Summary: Story of land elfs encountering long forgotten sea elfs.
Comment: If you like stories about elfs you'll enjoy this book. It's about what happens when land elfs encounter the sea elfs, the dargonesti. Conflict arises when the characters find out the the Dargonesti want to conquer them. It's pretty cool when the main character meets someone who wants to help, she gets a new power. The power to turn into a dolphin.This is a very interesting book and has a good ending.

Summary: It's ok I guess
Comment: Well... the book was pretty well written, and contained alot of action and information... but it did have some major flaws. For instance, whenever you start to like a character, they die... whenever you feel that something climatic is about to happen, someone dies or something explodes and that's about the end of it. In the end, read it only if you have a morbid fasination with Sea Elves.

Summary: Disappointing story is not a history at all!
Comment: In a series of books titled "Lost Histories," one might expect to learn about how various races and peoples originated and how they changed through time. In "The Dargonesti" you instead get a story that focuses on a Qualinesti woman who encounters and interacts with some Dargonesti in her travels.
This book could only appeal to Dragonlance fans who want to read every book out there. The story is not that well written and jumps around quite a bit. Characters are introduced and killed off, sometimes rather quickly, and in general are pretty inconsistant. The action is choppy, and the ending is mildly contrived.
For Dragonlance fans, this book presents further problems. Again, it is hardly a history of the Dargonesti, it only deals with one sect of the sea elves over a span of a few weeks. And it doesn't seem that this war-mongering group is representative of the rest, as they are portrayed in Chronicles. Questions like What are the origins of the sea elves, how did they evolve over time, what are their feelings toward the rest of Krynn are either hinted at or ignored altogether. This story should have been modeled after the first book in the series, the Kagonesti, which was excellent.
This was not an enjoyable read at all and I would only recommend it for hard-core Dragonlance fans.
