Wizard's Curse is a new Dragonlace: The New Adventures story that takes place right after Dragon Spell, the last of the eight books in the original series about Nearra and Asvoria. It has some of the old characters from the original series and some new ones too. There were hints in the original series that Jirah was up to something, always looking and talking into a magical mirror, and this is finally explained in Wizard's Curse.
But what I did not like about this book was the personality changes in both Jirah and Davyn from the original series. It's like the author, Christina Woods, did not read the original eight books and did not really get to know these characters before she penned this one. Other than that one flaw, the story is fun and interesting and I quite enjoyed reading more about Nearra and her adventures.
Overall, Wizard's Curse by Christina Woods is a good fantasy tale that opens the door to a trilogy that hold a lot of promise. I look forward to seeing what happens in Volume Two: Wizard's Betrayal by Jeff Sampson.
I rated this book a 7 out of 10.

This is the beginning of a new trilogy in the world of Dragonlance. It is written for young readers and has some characters from the first series. Reading the first series will help with this book but it is not necessary. In this one, Jirah and Nearra seek to restore the ability by their family to perform magic.
I really wanted to like this book for a couple of reasons. First, the majority of the book takes place in Icereach. I like this part of the world and this area has not been explored a lot in various Dragonlance books. The second is it had ties with a trilogy that takes place early in the timeline. I enjoy connections like that. The problem began to arise when it tried to tie in with other aspects of this universe and it seemed like it was trying too hard. The main problem with this book is the portrayal of the established characters. The first series dealt with the growth of these characters and this book totally did a one-eighty in their portrayal. My theory is that this happened just to add teenager drama and angst to the novel. I like drama but it needs to be earned and not just put there for the sake of it.
This wasn't the best start of a trilogy. I did like the introduction of the new kender as he put a smile on my face in a couple of scenes. I do think that this trilogy can be turned around as the cliffhanger does provide a path for an enjoyable adventure. I am hoping that this turns out to be the case and the rest of the trilogy drops the unearned teen drama.
