Rating: Summary: Has trouble with pace, but imagination drives story forward Review: Dragonlance. More than any other fantasy book, this series has spawned spinoffs and copies. Its not hard to see why. Although the book starts shakily, prgressing at breakneak speed through the first book and not even bothering to start to develop the characters. Rather, the book tells the story of a classic dungeon raid into the almost unpronoucable Xak Thsaroth, with a minimum of description but a hell of a lot of swordfighting. (The one exception to this is the touching final exchange between Raistlin and Bupu. This is a fantastic sequence and one of the best parts of the whole series) Once into the second book, however, the story vastly improves. Time is taken to examine the relationships and the characters, particularly those of Tanis, Laurana, Goldmoon and Riverwind. The change of pace is welcome and you become just involved enough with the charcters to start emphathise with them. In conclusion, the book is a fine read, especially the final book. Granted, the plot is simplistic, the characters are wafer thin and plot is simplistic, but the imagination is there and the world is fantastic in the true sense of the word. And that's all that drove Tolkiens novels too, as far as I remember.

Rating: Summary: My introduction to Dragonlance Review: I found this book in a pile of my sisters collection of fantasy, fiction, non-fiction and more. I selected this out years ago, and it pulled me into the Dragonlance series. I have now read over 5,000 pages in Dragonlance books! -Jon Fillmore
Rating: Summary: I thought this book was awesome! Review: This is, in my words,is the best Dragonlance book ever... way better than Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series (which I have read and own). In my short life,I have read and thoroughly enjoyed the DL series. This, my friends, is a classic masterpiece. It would be a shame for everybody not to own and read this book . I reccomend this to anyone, 12 and up.

Rating: Summary: Dragons of Autumn Twilight is the best way to start in Krynn Review: this book is the best book i have ever read. i wouldn't read anything untill i got hooked with this book. now i read all dragonlance books i can.
Rating: Summary: Dragons of Autumn Twilight is beautiful! Review: Dragons once again plague the land of Krynn. Rumors of war are spreading like fire through a grass field. There will be a special meeting on Krynn like there hasn't been for thousands of years. Eight people from across Krynn come together for a reason they do not know and could not understand. Little do they know they will become companions for the rest of their lives... Battling dragons, the awful race of draconians birthed from the dark arts of Takhisis' clerics, hobgoblins and ogres alike, the companions live through it all.They go through all of this to posess the famed Blue Crystal Staff. Death, darkness, love, hate. All of these follow the companions like a tracker on a trail. I give this book a 10 all the way because of all this. Adventure, drama, tragedy, this book has it all. If you like fantasy, you will love this book as much as I did.
Rating: Summary: By far the best Fantasy book I have ever read..... Review: This book is not only entertaining, but it is intense, fast-paced, and very interesting. Not only does the book (and the series) have an interesting cast of characters, but they are followed perfectly as they change and mature into more....much more. This book is still as wonderfuly entertaining now, as it was the first time I read it years ago. A definite must-read!
