Summary: Good Stuff
Review: Dragons of a Winter night was probably the best one out of the series. It seems to me, this book was a little more thought out than Dragons of Autumn Twilight. The Character's personalities where brought out more and instead of a hack and slash, runaway action-adventure novel, it was a hack and slash, runaway, emotional, Melodramatic action-adventure novel, which are my favorite type of stories to read.The book highlights were that of the character's Sturm, Laurana, Kitara, Tanis (not until the end half) and of course, Raistlin. I didn't like and sometimes was annnoyed by Sturm's character in the first book, but Sturm's character shined in this book. The Love affair with Alhana and the trial in Solamia where some of the best parts of the book. Not a tough read, but a lot O' sub-plots going on here and it can get a little confusing if you haven't read the first book. But if you have and didn't like it, read this book because it's a fun story and what else are you going to do? If your reading this your not doing anything, so go read this book and enjoy........For me?

Summary: Some of us are not destined to meet again in this life
Review: Dragons of Winter Night is my favorite of the three original Dragonlance novels. This book is darker than the other two, filled with much pain and sorrow. The story picks up several months after the end of Dragons of Autumn Twilight, with the Companions of the Lance continuing their search for the ancient Gods of Krynn. They have been swept up into a war that is begining, and are separated in the city of Tarsis the Beautiful. This is a tale of lost love and lost innocence. Tanis is torn between two women, and Raistlin flirts with the black robes of evil. Across the continent, Laurana and Sturm face many challenges, some leading to glory and some to the sword. The character development is supreme and the plot moves quickly. Watch out, the end of this book will bring you to tears if you have a heart.

Summary: The Best Book I Ever Read
Review: This book truly was the best book I ever read and I have read lots of good books like: Series of Unfortunate Events, Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, The Thief Lord, and Artimis Fowl. Even after all of this it is still my favorite book.
Why you ask? It is full of adventure and suspence through out the whole book and it sparks the imagination.
I would compare this to LOTR (Lord of the Rings) and I would say that I would rather have seen this book as a movie other than LOTR.

Summary: Hooked For LIfe!
Review: That sums it up! Hooked For Life! If you read Dragons of Autum Twilight, the first book in the series, you might have said "eh...whats the big deal with these books and why have they made so many?" Well my friend by the time you finish chapter seven of this book you will know. After chapter seven every chapter becomes an earth shattering, wild riding, can't put it down, good read!
After this book I went out and bought 40+ more of the Dragonlance Books! Read it today!

Summary: The Chill of Winter
Review: The second installment of the now classic Chronicles Trilogy picks up shortly after the events detailed in "The Dragons of Autumn Twilight". The second volume shows the companions scattered across the continent of Ansalon, with each member battling personal demons as well as the minions of Takhisis. The parties search desperately for weapons to use against the spreading evil such as the dragon orbs and the legendary dragonlance, and throughout the novel Weiss and Hickman continue to develop their memorable cast. The climax of the novel is one of the most vivid scenes in the entire Dragonlance saga, as Sturm Brightblade and a paltry force of loyal Knights defend the High Clerists tower against overwhelming forces. The increasingly powerful Raistlin Majere dangerously flirts with darkness, and Tanis is torn between beautiful women, one of darkness and one of the light. "The Dragons of Winter Night" is a worthy successor to Chronicles Vol. 1, and is easily the darkest of the three novels. Fans of fantasy should be well pleased, and the Dragonlance series is a great way for younger readers to become introduced to the genre.

Summary: The story of all time continues!
Review: This novel is filled with love, hate, comedy, and anything you can think of! The story of a strage mixup of characters trying to bring peace back to their world is about to continue. This book is filled with complex characters and magnificent dialogue. A masterpeice without paint is created by two of the worlds best authors.....once again!(It's not the end of my getaway ticket!) The party of Tanis is searching for the legendary dragonorb so they can control the evil dragons that are currently trying to take over the world with help of their Dragon Highlords. If the party can take over them with the powerfull dragonorbs, they just may save Krynn from all destruction! With the help of Tanis, half-elven, Raistlin, frail mage, Tasselhoff, kender\theift, Caramon, warrior, Laurana, elf maiden, and Flint, dwarf, they try to stop the queen of darkness from taking over Krynn. A great book for ages 12 and up. Please read Dragons of Autumn Twilight first. Thank you for reading my review and may the Force be with you! Frans, (SnArf)

Summary: great when I was 15 and immature. But now...
Review: STORY: As one editorial review put it: "The second volume in Dragonlance's seminal trilogy stokes the action with a big ol' blast of dragon breath. The War of the Lance has begun in earnest, and the Companions--Tanis, Flint, the twins Raistlin and Sturm, Flint Fireforge, Goldmoon, et al.--find themselves separated across Ansalon. Everyone's figured out that Takhisis's dragon minions aren't just scary bedtime stories, and the desperate search for the Dragon Orbs and the mythical Dragonlance is on." MY FEEDBACK:
Back in my days of playing the pencil & paper version of AD&D you always had two kinds of players:
1) The players that just ran into everything killing and asking questions later (lots of action)
2)The other extreme of those that wanted to think everything through leading to an hour discussion just to make one single decision.
This book was like the first group of players. Lots of action but it lacked the balance of thinking things through or a true build up of suspense.
Every character (and it felt like "every" one of them) had a level of pride to the point of everyone was wanted to fight whenever they felt slightly insulted. Each scene seemed a repeat of the previous one where someone would get offended, then it would require a comrade having to hold them back...this got tiring after a while.
If the authors were really trying to portray such prideful characters realistically then the story would not logically have progressed because of so many egos at work then no decisions would be made.
Good thing for us the authors take some obvious stereotypes and just keep them moving whether we believe they would or not.
There was some good comic relief and the story had all the other facets of a D&D adventure:
1) several races and the prejudices built up between races
2) lots of different locals to visit
3) high adventure, magic and dragons
So if you want something that doesn't stop to take a breath and let you ask yourself "Is this plausible?", then this book is for you.
Don't get me wrong I'm more action oriented myself so I enjoy the book enough to give it a "good" rating, just not a very good or great rating.
I feel that if you want a truly sweeping saga of a story then try the Riftwar Saga by Raymond E. Fiest which starts off in the first book, "Magician: Apprentice"; or Barbara Hambly's, Darwarth series starting off in, "The Time of the Dark".

Summary: Best of the series
Review: This book ranks three stars because it was better than the other two in the series. The game mechanics were not in your face. I do not recall reading how Raistlin was forced to rest after casting a spell, or too often about the "language of magic". I also enjoyed the Bardic renditions, to a degree. There were still too many subplots, and the adventure overall is too grandiose. There were some cases where the plot was paper-thin. I would have preferred subtler foreshadowing, especially with a trilogy in which to unfold the story. If the authors have to tell me what's coming or how the characters feel, I don't feel that they have done their job. The best of a mediocre series.

Summary: Another Masterpiece
Review: What a great way to bring the sequel to the Chronicals to life. Another great book about all your favorite characters. This books is sad though but don't fear the last in the trilogy will be great. Dragonlance is of epic proportion and it shows in this book. Dragonlance is here to stay. Follow Laurana, Sturm, Tas, and Flint in the Battle of the High Clerist Tower. Stay with Tanis, Caramon, Raistlin, and Tika as they enter a dream. You'll follow them through every book after this.
