Summary: Great ending on a fantastic trilogy
Review: I remember staying up ALL night until like 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning to finish this novel. This brings many threads and questions/mysteries from the first two novels (see my reviews of other Dragonlance and fantasy stuff, incl. Dragons of Autumn Twilight and Dragons of Winter Night) to a close. You find out the mysteries of what exactly the Green Gemstone man and why he's important and what happens to Raistlin. Also this epic fleshes out Raistlin to be the amazing character he is, portrayed at the end as one with way more influence and power than any of us thought. Also relationships triangle Tanis-Kit-Lauranana will end with Tanis choosing one over the other. I wont exactly spoil any of it for you. This saga has an excellent ending where divine influence is involved and brings about closure but raises new and exciting questions and mysterious on the world of Krynn. After this comes the Legends Trilogy (Time of the Twins, War of the Twins, Test of the Twins) which is just as amazing as Chronicles. If you read both Dragons of Autumn Twilight and Dragons of Winter Night you MUST buy this book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best thus far
Review: This was the best of the Chronicles series. It was the most interesting, yet almost the most sad. I think it gave a great ending to the triology and made me want to read on to discover what happened to the rest of the characters. I think anyone who is interested in the Dragonlance world, needs to read not only this book but the other two books in the Chronicles trilogy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It continued to get better.
Review: This is one of the few series where the books kept getting better rather then having trouble living up to the first. During this third book I surprised myself when I was brought to tears when one of my favorite characters dies. It was done in such a poignant, refined and memorable way.

I feel that Tas is the best character. He seems to be the character that ends up evolving the most throughout the books. I tend to cheer on the underdog so Tas' unflagging innocence of his crimes and Flint's constant mumbling were very refreshing and entertaining.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dragons of Spring Dawning
Review: Dragons of Spring Dawning is a great book, but you should not read it without reading Dragons of Autumn Twilight, and Dragons of Winter night first. This would confuse you as well as ruin some of the story. But overall Spring Dawning, is one of my favorite Dragonlance books, as well as being a core book in the series.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The End of the Beginning
Review: First, let me say that this review is predicated on my [positive] review of the first two books, where I address the series as a whole. This one addresses this [the third] book only.

This book is the bittersweet conclusion to the story of the war of the lance. Continuing the trend of the first two, this volume gets darker as the companions struggles become more significant. We again find ourselves exploring new parts of the world with the characters and the death of Sturm in the second book has given us a hint that this isn't all going to end on a high note. At the end of this book you can sit back and think about all the characters you liked, and sure enough there is probably another entire novel or series (or more) on them, even the minor characters. Raistlin, the most complex character, doesn't really drive this story as he did the prior ones, and actually becomes a little simpler towards the end as things get wrapped up. Overall I thought this book was a great conclusion but was a little bit dry. A rating of 4 seems to be adequate, but if you've read the first two (which you should), then the rating of this one is fairly moot...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful ending!
Review: This book was great, it brought together the perfect end to a wonderful series. The chronicles series is highly popular all around the world, and if you havent bought, and read these books, then you are missing out on a wonderful world of fantasy. Weis and Hickman make you feel for the characters, make you feel their pains and their sorrows, their love and their happiness. This is definately a wonderful book and a must read. If you buy this book, i garauntee that you will not second guess the decision.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: very good book
Review: this was one of the first dragonlance books i read and after i read this one, i continued. when u first start off with the first book of the chronicles about the WAr of the Lance, it seems a bit confusing, but by the time u get to this book, it all comes together beautifully. the way the author describes everything in the book is great. its a good book for most ages i think, but tends to be long, so i recommend it for 12 and up. after reading this book, you should definately get Dragons of Summer flame and continue collecting other chronicles and sets. this book is really good especially for people interested in fantasy stuff.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The balance is restored!
Review: A perfect conclusion to a perfect trilogy! The ending is why I love the Dragonlance novels. The bad guys didn't win but the good guys didn't either. The balance was restored. Nothing more, nothing less.

The ending with Raistlin is great. I love him but he gives me the creeps.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I hated fantasy novels before this
Review: I adore the Dragonlance Chronicles, and the entire Dragonlance series for that matter. But the crazy thing is, I refused to read these books at first. I hated fantasy novels because of a few very bad books I had read earlier in life. My boyfriend finally got me to buy Dragons of Autumn Twilight. It became the first book I ever stayed up reading until the sun came up. While the first is my favorite, simply because it seemed lighter and funnier because everything was just starting, I think Dragons of Spring Dawing was a perfect ending. Like a lot of other people, Raistlin is my favorite character, and I'm glad his character developed into what all of the companions knew he was all along. Oh, and you have to love Fizban, too.

Anyway, now, thanks to three wonderful books, I am a hopeless lover of the entire fantasy world. I'd rave about the Chronicles to anyone any day.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A book taken from the world of fantsy itself
Review: This is a book taken from a world of fantsy itself. It gives you a heart stoping end to one of the greatest chronicles that has inspired a compelling saga. It was an orginal and a book worth owning, a great book to read no matter the age group.
