Rating: Summary: Dragons of Spring Dawning - An outstanding conclusion! Review: Dragons of Spring Dawning as state above, is simply an outstanding conclusion to the Dragonlance Chronicles trilogy! As you will see from the first two novels, these two outstanding authors will have you thoroughly enthralled in this epic story from the very first page of Dragons of Autumn Twilight to the very last page of this exceptional conclusion! For myself, as I drew to within a hundred pages or so from completing this novel; I experienced a strange sense of sadness, knowing that I was almost done and strangely enough would miss the majority of these characters. I say a majority due to the fact that a few of them are in the follow up trilogy, Legends. Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman have such a compelling writing style that will completely enthrall you into the lives of these fine characters.The premise: MINOR SPOILER Dragons of Spring Dawning picks up right where the dramatic conclusion to Dragons of Winter Night left off, where a major and beloved character is killed, leaving the reader and the other characters with a major sense of loss. The suspense for the Chronicles trilogy is brought to an even higher level than the first two novels, as it is all coming to the remarkable conclusion and the ultimate meeting of the beloved characters and the forces of darkness which have brought war to the magical world of Krynn. The Dragonlance Chronicles is, simply stated, one of the finest fantasy trilogies ever written and these two authors deserve all the accolades they have received and will continue to receive. I highly recommend this to any and all fans who have either already read this trilogy or to any newcomers. Once you're finished with this book and the Chronicles trilogy as a whole, I highly recommend the Dragonlance "Legends" trilogy. {ssintrepid}
Rating: Summary: Last but definitely not least Review: This trilogy was actually the very first set of books I ever purchased. It got me hooked immediately to the fantasy genre. I don't claim to be any expert especially during the time I first read this third volume, but I must say that it is one of the best out there. It is not your a-typical conclusion to a good vs. evil plot. It left me with a feeling of, the best word I can think of to describe it, contentment. It had a sense of closure, but at the same time it makes you excited for more. Every page was/is a new twist, a new turn to the story. It never fails to grab your attention and make you want to get to the next page NOW! I believe I've read this book, and the previous two, at least 20 times throughout the years, and it just gets better every time. From Raisltin's fate (or the beginning of it) to Tanis' realization of his true feelings at the end of this volume, it lets you feel like you're a part of what's going on and enables you to relate and feel for the characters. If you've never read this book or the Chronicles trilogy and you consider yourself a true fan of fantasy, then consider this an awakening.
Rating: Summary: This book is great!!!! Review: This is a very good book. You find out a lot of vital information, like who Fizban is. You need to read the other books in this series though, they are Dragons of Autumn Twilight and Dragons of Winter Night. Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman are very talented authors. They created wonderful books. They are very descriptive and I thing these books are action packed.
Rating: Summary: IT LEFT ME MISERABLE! Review: 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.)
Rating: Summary: This is a great book and part of a great series. Review: If you like to read fantasy series, read the Dragonlance: Chronicles v.03 Dragons of Spring Dawning by Margret Weis and Tracy Hhickman. But if you do, be sure to read the first two books, Dragons of Atumn Twilight and Dragons of Winters night. If you don't, you will miss a lot of important details, about the characters and the setting. You always want to read any series from the first book to the last one. The plot in this book is very interesting and not the typical good vs bad story line. This one has a couple of interesting twists. For example, some of the main characters fight for good and have hearts and souls of evil. In this series, the characters are believable if you keep an open mind. There is a wide variety of charracters: A Dwarf, a Half--Elf, a Kender, a fighter, a magic user, a barmaid turned fighter, a cleric, a plainsman, and two Elves. There used to be a knight but he died in the second book. This keeps the series interesting to read. The setting is very important in this book, it influences what the characters do and keeps the book interesting. The writing is very easy to follow and has great dialog. The fighter and magic user are twins, the fighter supplies the magic user physical stregth. But in the end the magic user saves his twin and then leaves, symbolozing that even the strongest bind can be broken, and the toughest obstacles can be over come. I recommend this book only if you have read the first two. I really enjoy this book I keep rereading the entire series just to reread The Dragons of Spring Dawning.
Rating: Summary: Oh my gosh! Review: This is the final installment in the Dragonlance enourmous saga and volumes of books and let me just say this...Dragons of Spring Dawning renewed my long overdue and i would add lost interest in fictional reading. I had read Dragons of Autum Twilight and was like eh...why all the books in this Dragonlance series anyway I dont see the big deal...having concluded that it was unworth I put off reading anymore till this year, a 2year break. After reading Dragons of Spring Dawning I now know what the fuss is all about...Stick with it and read this one and the rest will be your new found craving! Dragonlance!
Rating: Summary: The end for some and the begining for others Review: Dragons of Spring Dawning is the final book in the Chronicles Trilogy. It ties up all the the loose ends that have been floating around, and creates some more that become the Legends Trilogy. This book sees the death of another of our friends, and the final epic battle of good and evil. Except, the good guys and the bad guys don't always do what we expect. Tanis is in love with two women, which one will he choose. What else is Raistlin willing to sacrifice for power? Will evil come into the world forever, or can goodness prevail? All these questions are answered. I loved this book, it is what all the other stories have built towards. And at the end, saying good-bye to our friends, some of them forever, it is hard. But we can alwasy start over at the begining, or read the other 200 books that are set in the Dragonlance world. There is something special, however, about the Chronicles. These books are worth the time you invest, and should be on any self-respecting fantasy lover's bookshelf.
Rating: Summary: AMAZING TRILOGY!!! Review: Definitely a great fantasy epic and one of my personal favorites, The Chronicles Trilogy- Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragons of Winter Night, and Dragons of Spring Dawning, brings to life the ultimate battle between Good and Evil in the World of Krynn. The books are so incredibly well written that the reader feels that they have been transported to another plane of existence and are actually present among the characters, seeing what they see, feeling what they feel, sensing what they sense. The authors Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman have truly outdone themselves and have presented us with a masterpiece of literature the likes of which we have seen only in JRR Tolkien's work and RA Salvatore's The Dark Elf and Icewind Dale trilogies. A GREAT trilogy indeed and a "must read" along with Margaret Weis' Legends trilogy! Duty, honor, bravery, magic, dragons and heroes are all about. One should seriously start thinking about maybe turning them into movies...
Rating: Summary: A handful of heroes strive against darkness and bloodshed Review: Co-authored by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, Dragons Of Spring Dawning is the third volume of DragonLance, a best-selling role-gaming fantasy trilogy about an epic war between mere mortals, mighty dragons, -- and an utterly malevolent goddess queen. A handful of heroes strive against darkness and bloodshed, yet betrayal threatens to destroy them all. As enjoyable now as when this outstanding series first introduced readers to the land of Krynn and its once-quiescent dragons, Dragons Of Spring Dawning is quite confidently recommended as an outstanding fantasy action/adventure saga.
Rating: Summary: Good, But Limited Audience Only Review: This was an amazing book. You have to read the other books before it though, Dragons of Autumn Twilight and Dragons of Spring Dawning. You find out about a lot of vital information. There is a lot of action. It is awesome.
