Summary: The Best Fantasy Novel Ever: The Doom Brigade
Review: This book has to be the best book I've ever read. The action is fast
paced, and always holds your attention. The concept of using old
villains as heroes is a clever twist. The once considered evil
draconians are so human in their emotions and thoughts, it's hard to
think of them as evil at all. The dwarves are also quite easy to connect
to and are fun to follow. The fire dragons of Chaos are unique villians
as they have no emotion and, therefore, are easy to fear the cold
emptiness. The unique feel makes this an excellent book.

Summary: My first Dragonlance Book, and the best
Review: I started with this book, and, the minute I finished, I dragged my father to the Bookstore and bought about 30 more. I now own a collection of 60 and this one's still my fave. I wish I get the next part, either through Amazon or buying it. The book provides the Draconian point of view, sitting happily thinking about what to do, and dragged into a battle against Chaos by the promise of a better future

Summary: Excellent! A very good book.
Review: I found this book, and loved it! Rarely do I laugh out loud, while reading, but I couldn't help myself. The Hill dwarves are a riot! I love the character developement in each of the main characters.I liked this one so much, I went back to the bookstore and picked up the rest of the series. Definately a good book!

Summary: Great book, but a few problems.
Review: Not so much the page turner that many dragonlance books are but still great. Although still distinct the Draconians were too humanized in this book, I had wished they would be more different from humans in their ways. The best parts were with that weird skinny dwarf, he was quirky and cool!

Summary: Not only funny but made sense too
Review: I love fantasy comedy so this was definitly a good book for me. There is still however, great action to be had in this book as well. I also love how this book totally makes sense. There are explainations behind why we should root for the draconians, and they are good ones. Kudos to Weis and Perrin on a fantastic book.

Summary: Refreshing, funny, original
Review: I thought I've long since grew out of Dragonlance books, I haven't been following them since 'Legends'. By chance I picked up this one and it was much better than I thought. These low-profile, down-to-earth characters are not heroes, but survivors and they don't really care. The dwarves are especially funny and cool, those little stinkers, and the draconians are also great. Both parties are likable, all three-dimensional. All in all it's an absolutely average story with excellent character portrayals, good chemistry and great many funny situations. Though I must admit there were lots of goofs, like axe changing to sword, Daergar to Daewar, onyx to obsidian... not much proofreading. Also, I was aware which parts were thought up by Perrin - these parts are the funny and the down-to-earth segments, while Weis writes her usual formulaic epic arches. The combination, however is one of the most entertaining and funny DL books. A refreshing read, highly recommended.

Summary: Just cause it has Weis on it, doesn't mean an automatic five
Review: You know I really got the feeling that Don Perrin was the one that wrote this and Margaret Weis just helped her hubby out by skimming through it and sticking her name on it. I don't know if this is true, but The Doom Brigade wasn't the best Weis work I've ever read. And the reason for that was the last fifty or so pages, for some reason no DL book has been able to keep my attention through out the whole novel as of late. They are all just so simple, and so non-surprising! But let's start at the beginning. It was good, that's about all I can ever say about a non-mainstream DL book lately too. Good characters (I loved the dwarves, they were great), fight scenes were skillfully done. The author(s) did a good job filling you in on the Draconians past since the War of the Lance. And it had a well thought out plot. But at the end this all falls apart. After the Treasure race beginnings, the book gets pretty darn boring; it turns into a race plain and simple. The Draconians are ahead, but then the dwarves do something clever, but then the Dracos are back, no the dwarves...it just started to annoy me and I kept on saying 'just find the stupid treasure all ready!' Final Thought: You know because it has Margaret Weis on the cover that sooner or later you are going to read it, just don't expect anything as good as the Legends or the Chronicles.

Summary: The Other Side
Review: This story is a nice break from the usual stories about "the good guys". It shows a side of the draconians that one would usually not think about. It is very entertaining and has lots of action at the same time. I highly recommend it. It's one of my favorite stories of Krynn.

Summary: Seeing the Draconians in a New Light
Review: This novel gives us a closer look at what was previously painted as a despicable race. In this novel I almost forgot that the draconians are good eggs gone bad, the product of an evil magic. Because here, they are a race desperately wanting to continue their existence and to be useful to the cause they originally pledged their allegiance. So much so that Kang, their leader, was almost willing to have a symbiotic relationship with the dwarves. At one point, one can almost relate to the desperation of the army to survive and be useful. This is because Weis and Perrin developed well the characters in this novel.
