Exciting book from an important new DL author
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Once I picked up this book I was not willing to stop reading it until i had finished it. You can get a plot summary elsewhere on this site, so I won't tell much about that. Peirson focuses on a race--the Centaurs--that haven't really been focused on in DL literature. And he does it well. The conflict seen between the characters of the novel was also really well expressed. Peirson does a good job in this novel of show his world, instead of telling us about it. I recommend this book to any DL reader who wants an excellent diversion from the main Fifth Age plot line.
One of my favourites

This is one of my favourite DL-books! The storyline was great, great characters, I even liked Dezra though I disagreed with her alot...:-) She had a personality, and so had everyone else! To the people who couldn't tolerate her: why do you always focus on the negative sides? Yes she was bitchy, SOMETIMES, but think about the time when she stood alone beside the funeral-pyre. (I'll not tell which character lay on it, because not all of you have read it..) I think Dezra was the kind of person who disliked showing real emotions, she was very careful about showing her inner self, and always wanted to look tough on the outside.There so much good about this book. The tragic fate of the satyr (I'll not tell his name either..), and the races; centaurs and dryads. Dryads has to be my favourite race. And there were lots of clever ideas and situations in this great book!My favourite characters in this book were, without doubt, Borlos the Bard and Pallidice the dryad. Need I say more? I also liked Trephas, Olinia, Eucleia (ashamed to say, I don't remember her exact name, but I mean the grey centaur chieftess..:->) and everyone one else in this book. I surely recommend it!
Dezra,s Quest
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I thought this book was a great book it had vivid verbs that got you hook onto the book and it seemed like you were atually there in the story. The bad part about the book was that Chris Pierson would go into detail on the guys die and what they look like when they died.I also thought this book was a good book on the wars with the centaurs
This was a great book!

I enjoyed this book alot. I also enjoyed the fact that the centaurs finally had a book written about them and I thought that the characters were well portrayed. The battles were great and I enjoyed Trephas who was a strong warrior who was loyal to Dezra. I would highly advise this book to all Dragonlance readers.
Dezra's Quest is one of my favorite dragonlance books.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Dezra's quest is one of my favorite dragonlance books, mainly because I like to read of the adventures of Caramon Majere, but the other characters like Dezra and Borlos and Pallidice are what give you the feeling of really knowing the characters. I also really enjoyed the creatures in this book, which range from centaurs to dryads to sprites to the evil skorenoi and Grimbough, the evil tree. There was even a Golem,which was a welcomed addition in my opinion. My feeling was that the way the characters and races were portrayed was what gave them meaning to me. In conclusion, the reason I liked the book was because of how well Chris Pierson brought the characters to life in my mind,how he portrayed the little seen centaurs, and the wide variety of creatures.
