Dragonlance: Lord Soth
The sixth book in the Warriors series tells the story of the rise and fall of the Knight of the Black Rose. Soth's
story has been recounted many times in varying degrees of detail, but here is the complete story for the first time.
Sadly, there's not enough extra here to make it worthwhile. Also, I was hoping for a classic tale of a good man corrupted
by uncontrollable passion, but the opening of the book sees Soth arranging the murder of his bastard step-siblings.
At no point do you feel any pity or compassion for Soth's character and that completely ruins the tone of the book.
You do find yourself feeling for his wives, Korinne and Isolde, but not to such an extent as to make this something remarkable.
Basically, this book is a run-of-the-mill fantasy story of which any self-respecting Dragonlance reader will already know
the ending. So, not really worth the money.
2 out of 5
'Dear Astinus, I know it has been your intention for many years to pen a volume chronicling the spectacular rise and
fall of Lord Loren Soth of Dargaard Keep.'

If you liked van Belkom:
Then read more about Lord Soth's afterlife in 'Ravenloft: Knight Of The Black Rose' by James Lowder.
