Summary: Reminds me too much of Xena...
Review: I'm sorry, but I used to watch Xena on TV, and I've been there and done that. The gods are dying/dead and there's a new "one god" that's going to come and be good? Oh gee, us modern readers are supposed to assume this is the Christian (or whatever) God, or some parallel, and feel frightened that a magical fantasy world is going to turn into something horribly boring like a Middle Ages Earth where miracles are real. But of course, there must be a plot twist. Just like in Xena, we can count on this "One God" being very evil. Oh wow, how shocking!If it matters, this "One God" is not revealed as being evil in this book. But I know a tired old cliche when I see one, and I can feel it in my blood... this is going to be nothing but a disappointment. Besides, Tracy Hickman is a fanatic Christian in real life. He would never create a "One God" that isn't the God of the Bible and have it be good. Nor would he allow Weis to do so, at least not over his dead body. It would be blasphemy to him. Hickman is a very predictable author, once you have the misfortune of reading his non-fantasy works. Anyway, it still IS a Dragonlance novel, and not a horrible one. I would give it 2.5 stars if I could, but I can't, and 2 is just too low. So 3 stars. It is not a bad book, and it's a nice way to kill some time if you're a Dragonlance fan, but I fear the "mystery" over this "One God" will not be a mystery to anyone with half a brain.

Summary: Good but long to pick up the speed
Review: I found this book to be a good story. It had the power to pull the reader in and watch the world unfold around you. This was my first Dragonlance book ever. I must admit, the book was very dry for the first 100 pages. It really took alot of effort to get into the story from the first. As the story progressed it became more alive and entertaining to me. This quite possibly could be due to this being my first Dragonlance book. In the series this was the slowest. It definitely sets up the remaining books well. I liked this well enough to get the rest of the War of Souls volumes. A good book, just try and hammer through the first 100 pages as quickly as possible.

Summary: A good start to a great trilogy
Review: I came across dragonlance last year and have devored the books. This book, Dragons of a fallen sun, has much of the loved charm of dragonlance. I would recommend this trilogy to early dargonlance readers of all ages. This brilliant book starts with a horrible storm that leaves its wrath everywhere. Galdar, comes in contact with a human "girl" who gives him back his sword arm. He instantly, along with the small army with him, falls in love with Mina, the fearless girl that is soon to become Lord of the Night for the Nights of Nerka. Weiss and Hickman weave several story lines masterfully, including the stories of both elven nations, the fearful dragons, Gerad(a knight that doesn't do anything...), a HONORABLE kender that changes history, and the main story line,Mina. A great book filled with adventure, heroes, dragons, and the one god, this book is one you will not soon forget.

Summary: Extremely Disappointing
Review: Having been an enormous fan of the first 2 trilogies and having suffered through some of the shlock that spun off of them, I was thrilled when it was announced that Weis + Hickman were returning. Sadly, having just finished Dragons of Summer Flame + the War of Souls trilogy, I am sorry to report that this third trilogy is truly awful. There is no sense of drama, strong emotion, or even a believable storyline. Remember the awe and grandeur that their wonderful writing imbued in Raistlin, Takhisis, Paladine, Alhanna and the Shoikan Grove? Completely missing from their latest work. Worse their writing even diminishes their stature as these characters/entities are treated almost like ordinary beings. It is incomprehensible to me how W + H could have written this horrible collection after the wonderful stories in their first 2 trilogies. This sequel was worse than "Scarlett", the little-known sequel to Gone with the Wind, and that's saying a lot. Worse than The Phantom Menace even. I think that many true Dragonlance fans that loved W + H's earlier work will hold in their hearts that the story of Krynn ended with Test of the Twins, a powerful and emotional book that beautifully capped off an epic tale of sacrifice, honor and pride. (Or perhaps The Second Generation, which was not too bad) So save your money, don't buy this book and re-read Chronicles and Legends if you miss the world of Krynn.

Summary: A hellova good book, but makes for quite the Enigma???
Review: Having only recantly read the "Legends" Trilogy, and completely not having read "Chronicles" (It's on my to do list), I was kinda saddened by the death of Caramon so early on. I would have liked to have seen him doing well after the death of Raistilin. But this one left me with a very big question right in the begining.. WHO THE HELL IS MINA, AND WHERE IN HELL DID SHE COME FROM? I mean, all of a sudden, you have her walking in the middle of a storm that could only be called magical, but, strong as your average hurricane. Enough of me telling you what happens. I became a W&H fan during the "Legends" Trilogy, but I keep smaking into the wall of Mina. I can't see where she came from, only to have such a huge and important role in this one. (Did She appear in the "Bridges of Times" Series? I was planning on reading that one as soon as I finished the "War of Souls"). I like the fact that this series may not possibly happen anywhere in the Krynn timeline. The chance that the world may not have lost it's gods appeals to me, though if so...then "Tears of the night sky" Which dealt with Crysania during the chaos war would have to be changed, because in it, the gods beat father chaos, but have to leave the world. Which means that this series has to happen. Confused? I understand. To sum up, I liked this book, Im drooling over the second, but damnit, will someone please enlighten me on where Mina came from? If any of you actually get to meet any of the authors...please beg them to start reading each others work so FUBAR situations like this one don't occur?

Summary: In love with Dragonlance again!
Review: I have to say that 'Dragons of a Fallen Sun' has rekindled my love for the Dragonlance series. After growing thoroughly apathetic with the new direction the books had taken (especially the depressing 'Downfall' by Jean Rabe) I was happy that there was a new book written by the original team of Weiss and Hickman. After just finishing the book, I can truly say these two were destined to continue this series. It seems that when the other authors who have been given the liberty of writing in the Dragonlance universe start to deviate from the path, Weiss and Hickman always manage to steer the series back on track. This book is the example. The authors do a great job of doing justice to classic characters while successfully integrating new characters that are endearing and well written. The story itself is epic, weaving multiple plot threads that warrant the 600 pages given to it. I am definately looking forward to reading the next book in the collection, something I have not said about a Dragonlance book in a longtime.

Summary: Another start to a good series
Review: With the end of the legends series and the end of Dragons of Summer Flame it sounded like Weis and Hickman might start another great series and I was right. This book shows great writers combining together to make a good book. From the start with Tassholf to the end with Goldmoon following the trail of the dead this book never lets down on the action.

Summary: Magic of Krynn is Back!!
Review: M. Weis & T. Hickman are my favorite Fantasy Authors!!! I loved the Chronicles and LegendS!! They were my all time favorite books. I was disappointed with Second Generation and Dragons of Summer Flame. But they brought the magic back with this trilogy!! I loved this book and it was written very well!! I recommend reading all the Dragonlance books by these two authors.
