Perfect Introduction To The Legends Trilogy

I personnaly think this is an excellent book, except it doesn't deal with Raistlin enough. But it was still a good book and a perfect way to end the Chronicles trilogy and a good introduction to Legends.For those of you who have read the first two books and are dying from anticipation, Tanis finally chooses which woman he spends his life with. Tas and Flint continue bickering until the end, in more ways than one. Raistlin shows off his real personnality (something I was waiting for). Fizban loses his hat (again). And Caramon beats up some draconians. If you are a Raistlin and Caramon fan, like I am, this book is necessary. As I have mentoined before, this is where Legends gets started (I know Legends takes place 4 years after this but everything in Chronicles leads up to Legends).The best part of the book was the very end when Raistlin fulfils the prophecy. Out of everything in Chrocicles those few pages are what realy stood out."Someday you, with all your strength and charm and good looks,you, all of you, will call me master" Raistlin, Dragons Of Autumn Twilight

IT LEFT ME MISERABLE!

I loved the chronicles, plain and simple. I hate books, I play sports and stuff like that and one day a book report came up and the librarian recommended Dragons of Autumn Twighlight, I was hesitant but I figured why not. At first I didnt really like it too much it was first DL book I had read and didn't know anyhting about it. But after about an I caught on and I kept on reading and reading and then before I knew it, I was on the last page of autumn twighlight. Believe me I was mad. So I got the rest of the chronnicles ( did I spell that right?). And I couldn't put it down. I read for 20 hours straight. I stayed home from school the next day because I was exhausted from staying up till 5 in the morning. And I read it all that day too. I got all 3 books dome in 4 days and Im a slow reader. It completely changed my aspect on alot of things believe it or not other than books, life maybe. I felt as if i was running from hobgoblins at the Inn, and bashing heads with Draconians. I emerged into thier world the instant I picked up the book, and any time I wasn't reading it, the need to know what happened next was tearing me apart. Although I wish the ending wasn't so suddle it was still great.I know your wondering why I told you all this, and you probably couldn't care less so Ill get to the point. There was only one thing HORRIBLY wrong with the Chroniccles, and that was that it...ended. (By the way, if you like to read, and you cant get a copy to read, ill send the darn thing in the mail to ya. Why? just for the satisfaction of konwing I blessed someone with the oppurtunity to read the super UNBELIEVEABLE GREAT book.)

Great in 5th grade, great now.

I must say I agree with John from Cambridge on the first page. I read this book for the first time in 5th grade, and was captivated by all the battles and the dragons. But now as a senior in high school, I thought it would be fun to reread it. I liked it for a entirely different reason this time. The intense emotion of all the characters, the overwhelmingly "human" aspect of them, the bitter realizations at the end....all of it combined to make one of the best books I have ever read. I am going to Harvard next year, and with all the classics I have read in school, I have not read a book with as hauntingly real characters as this book. They'll stay with you longer than even the Baggins and Gandalf will.

best book for fantasy fans

I started to read dragonlace with Dragonlance Chronicles and I can say that dragons of spring dawning is the best of them... I've read it for three times but I can feel the same feelings that I felt for the first time... All I can say that's the best book I've ever read

Beauty in the eye of the beholder

This, my fellow readers, is an absolute gem of a tale. A treasure which is a find of a lifetime. A cataclysmic tour de force.For many a years I had settled for mediocrity fantasy deep in the belief that nothing could excel Tolkien. Now, I honestly do believe that anything is possible. This isn't just another fantasy novel. It truly is the greatest fantasy saga of all time. Several of the other readers have made comparisons to Tolkien. Tolkien set certain standards with his novels. Weis and Hickman have developed this further (and no, I didn't think that could be possible either), setting their own universal standards in the process. They certainly are the masters of the fantasy cosmos. I could not find a single flaw or make a single criticism of the entire series. I have nothing but acclamation for it.This powerhouse has incessantly urgent plot development and intrigue, and every consequence of that plot is clearly thought out. The characters are so comprehensively defined and developed that you feel as if you know them personally; thus truly adulating or despising them. The authors achieve this by probing deep into the characters' minds and their very souls. Tanis, the tortured central figure in the universe, weighing problems upon him with the stakes of which no mortal being should ever be demanded. Laurana, an elven enchantress of eternal beauty and pure of heart, suffers as deeply as Tanis. Kitiara, an alluring yet complex presence, is chillingly captivating. The tragic loss of two key figures adds greatly to the affinity. The authors put their characters into uniquely dark situations and get their responses so correctly that the spell is never once broken.Both the subtle and apparent use of several themes throughout the novel is flawlessly executed, and harmoniously tied together at the end. Although the style of writing remains consistent, the pace and scheme of this novel picks up greatly from Winter Night, with a suspense/thriller feel to it. The disquieting tension as the plot races to its conclusion is a reader's thrill ride. On one hand you want to read hastily and gleefully to see how the perilous tale unfolds, but on the other hand, you want to slow down to fully appreciate the authors' work; one reason why this merits a second reading.I disagree with some of the views that Dragonlance is purely for the younger generation of readers. I believe the classic series appeals to all readers regardless of age for different reasons. As an example, when I first read the Chronicles back in the 80s, I was only 10 and I thoroughly enjoyed it for the spectacular battle scenes and the fantastic adventures our heroes go on. I read the series again not so long ago and was captivated for an altogether different reason. This time it wasn't the majestic dragons or the mythical world of Krynn that enraptured me, as I no longer have a child's imagination. Instead I was spellbound by the characters themselves and how
