Summary: A Modern Classic.
Review: This first book in the wonderful Dragonlance Chronicles Trilogy introduces a world that people have come to truly love. The world of Krynn has given rise to what must be a hundred novels that loyal fans gobble up. This loyalty is inspired mainly by these first three books in the saga, starting with Dragons of Autumn Twilight. It was the first Dragonlance book I read (as it should be everyone's) and it is the one I will always remember most vividly. The introduction of some of the coolest characters in fatasy literature and their crazy adventures through a new and unique world fighting draconians, goblins, and dragons. Tas, Flint, Tanis, Caramon, Sturm, Raistlin, Goldmoon, and Riverwind will always be the classic fantasy heroes to me, whom I can compare and relate heroes from other books. These characters are not the unrealistically superhero-like and unstoppable players like in some other books (Drizzt for example) but are instead very life-like (as far as fantasy goes) with some pretty major faults of their own.
It is interesting to see how the writing style of Weis and Hickman has changed over the years and its obvious that in this first collaborative book they tried very hard to stick to the AD&D format which actually might take some good away from this first book of the series. Overall though, this book and this series is one of the greatest fantasy stories I've ever read and has become a classic that every fantasy fan should read.
