About Kendermore
Beloved kender Tasslehoff Burrfoot encounters marriage, magic, monsters, and mayhem in this Preludes novel set before the War of the Lance

While carousing at the Inn of the Last Home, carefree kender Tasslehoff Burrfoot is snared by a bounty hunter whose assignment is to ensure the return of the light-fingered escape artist to his homeland. It seems his beloved Uncle Trapspringer is being held prisoner by the venerable council of elders—until Tas honors Kender marriage tradition, that is.

But before he can say “I do,” Tasslehoff’s betrothed pulls a disappearing act of her own. The race is on to see who gets dragged to the altar first. But not only must Tas dodge matrimony, he must elude a capricious wizard set on pickling one of every creature on Krynn, cheer up the last existing woolly mammoth, foil a most determined and deadly assassin, and—in the end—save Kendermore.

Welcome to another DragonLance Saga review episode. It is Bakukal, Newkolt the 5th. My name is Adam and today I am going to give you my review of Kendermore by Mary Kirchoff. I would like to take a moment and thank the members of this YouTube channel, and invite you to consider becoming a member by visiting the link in the description below. You can even pick up Dragonlance gaming materials using my affiliate links. This is my perspective only, and if you have any thoughts or disagree with mine, I invite you to share them in YouTube chat.

Returning to these Preludes is like visiting an old friend. I know a lot of people have problems with Kender both in novels and in-game, but I have always been a fan. To me, the best part of kender is their hypocrisy and wit. They handle items, then grow genuinely hurt when you call them a thief for taking your things without permission. Then they can turn on a dime, and taunt you to tears of rage. But again, they will take any personal slight deep into their heart. Tas is this personified. What I am not so eager to revisit with each of these stories are the same descriptions of Solace and the Inn of the Last Home. Don’t get me knowing. I like the locations, but every book describes them in such detail, knowing they are the tenth novel to do so. At what point is enough enough?

The story starts after Kitiara, Sturm, Caramon and Raistlin have left Solace for their five year sojourns. Tas, Tanis and Flint are kicking it in the Inn drinking when a stout and gorgeous dwarf woman named Gisella Hornslager enters with her assistant Woodrow. I immediately fall for this character as she is as sexually overt in her mannerisms and suggestions as I am, and I dig it! There are a number of adult jokes I never got as a kid, and it really makes this re-read a delight. She is looking for Tas because he has a bounty on him, and this is the setup to this novel.

Apparently Kendermore was getting low in its population, so they began instituting forced marriage. Since it's a law, and Tas hasn’t returned to Kendermore yet to marry the Mayor Meridon Metwinger’s daughter Damaris, they put out a bounty to return him to Kendermore. In order to prove how serious they are, the Mayor detained Tas’ Uncle Trapspringer Furrfoot, absconding with his Minotaur or Werewolf finger bone, he doesn't know which is its true origin, and sent that with the bounty hunter, the voluptuous Gisella, to showTas that Trapspringer is truly held prisoner, and Tas must go with them.

Initially Flint and Tanis were stopping Gisella and Woodrow from taking Tas, but he eventually agreed to go on his own. They travel all the way to the coast of New Sea, referencing a pre-cataclysm map, and grow ever more furious with Tas’ shortcut. When they finally saw the coast they were approached by a hoard of Gully Dwarves offering the very pretty Gisella a pulley job. She took it for a former pulley job she had back in the day, must've had something to do with the end of a massage, or that’s the inference anyway, and she refused. Then she realized they were using pulleys to bring up crates from the sea, six hundred feet below Xak Tsaroth!..
