Summary: Feeling Unsure...
Comment: The Gully Dwarves was a moderate work. I have read worse, but I have read allot of better books. I did find parts of it funny, and there was some pluses to this one, but, sadly, the overall unsure feeling I was left with after reading this one brought down the score.
Ok...opinions aside..now for the review:
This book started out pretty good. It stared out with a green dragon, "Verden Leafglow" , who in the begining was in the service of the evil goddess "Tahkisis". This book begins immediately after the end of the "War of the Lance".
"Verden" is rejected by the goddess for some small deed during the war, and she dies in the beginging..but she is reborn later on from her own egg, as part of her punishment from the goddess. She is reborn in the service of the gully dwarves.
The rest of the book has some very cool action sequences, a mix of a Cobar warrior, and an assassign, and an magical relic. Thats where the cool parts end. The Sheer stupidity of these creatures, gets plain irritating after awhile. It is hard to keep up with them, because they have the vocabulary of a 3 yr old at best. I managed to finish this one, simply becuase I really wound up liking Verden Leafglow. The god "Reorx" even shows up and turns out to be a pretty good conversationalist.
In short if you are a huge fan, you should give this one a read, but if you are just begining the series, then you might need to start somewhere else besides this one, and work your way up to it.
All in all it wasnt a bad read, just got irritating at times.
so 3.5 stars in all.

Summary: Funny & Intelligent!
Comment: I was very wary of this book after I bought it. After I quit reading Tales Of Uncle Trapspringer after about 50 pages or so{which is the only DL book I've EVER quit reading}& hating every short story about gnomes, I wasn't sure I wanted to dive into another book solely based on Krynn's smaller races.
But then the author's name caught my eye.
I remembered absolutely loving Dan's short stories about the Bulp Clan. I dove in.
I laughed for about the first 50-70 pages. Almost constantly. After that, the book turned a bit more serious & just as good.
Read this one. You won't regret it.

Summary: NOt that funny. Rather boring.
Comment: I think the book could have been done more nicely, especially the dwarves. They just didn't seem stupid enough. But sometimes it was funny. Verden just didn't seem real enough. As for Vulpin and Chatara Kral, the whole story about that was quite stupid and unrealistic.
