this book is funny and strangely heart warming. Who knew one could ever feel compassion for a villian? In Lord Toede's search to "live noble" you can almost feel the conflict inside of him as to what he wants to do and what he thinks he should do. For anyone who has read dragonlance, most particuarly The Chronicles, this is one off shoot that is highly recommended! ( )

This book is bad, really really bad. After finishing the novel I couldn't help but think that Lord Toede was one big elaborate joke and not an actually novel. There are so many bad jokes and poor attempts at comedy it was almost completely unbearable. The premise of the novel is silly as well. The thought of Toede dying multiple times to satisfy a wager is ridiculous, not to mention all of the Dragonlance inaccuracies (abishai, gnolls, metal abyss constructs) that are riddled throughout this book. I wish I had even one good thing to say about this novel but unfortunately I do not. Avoid it unless you absolutely want to read every Dragonlance novel(which I plan on doing eventually).
