oh yeah! it is DEFINATELY a good book (but not as good as Autum or Fall of these DL series, the ones where Flint, Caramon, Raistlin, Sturm, Tanis and Tas! are in it!)
you are right, Dalamar was in character. well, there is one thing that bugged me so much was Mina ... she is a religious fanatic idealist. the thing with her is, her character is extremely hard to portrait, and extremely hard to bring it just to the level that ppl don't give you the raised eyebrow while not overdone it. in my opinion, Mina's character is very shallow, and her religious enthusiasm empty and lack of reflection.
you know, a very simple rule is, after reading dragon lance (the older series) I LOVE the characters no matter how evil they were. Raistlin, Dalamar (the old one) and even the self-righteous elven king in Qualinast, were my all time favors... but Mina, it was really hard for me to love this character. it seemed so very unreal, and incorpereal. of course, such Mina-like characters are above the standards of realism, they soar high above the mortals, nothing can ground them or set a limit to them. however, I'd rather see a real description of this incorperealness rather than an incorpereal one.
I hope I explained it.
