Words cannot describe my distaste right now. All I wanted- ALL I wanted- by the end of this gosh darn book was for Caramon and Tas to go home and make things right with Tika. I'm just done with Raistlin/Fistandantilus and Crysania right now. Staring easy, I'll begin with my Crysania rant. For some reason she is completely smitten with Raistlin even after he abused her continuously and compromised her rather harshly. These don't thwart her-in fact, they greater her admiration for him, believing him to be denying himself when in reality he is just using her for her powers to aide in his quest. This is revealed rawly on pg. 382. Raistlin is also aggravating because he only cares for himself. However short passages about his past makes me wonder why he is so ruthless. One enjoyable part about this novel was Caramon realizing (at least more certainly) that Raistlin is beyond his love and doesn't deserve it. He puts himself first, and I loved it. Now-Dalamar. I love Dalamar and hate Kitiara, so you can guess my reaction to their encounters. All I can say is that it made me anticipate reading the next book much more. Muahaha!!!
