This trilogy was actually the very first set of books I ever purchased. It got me hooked immediately to the fantasy genre. I don't claim to be any expert especially during the time I first read this third volume, but I must say that it is one of the best out there. It is not your a-typical conclusion to a good vs. evil plot. It left me with a feeling of, the best word I can think of to describe it, contentment. It had a sense of closure, but at the same time it makes you excited for more.

Every page was/is a new twist, a new turn to the story. It never fails to grab your attention and make you want to get to the next page NOW! I believe I've read this book, and the previous two, at least 20 times throughout the years, and it just gets better every time.

From Raisltin's fate (or the beginning of it) to Tanis' realization of his true feelings at the end of this volume, it lets you feel like you're a part of what's going on and enables you to relate and feel for the characters. If you've never read this book or the Chronicles trilogy and you consider yourself a true fan of fantasy, then consider this an awakening.

I remember staying up ALL night until like 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning to finish this novel. This brings many threads and questions/mysteries from the first two novels (see my reviews of other Dragonlance and fantasy stuff, incl. Dragons of Autumn Twilight and Dragons of Winter Night) to a close. You find out the mysteries of what exactly the Green Gemstone man and why he's important and what happens to Raistlin. Also this epic fleshes out Raistlin to be the amazing character he is, portrayed at the end as one with way more influence and power than any of us thought. Also relationships triangle Tanis-Kit-Lauranana will end with Tanis choosing one over the other. I wont exactly spoil any of it for you. This saga has an excellent ending where divine influence is involved and brings about closure but raises new and exciting questions and mysterious on the world of Krynn. After this comes the Legends Trilogy (Time of the Twins, War of the Twins, Test of the Twins) which is just as amazing as Chronicles. If you read both Dragons of Autumn Twilight and Dragons of Winter Night you MUST buy this book!

Dragons of Spring Dawning is the final book in the Chronicles Trilogy. It ties up all the the loose ends that have been floating around, and creates some more that become the Legends Trilogy. This book sees the death of another of our friends, and the final epic battle of good and evil. Except, the good guys and the bad guys don't always do what we expect. Tanis is in love with two women, which one will he choose. What else is Raistlin willing to sacrifice for power? Will evil come into the world forever, or can goodness prevail? All these questions are answered. I loved this book, it is what all the other stories have built towards. And at the end, saying good-bye to our friends, some of them forever, it is hard. But we can alwasy start over at the begining, or read the other 200 books that are set in the Dragonlance world. There is something special, however, about the Chronicles. These books are worth the time you invest, and should be on any self-respecting fantasy lover's bookshelf.

This novel is filled with love, hate, comedy, and anything you can think of! The story of a strage mixup of characters trying to bring peace back to their world is about to continue. This book is filled with complex characters and magnificent dialogue. A masterpeice without paint is created by two of the worlds best authors.....once again!(It's not the end of my getaway ticket!)

The party of Tanis is searching for the legendary dragonorb so they can control the evil dragons that are currently trying to take over the world with help of their Dragon Highlords. If the party can take over them with the powerfull dragonorbs, they just may save Krynn from all destruction! With the help of Tanis, half-elven, Raistlin, frail mage, Tasselhoff, kender\theift, Caramon, warrior, Laurana, elf maiden, and Flint, dwarf, they try to stop the queen of darkness from taking over Krynn.

A great book for ages 12 and up. Please read Dragons of Autumn Twilight first.

Thank you for reading my review and may the Force be with you!

Frans, (SnArf)

Dragons of Winter Night is my favorite of the three original Dragonlance novels. This book is darker than the other two, filled with much pain and sorrow. The story picks up several months after the end of Dragons of Autumn Twilight, with the Companions of the Lance continuing their search for the ancient Gods of Krynn. They have been swept up into a war that is begining, and are separated in the city of Tarsis the Beautiful. This is a tale of lost love and lost innocence. Tanis is torn between two women, and Raistlin flirts with the black robes of evil. Across the continent, Laurana and Sturm face many challenges, some leading to glory and some to the sword. The character development is supreme and the plot moves quickly. Watch out, the end of this book will bring you to tears if you have a heart.

Tanis, Flint, Tass, Sturm, Caramon, Raistlin, and the rest are back. Tanis' part must recover the Great Dragon Orbs and Dragon Lance. If they fail to recover these relics, all hope of fighting the Dragon Armies will be lost.

This book is marvelous. It combines humor, love, action, mystery, and suspense to create a perfect novel. For an example of a little humor, When there is no hope of escape from captivity; Tass is stealing things and cracking funny jokes about the guards and such, as they are being taken to the dungeons.

This book is good because it is long, but never boring. This book is a book that you never want to end. Unlike other book it does not progressively get better, it is perfect all the way through! At the beginning when you normaly are getting to know the setting and characters, it jumps you right into a little action and suspense.

I recommend this book to everyone! It is the second book in the Chronicles trilogy so I recommend you read Dragons of Autumn Twilight first.

Margaret Weis and David Baldwin, team up in this creation of a modern day fantasy slash detective story, filled with dragons and legends. This is my first time reading anything from David Baldwin; however, for Weis this book falls a little short from what I have come to expect from an excellent writer. The book, which was written very solidly, decent plot, decent characters, falls short in several areas.

The characters were solid, yet they didn't seem to spend any time getting to know them. Especially the main two characters Justin and Sandra. I think a little more in depth writing on their past, and on their current interactions could have helped the story. Also, the plot in regards to who needed to be killed and why, didn't really make to much sense. The murders themselves seemed to bring more attention to what was trying to be covered up then was actually known by the ones that were killed. The last thing that bothered me was that the China connection was brushed over. It left part of the people involved in the story a complete mystery to the readers.

Overall the book was worth reading and I recomend it to anybody who likes to read fantasy stories. I did enjoy it despite some of the above things gnawing at me as I was reading through the book. They did leave the story open to be continued and I suspect the next book will be more in depth, better written, and worth reading.

This was a wonderful book, blending fantasy with modern day crime novels. It leaves you wanting more. I am waiting impatiently for the sequel. Weis may capture a whole new set of readers with this series -- those who are not necessarily into the Dragonlance books -- but are readers of fiction set in today's world. She has blended the dragon storyline into it effortlessly.

Margaret Weis seems to have no shortage of original great ideas. Its not often you see a fantasy book in our modern times. Even when you do seem a book like that, its not well written. This is a definite exception. I could have used a bit more detail on Justinian's life, but thats what the rest of the trilogy is for right? Hopefully they'll get around to writing the rest of it. I look forward to the next book anxiously.

I bought this some time ago, read a few pages, and put it down. Then, about a year later, I was pressed for something to read, so I gave it another shot. I am very glad that I did. This book is the first of seven, and those seven quickly became the most favored books of my collection.

The vastness of these sundered worlds is amazing. The great thing about this book, and the series, is the immersion into the world. The humor of the Gegs (dwarves) is unrivaled because of its innocence. The wars between elven and human are colorful, because the war is for water. A nice irony, since there is ice above the elves and humans (beyond their reach), and the Gegs below are constantly wracked by fierce thunderstorms.

The plot is excellent because so many lines are running at once. And then, too, there are mysteries that are resolved, and others that are carried over. (Example: We learn what the Kicksey-Winsey is designed for, but we aren't told exactly how it operates.)

If you liked Dragonlance, you MUST read this book. The reason, you ask? There is this strange befuddled old man in mouse colored robes in the second book. Let's see, what was his name? . . . Oh yes! It's Zifnab!

DRAGON WING marks the beginning to THE DEATH GATE CYCLE, a series where the first four novels are stand-alones and the action takes place on four seperate worlds. In DRAGON WING we are introduced to the great many races of creatures used in the cycle. There are elves, dwarves, sartyn, and patryn; each race is thouroghly introduced and there is a large aray of characters from each race that grace the story. I liked this book because it managed to go in depth into the minds of the characters, and to create a fast paced, action filled story line all at the same time. There is so much going on in this novel, with it's large and heavily detailed world, that I cannot even begin to synopsize it. All I will say is that anyone who is a fan of fantasy should pick up this book and give it a try. I'm sure you'll be satisfied

Read this book! I read all the seven books and I recommended you read all the Death Gate Cycle. The first book of the series, "Dragon Wing", it's good (in my opinion it's a little slow, but interesting), the other six especially the last four are amazing and very exciting, the story changes in its entirety in the latest books and you don't expect the end. The story is full of magic and imagination and the way that the authors conceive how does it act it's totally new.

The Death Gate Cycle tells the story of seven realms formed by a powerful wizards, the sartans, with the purpose of take control of the mensch and to avoid the increase power of their ancient enemies, the patryns, another powerful race of wizards. The sartans secluded the patryns in a prison named The Labyrinth and then dissapeared mysteriously. But the patryns could conquer The Labyrinth and now they wish revenge and take control of the realms.

Dragon Wing, the first volume of the Cycle, tells the story of the realm of air, Arianus. Haplo, the patryn, is sent by Xar to this realm with the commission of search the sartans. Haplo at the begining, didn't find his ancestral enemy but he found a strange machine operated by the gegs and it's function still unknown.Besides, in this world humans and elves fight for water, the most precious element, because in this world it is scare. Haplo, after a while, knows the gegs Limbeck and Jarre, Bane a human prince who is taked care by Alfred (a strange fellow) and Hugh, another human that must kill Bane.

So, don't you think that at first sight, this story is predictable by only reading the first book. Read the complete series of books, you won't be disappointed.

A reviewer once described Dragonlance Chronicles as "Something to read after Tolkien." I couldn't have said it better myself - Weis and Hickman's work is THE classic of the fantasy genre next to Mr. Tolkien himself.

The story begins with the reunion of lifelong friends 5 years to the day after their last meeting. The world of Krynn is in a time of relative peace, the Cataclysm War having recently ended. Each companion meets back at the The Inn of The Last Home with stories to tell, treasures to boast of, and memories to relect on. But it is not long before the cozy ambiance is sharply pierced as the party is sucked into a plot of good versus evil that will change their lives forever...

Dragonlance may sound like a typical fantasy book, but that is because it DEFINED the fantasy genre over 15 years ago. It set the standard for the grumpy dwarf, the confused leader, and the sexy barmaid; countless writers have tried and failed to emulate the formula quite so well. I have personally read the trilogy three time and am still thirsty for more. In fact, Dragonlance is a much more readable book than The Lord of The Rings. The action is non-stop and each character has his own unique personality and traits. The massive length of Chronicles may seem daunting but to me it is one of the few books that justifies it. My only regret having been an illiterate 1-year-old when the first book, Dragons of Auntumn Twighlight, came out in 1984.

Concerning this annotated version specifically, Weis and Hickman do a decent job of rekindling the magic of Dragonlance. There are plenty of interesting comments on the page borders in the beginning and the end but toward the middle, the authors seem to lose steam. Also, BE WARNED, there are actually blaten spoilers within the authors' comments. I guess they assume all their readers are returners but for those who want to get into Dragonlance for the first time, reading this edition will be hazardous.

Dragonlance: The Annotated Chronicles by Margret Weis and Tracy Hickman is a fantasy classic packaged with a beutiful dust jacket and a handsome hardback binding. No price is too high for this amazing work, so please, come into the Dragonlance world.

The fantasy classic is back, and now it is even better. For those who haven't read it before, this is the perfect volume to get into the dragonlance series.

The main portion of the books are concerned with a band of adventurers at the coming of the Dark Queen. Surprisingly, these heroes are not infallible and have an amazing depth for "good" characters in fantasy novels.

The plot is an intricate tangle of people and places, as varied as those in our world. Weis and Hickman do a masterful job of creating a fantasy world, coming close to the complexity and color in Tolkien's LOTR novels.

Alone, these books are stunning. The annotations, however, make this book a masterpiece. They are funny, informative, and interesting. Weis and Hickman give you there side of the story, and their exposition seem to make the characters more real.

As you can tell from the length of the book, though, Weis and Hickman are unfortuantely quite long-winded. For those who need a quick read with a clean and concise storyline, choose another book. But for those who enjoyed the gradual building of LOTR over 3 books, I will guarantee that you will not be able to put this book down.

A great read-I thoroughly reccomend it.

I hadn't read the Chronicles in several years before picking this up, and I was pleased to find that my fond memories of the books that began the Dragonlance saga weren't simply nostalgia. This is a strong story, set in a believable world with unforgettable characters who seem to me like long-lost friends.

This new edition of the Chronicles adds a great deal of commentary from the authors and from other members of the Dragonlance design team. Their annotations add a new depth to the novels, expanding on bits of backstory that were only hinted at in the original text, explaining where they got their inspiration for certain characters and events, providing insight into all aspects of the writing experience. Many of these notes are very interesting, and some are hilarious. My favorite was Weis and Hickman's little argument about Elistan at the beginning of the second book, which I won't spoil for you!

A bit of advice, though, to anyone new to Dragonlance. Be a little wary of the annotations if you've never read the books before, as they will sometimes reveal things that happen later in the story, and nothing's worse than having a book spoiled for you. It's probably better to read through without reading the annotations first.

Now, if only they'd come out with an Annotated Legends...

(EDIT: 21 Feb 2003) For those interested, the Annotated Legends is, in fact, in progress, and is scheduled to be released sometime around September - October [...]. I certainly can't wait!

Time of the Twins is the first volume of the "Legends" trilogy. The story starts 2 years after the finals events of the "Chronicles" trilogy. If you are not familiar with the series, i recommend reading the first book of "Chronicles", "Dragons of Autumn Twilight". While not fundamental to the story, you will experience the tale from the beginning and see what is all about. This will certainly enhance your experience with the "Legends" trilogy, and if you have liked the first books, you will enjoy this new series. They are great books to introduce someone to fantasy. Just be sure to start with the "Chronicles".

Now about this one:

After the War of the Lance, Raistlin, "master of past and of present", reclaimed the Tower of High Sorcery in Palanthas. And now, his ambition knows no limit. His brother Caramon, the kender Tassheloff and Crysania, a cleric of Paladine, will join efforts in an attempt to bring him back to the path of light. But the task is much greater than anyone imagined, dragging them into a cycle no one could have predicted and that will surely shape the future, for better or for worse.

The story is more slow than the "Chronicles" trilogy. It's not about defeating evil armies. It's a great story about one man ambition and the bonds that unite us all, even when we don't realize...

Readers familiar with the series will surely enjoy this book, especially fans of a certain black robed wizard, with golden skin and hourglass eyes.

This is an excellent series, and was definitely better than the Dragonlance Chronicles trilogy for the simple reason that there are fewer characters to keep track of. The only portions that I didn't like was the transition from the beginning to the middle of the story, when Caramon suddenly transforms into a warrior again from a drunkard by becoming a gladiator, and when Caramon and Raistlin become the leaders of Fistandantilus's army. Too much time passes in both of these instances without any explanation, especially with the Army of Fistandantilus, and even though I knew that Caramon commanded a great army, it just didn't feel like there's anyone else there but Caramon, Raistlin, and Crysania.

The last Legends book is the best, and has one of the best endings I've ever seen. But before even starting this series, read through Chronicles first, or at least the first Chronicles book, because otherwise you won't give a d@mn about the characters in this trilogy.

Like all of the books written by W&H it is great. Any Caramon and Raistlin fan should check this series out. It takes place directly after the chronicles series, and is full of the energy, excitement, and trauma that Wies and Hickman are great at. Plus the books have Tas in them, so you know they will be good. I highly recommend this book, and the rest of the series to any dragonlance, or fantasy book reader. It really brings Raist and Cam into a new light, seeing parts of them that you have never seen before.Including the bond that the twins really do have, and what can come between it. These books are a little confusing at first, but once you get into them, and figure out what is going on, they are a smooth and fun read. Throughout the book, Raistlin is planning something big. While I wont blow it here, it is definately a plan of mass proportions. Caramon and a dark haired cleric are also part of this plan. But will Raistlin's ambitions finally open Caramon's eyes? Read and find out...this book and the whole series is a definate must!

Any of you who are big Raistlin fans like myself, will be a little disappointed in how he is portrayed in this book. In the Soulforge and throughout the Chronicles and Legends trilogies, he is always one step ahead of everyone else. Always seems to know a little bit more about each situation than everyone else as well. In Brothers in Arms, he seems to be one step behind in everything, including casting his magic. The storyline was ok but not very entertaining, unless you like reading about military life as a mercenary. The book is really for Kitaria fans. Those of you who are fans of her character will really enjoy seeing how she begins her ascent to Dragon Highlord. The book has some good moments, but compared to what Dragonlance fans are used to reading from Margaret Weis its a little disappointing.

I just finished BiA and I am awed once again. This time by the DUO of Weis and Perrin. I'm not sure how Perrin helped with the novel, but I don't care; The two of them now married I take it, did a masterful job with this part of the Raistlin Chronicles. Without a doubt, the funniest parts of the novel were the scenes with the Mad Baron. I don't want to give anything away, but this is without a doubt one of the most original and unique characters I have ever read. Simply put, this book was awesome and was better than the Soulforge. I await the next book! (THERE BETTER BE ONE!)

Again Margaret Wies and Don Perrin release a very detailed novel of the brothers Majere. I'm continually impressed with there ability to draw you in using massive detail and character development.

What this book is not: A 100% action packed war in which every scene contains another encounter to defeat (a.k.a 'Hack and Slash')

What this book is: A well written novel about a couple of young kids looking for adventure and knowledge. However the harsh reality may not be what the two brothers are looking for.

For those that have read the original DragonLance Chronicals you will begin to understand the development of Raistlin into what he later becomes. I feel bad for him, but I am angry with him at the same time! That can only come from a well written novel!

This is the 2nd book of the Death Gate Cycle and has only one returning character from the first book "Dragon Wing" : the Patryn Haplo. The book starts out slow as we are introduced to the Realm of Fire, Pryan. This world stays lit constantly which has made the surface a massive jungle so high that only dwarves have ever seen the ground. The story starts with our introduction to an elf family who are in the weapons business. As the best in the trade, they are the richest in the land. They are selling a new shipment of magic weapons to a pair of human traders/smugglers who in turn are smuggling them to the dwarves. The dwarves are worried due to rumors that mythical Tytans are on the move and destroying everything in their path.

It is into this scene that Zifnab (Fizban for those who've read the Dragonlance series) makes a grand entrance fighting to control a huge dragon. After gaining control of the dragon, he predicts Haplo's coming and that the Patryn will be their savior.

So when Haplo does show up, he is surprised to see he has been expected and his arrival is none to soon. The mythical Tytans have proved to be all to real and are destroying everything in their path. Much to Haplo's surprise, these Tytans know crude Sartan magic which they use with the force of a mountain and nearly kill Haplo. Haplo and a few survivors barely escape with there lives and make for one of the "stars" in the sky. It is here that Haplo learns about the creation of the Tytans but is no closer to learning what happened to his enemies, the Sartans.

Learning about the political situation of Pryan is a tad slow in the begining but Zifnab makes great comic relief and the Tytans make for an interesting creature that (IMO) helps speed the book along. This book continues to slowly show us that Haplo is not pure evil just because he's a Patryn. All-in-all an excellent read!

Elven Star brings readers into Pryan, word of fire. Although it may not seem to have mutch in common with the first book, readers will see that it plays an important part later and is tied in with the rest of the story. It is a continuation of Haplo's journey through the four elemental worlds. New charictors are introduced and hummor and romance are added to the rather dark plot. A great book and I can't wait to read the entire series again.

Elven Star is a GREAT book,as captivating as the first. It's a bit slow at first,As others have said before me (like book 1, Dragon Wing), but once you read for a while it's hard to put it down.Yesterday I was up all night reading it and I just finished it today. "The Death Gate Cycle" series has been great so far(I've read two books), and I'm sure it will continue this way.

For everyone applauding the return of Weis and Hickman to Dragonlance, they've been there the whole time (at least since Summer Flame), quietly directing the course of all those 'horrible' 5th age novels, and trying to make the best of a less-than-inspiring setting. I, too, am thrilled to see a new book series from them, which will hopefully repair all the errors of the 5th age.

As for this book, I found myself floundering through the exposition. Having read or at least followed most of those horrible 5th age books, I am sure I am prejudiced against the eternal recapping which takes place in this novel. Unfortunately, the recapping gets in the way of the storytelling to such an extent that the characters seem to lack developement because there isn't time for it. If there was more character development, there wouldn't be enough room to actually fit a story in. As it is, the story is thin, and doesn't really get interesting until about the 2/3 point, which is where the climax should be (not the beginning). Some of the characters are weak and rather stale - Sylvanoshei for one - while the messianic/Joan of Arc characterization of Mina is a bit too obvious. However, Palin has at last gotten interesting and fulfilled his promise (can you see my preference for Raistlin?). Sir Gerard is the best character in the book. At first I didn't like him, but he grew on me. He has true heroic qualities, something most of the new characters from all the books lack. The Knights of Neraka commander in Qualinesti was quite good as well.

If I had one wish, it would be that they hadn't needed to spend half the book recapping, with all those annoying 'meanwhile back at the farm' chapter introductions, and could have given us more story. I don't mind a good cliffhanger, but the wait on this one will be far too long, I am sure. That's why I gave it three stars. It cannot compare with the the Legends series.

Luckily, there will be another Weis and Hickman story out in August - Well of Darkness, for the Sovereign Stone setting. I can get my fix then.

Longtime fans of the Dragonlance series will be glad to see Weis and Hickman in rare form. This is work we have not seen from them since the first half of the Death Gate cycle. Readers who were crushed and disappointed by Dragons of Summer Flame and the Fifth Age series of Dragonlance books will be overjoyed by Dragons of a Fallen Sun.

Sharp, descriptive writing, intriguing new characters you actually care about -- including a Joan of Arc figure -- it's all here. The plotting is tight and while the astute reader will be able to easily guess some of the surprises in store (*coughglaucouscough*), it is reassuring to see the authors will be leading us on a merry adventure through Krynn. The style is more Legends than Chronicles, with no single adventuring party to follow. There are advantages and disadvantages to this; the authors are not required to do dreaded 'head-counts' of ten or twelve characters, but there may not be enough new faces here to support a trilogy after this one. (Faint criticism I know.)

The long passages of exposition another reviewer mentioned were bearable to me. I have come to see it as a signature of Weis and Hickman's work. There is nothing wrong with fleshing out the details and history of, for example, the Knights of Neraka -- many readers may have skipped Dragons of Summer Flame or be unfamiliar with what has happened since. There is some humor, though most of it is tied to the reappearance (yet AGAIN) of Tasslehoff Burrfoot. Although I may frown at the repeated appearances of literally tired and old characters introducted 7 books ago, the introduction of some new blood does much to alleviate that. In many ways, these characters (Goldmoon, Laurana, Caramon, even Palin) may simply be necessary for what seems to be a series and world in transition.

My favorite part of this book is that it looks like this trilogy will make the depressing, boring, godless, uninteresting Fifth Age we all know and yawn at disappear forever. Even if this occurs under the guise of one of Tas's time-traveling mishaps. Although it may seem a bit cheap to some readers, most of us will be saying 'Good riddance!'. Let's lift our glasses to the next two books, and hope Weis and Hickman have something planned beyond them.

I loved this book and while I was saddened by certian events, I was expecting as much. Weis and Hickman are the TRUE gods of Krynn. While the development in the story and characters wasn't as it was in the "gods" previous Dragonlance books, they were still great. Some will groan when they read into a few chapters of the book, at the appearance of a certian Kender, and others we be happy that he is there to liven things up. The other orignal characters are every bit as enjoyable as they were before, and for those who loved Raistlin, they are sure to like the "new" Palin. The new characters are great as well, although a few will take most of the story to actually like. Some reviewers say that Raistlin will most likely not appear in this series, I beg to differ, if he were not to make an appearance, or make a big impact in the future novels, then why would Caramon be SOOOO worried that Raistlin is not there, when he clearly states that "everyone" else is, before he passes. Then he sends Tas and Gerard off to find out why and what is wrong. This book also sets off to put in a new god, The One True God. In my oppinon I don't think the "new" god is really all that new, whether the god is some really powerful old dead mage, Fistandandulas anyone, or someone else who never "really" died, Raistlin, i don't know. Although I don't think the person can truely be someone who was all evil, as the book reveals the the "new" god is not really evil. Well for any and all Dragonlance fans, YOU NEED TO READ THIS ONE. Excellent book everyone!!!!!

When I read Dragons of a Summer Flame, the book detailing the Chaos War, I was high disappointed with the departure of gods and magic. Without gods and magics, Krynn was no longer fantasy. It seemed like it was moving forward to a modern era. I lost interest in 5th Age Krynn, with the great dragons and the weak magic being welded by the former wizards.

Eventually though, I gave in and bought Dragons of a Fallen Sun. Although the book was alright, I really despised the similarities between Mina and Joan of Arc. It seemed like a blatant rip off. But in this book, Mina's zeal and spouting of One God theology is greatly toned down, much to my enjoyment. If I had wanted to read about the virtues of God, I'd go read the Bible. Dragons of a Fallen Star is a very good book, with plenty of action, and one of the best conclusions I've seen in a long time. It seems like Weis and Hickman and pretty much everyone at Wizards of the Coast have recognized their mistake with 5th Age, and are coming up with an excellent way to remedy it. The only bad part is this is a continuing series, and the 3rd book won't be out till April of 2002. Talk about a long wait!

OK, I had my doubts after they ruined the world of krynn and got rid of magic and the gods in the chaos war. But then I saw dragons of a fallen sun and figured i would give dragonlance one last chance.It was worth it.

I never expected fallen sun to be that good, and i think that lost star was even better. I couldn't believe it when they have that little passage at the end of book and then stoped. I mean who doesn't even guess that the dark figure is Raistlin? I say thank God they brought him back because he will make vanished moon imesureably better aand definitly worth the wait.

Goldmoon's single minded, Ghost-hunting drive was boring,and the only thing that made that part worth reading was the gnome, who was pretty funny. Gerad actually was becoming a likeable charactor, what, with getting capturered by the knight of solmania and all. the identity of the one god was so predictable, and you should know what it is when you start reading the part about the distruction of the elves.Tasslehoff was his usual,intriging self and i am so glad they brought him back after killing him off! this is a must read for any fan of the old dragonlance becaue weis and hickman are repairing the world of krynn!

Dragons of a Lost Star was well worth the wait!! When i received the book i read the first 20 chapters immediately!! Weis and hickman develope the characters very well!! This book will do alot to bring old fans back to the world of krynn (yeah you guys who hated summers flame). By the end of the book you will have a pretty good idea who the "one god" is! Also we learn alot about the origins of the "dragon overlords" of krynn! Mirror the guardian of the citidal of light gets more ink in this book and he is a facinating dragon!! All and all this book is spectacular!! I can't wait to see how they finish up the war of souls next april...i have a gut feeling we will be seeing the mighty platnum dragon again!!! War Paladine!!!
