with the persistent naivete and lack of skill in some of Soesbee's protagonists. I am just hoping the quality of writing improves.Ĭrown of Thieves is a lively middle grade fantasy story that is best left for young readers. I did like the cliffhanger and I look forward to exploring that plot. This wasn't the best start of a new trilogy in this world.

That being said, there were two terrific scenes that I enjoyed wholeheartedly. I also felt that the plot contradicted itself on a couple of occasions. I felt like established characters took a step back while a new one changed her whole disposition essentially off camera. I have a complaint with some of the characters though. And I was happy with the return of some characters while being introduced to new ones. I was curious about Elidor and I like how we get his backstory. This is the first book that I thought did not do that. Introduce new readers to this world and entertain. They are not masterpieces but they accomplish their mission. My opinion on these young reader's books in this universe have been positive.

I would suggest reading that series first. His fate was left as a cliffhanger in the first series. This is the start of a trilogy which we learn the fate of Elidor. This is one more entry in the young reader's novels that take place in Dragonlance.
