Rating: Summary: The third marvelous book to wrap up the trilogy! Review: The Dragons of Spring Dawning was one of the best in the Chronicles Trilogy. I just wanted to tip my hat off to Weis and Hickman for such a magical journey. These three books were a great way to begin the Dragonlance series.
Rating: Summary: An incredible novel to conclude an incredible trilogy. Review: Most trilogies give out a great first chapter, a half-hearted second installment, and conclude on a glittery finale, with lots of style and no substance. This is not an example of that - this is an excellent work that can only be fully appreciated by reading the novels that preceeded it. Excellent writing by Weis and Hickman make this book a real winner. There are a few spots that could've been better - an ending that is pretty much a plug for the next series of books, and the rushed write-out of two characters is disappointing to say the least. But there's a lot to like in this book, and that's enough to make it a must-have for any reader.
Rating: Summary: A wonderful conclusion!! Review: I've read the whole Chronicles series, and this book is just as good as the others. Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman are the best duo in the writing business and probably the most famous too. I am continually amazed by the talent Margaret Weis has for writing fantasy and Sci-fi (will she ever run out of ideas? I hope not.) I am making it my life's goal to obtain every piece of writing she has ever written. Keep in the business, Margaret Weis. You are one of the best. I'm sure anyone who feels the same way I do agrees.
Rating: Summary: Not as good as the others, but definately a must-get. Review: The last book in the series, DoSD ties the whole thing together. Unfortunately, it doesn't tell you what happens to Kitiara. I know that they are probably letting you make your won conclusions, but still, they should give a hint. Well, I guess it was all right.
Rating: Summary: Good, but not great Review: The Spring Dawning is not quite as good as the other two books in the chronicles. It is a good book, but in the beginning it is boring. It doesn't live up to the other two. But if you read them, I reccommend reading this.
Rating: Summary: Better than Toilken by far! Review: I think that this book is written extremely well. Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman do an excellent job in describing the scenes and characters. And I like how in the end Tanis kills Ariakas with the help of his black robed friend Raistlin. Another thing I liked was when Fizban (Paladine) lowers down a golden plank in place of the missing one. I could name off hundreds more examples but I don't think I can fit it into a thousand words.
Rating: Summary: Better than Tolkien by a long shot. Review: Let's just make a statement here: The Dragonlance Chronicles are BETTER than The Lord of the Rings. For some unknown reason, everyone seems to have put Tolkien's works on a platform and declared them untouchable. Yes, the Chronicles do take elements from Tolkien. But this is simply a better story; the characters are much more well-realized, and the series as a whole is just plain more compelling. And of course, Michael Williams's splendid poetry only helps matters.
Rating: Summary: I Loved It!!! Review: Hey This Book Is Wonderful! You've Got To Read It!!! The Only Thing I Dont Like Is...Is Well That Sturm Is Gone. Its Sad Really. But Otherwise the Book Is Great!
Rating: Summary: i would rate this 7 stars if i could... Review: One of the people giving a review above talks about teh similirities or this book and lord of the rings. Granted there are some similities, but if that is the reson for not likeing a book, then LOR is the only fantasy book you will EVER like. Almost every fantasy writer has read older fantsy books and prolly liked them too, somtimes inspiring the writing itself, and so, similarities will occur, though it is not a bad thing...
Rating: Summary: J.R.R. Tolkien is much better... Review: This trilogy is a nice effort to bring into life a "real" world of fantasy. Good characters, with nice background and the interaction by the gods is an extra. But, yes there is a but, the three books are not original. Someone who has read the biggest and the finest fantasy book ever written, "The Lord Of The Rings" can spot with ease the similarities between it and the Dragonlance. Weis and Hickman are very good but they have to try to be more original. If you have never read something like that, it is better for you, dear reader, to start from the best
