There's much less slapstick and much more action and intrigue. There's a larger, more developed cast. I think there were some missed opportunities for pathos - some draconians really need to work through the implications of how their race was created. Some things I don't get: It is even better in some respects than the previous installment of the series. A bit darker, but still very humorous. The new characters introduced in the book are as likable as the original ones. The hilarious moments are fewer, but still definitely hilarious. If you get by this book, read it, it is worth it. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Still, as the fort is in a pretty bad shape and Maranta's bastion a far better built place, yet more difficult to get into, this begs for an explanation.
While thinking of ways to regain freedom, even including a talk with a regiment of Dark Knights, stationed in the vicinity of the fort, it becomes clear - although especially much later in the story - that there's more going on than just the battle with the goblins, supposedly because of the female draconians. So Kang and co. are caught between two fires. And he's determined to get out of the mess, no matter what.
All in all, this was a very entertaining read. Don and Margaret also added some well-thought of elements, that spiced up the story. But it's Fantasy, so some things may appear as "wtf?". And it's Dragonlance, so...
Anyway, the Kang's Regiment series - although far from canon - is a very nice read in between. ( )
