The charactors that they started with though they nurtured and were all deep and memorable. I think the core DL books are right up there in quality with Tolkein (not = but on the same stage) and definatly helped shape DnD and fantasy liturature (along with Bob Salvator and of course Ed Greenwood). Who doesn't LTAO when remembering Fizban/Tasslehoff/Flint getting in trouble or imagine Raistlin as mage incarnate or stifle a tear (ADMIT IT!) at Sturm's last stand? Actually all of their charactors, big and small have depth and being.
That said, back to my point. I liked the book, but it REALLY had that "Last Episode" over tone. Yes MW and TH have stated that they will never publish another DL book. Not only did it have the last episode feel, it didn't really have the magic that their previous works did. I actually thought it felt like the last Seinfeld episode. Lots of cameos, saying goodbye to fav charactors, more of a fizzle than a bang.
This is not a spoiler thread. I was just wondering what anyone else thought - about this book and the series in general.

Haven't read it yet, but I'll take that as a recommendation to pick it up if I can find it?
