This is the third book of a trilogy and part of the Dragonlance universe. The other books in this series must be read first. This series is geared for young readers. Vael's chance at survival is gone but our heroes are determined to retrieve it and save her.
This series contains characters from the first young readers series as well as new ones. This was a decent trilogy but it did have minor plot holes. The strength of the young readers books have been the characters and that holds true for this book. Sindri has quickly become a favorite and I do like the interaction between our characters as they are more like a family than companions. I liked the premise for this one as it was a sting to steal back an item. It didn't go as planned and this added realism to the book. Like I said it does have some plot holes but the ending was a joy to read and did put a smile on my face.
I am on a journey to read everything from this universe. These young readers books are not the best this universe have to offer. They are not the worst either. They are likable and are a good place to introduce new readers into this universe.
City of Fortune may be my favorite in the Young Adult series so far. I really enjoyed the story told, and the interaction between the characters. I noticed errors, but that's something I'm used to finding in nearly everything I read. Elidor has become my favorite of the "new kids". He's still a bit broody, but I identified more with him than any of the others. The book had a couple of little twists I didn't see coming, and a couple I did. It seems all my reviews are rather disjointed and rambling. Don't let that dissuade you though. If you like Dragonlance, or have liked the other YA offerings in this series, it's worth it to finish this trilogy.
