Customer Reviews

Excellent

I read these many years ago and am about to order them so I can read them again. They were all so good. Couldn't put them down. I've never been able to understand why Icewind Dale and Salvatore get all the attention. These 5 books put anything Salvatore has ever written to shame. An excellent read.

THOROUGHLY ENJOYABLE SPOOKY WORLD THAT IS ATHAS!

This is a fun series. I know this is TSR but I don't think of Dungeons & Dragons when I read this series. The barren, dune swept world of Athas is creepy, violent and populated by great hybrid's of races from the D & D worlds - Muls (human/dwarf hybrids), half - giants and very very nasty and deadly halfings. I'm currently up to the 4th book in the series (obsidian Oracle). The first 3 are great. Too soon to judge this fourth book. Enjoy! john

I don't care what anyone says, this was a great book!

I think some of the reviews here are simply un-called for. I've been reading (and re-reading) the Prism Pentad series for several years now. I think that whole story line of this book helps create an arch for the rest of the series. I just hope they make it into a movie someday.

Great Book

A Very Good Book, great story line and lots of actio

The beginning of an incredible series.

Why am I so crazy about this book? Partially because I can see many parallels between Dark Sun's world and our own. Mostly because the characters introduced here, although heroic, still seem real. Even Tithian attracts a little bit of sympathy, and even Agis has his moments of imperfection. And then, of course, there is Sadira -- quite possibly my favorite heroine of fantasy literature
