I actually enjoyed this book. I didn't think I was going to, but I did. A couple of things struck me, though: The elven names in this book were bad, bad, bad (Sardal Crystalthorn and Argaen Ravenshadow). Sounds like someone rolled the names from a "pick one from column A and one from column B" kind of name generation tables. Some of the history of the minotaurs and their servitude to the ogres was told, which I thought was interesting. I also thought that the ending was a little too easy - and, of course, like any horror movie intent on growing into a franchise, the good guys don't finish off the bad guy completely, but have plans to "bury the thing where not even the dwarves will ever find it." Bah. It's a cheap way out.
All in all, a good effort for the DragonLance world.
