About book Wanderlust (1991)

This takes place in the Dragonlance realm and is set before the original trilogy. This novel tells the story of Tas meeting Flint and Tanis for the first time. Flint is commissioned to make a bracelet for a mysterious customer and this bracelet ends up in Tas' pouches. This bracelet ends up being magical and next thing you know we are off on an adventure.Before I started reading this I had a feeling I would give this a high rating because of Tas. He has been a favorite of mine since I read the original trilogy way back when. The only thing that could ruin this book if the authors portrayed the characters incorrectly. This was not the case as they did a great job with all three characters. Readers will laugh out loud because of Tas and feel nostalgic with Tas and Flint arguing. As of the adventure it wasn't epic like the original trilogy but it was sufficient. The adventure wasn't the true story line in this book as the true story line is the beginning of a friendship between these three companions and this is done perfectly.You don't have to be a fan of Dragonlance or have read the original trilogy to enjoy this book. Readers of the original trilogy will especially enjoy this novel as it brings back the camaraderie that was throughout those novels.

Het valt op hoe verschillend W&H ertegenaan kijken vergeleken met hoe Mary Kirchoff en Steve Winter Tas portretteren. In Wanderlust toont hij enorm veel intelligentie, vooral als speurder voor vallen, verborgen gangen, en meer (zie laatste deel van het boek). Voor W&H is hij grappiger, ietsje dommer in z'n acties, ... Hier is het precies een wat volwassener Tas en dat vergt wel een gewenning. Centraal draait het om een toekomstvoorspellende armband, voor de troonopvolger van de Dargonest

Do You like book Wanderlust (1991)?

Sadly, I did not care for this book at all. Of course I liked Tanis, Flint, and Tas, but the rest of the characters weren't interesting to me whatsoever. There were a lot of things that seemed to happen just by chance, so it was hard to get wrapped up in a believable story (even though it is obvious fantasy, you should still feel like there is a true plot, not just a bunch of random things that come together). I'll have to take a break from the Meetings books after this because I can't handle any more butchering of my favorite series right now.
