Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just as good as the first.
Review: This book is just as good, if not better, than the first. It has all the great qualities of the first novel. The battle at the High Clerist Tower is an awsome part. it is funny, too. Especially when Tas breaks the Dragon Orb. It is one of the best books I have EVER read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Unforgettable Novel!!
Review: I loved all the Chronicles trilogy but dragons of winter night was the best of them all.The chracters are all so realistic and each chapter of the book gets better and better. Aside from keeping you on the edge of your seat, you'll also laugh and cry with this book. Laurana shines,Sturm is inspiring, Tasselhoff is so funny, and the other chracters are just as great!I read this book about five time already and I'm not tired of it at all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: excellent and captivating
Review: I first got into dragonlance when i was in high school and now, 10 years later, I find myself returning to Krynn again and again. The characters are like old friends, and the story constantly renews itself to me. For those who dont like a certain individual book i recommend the collectors edition, with all 3 books in one. It makes the story seem as one. I highly recommend any dragonlance, except for the later books that aren't written by Weis and Hickman.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Don't know what everyone's complaining about
Review: I don't know why everyone seems to think this is the worst of the Chronicles Trilogy. I always thought it was the best, since I first read it over 10 years ago. It has some of the best scenes of the whole series- Tas and Fizban at Mt. Nevermind, the Whitestone Council Meeting (with Tas at his best), and a climactic and heartbreaking ending. And throughout it, Laurana really shines.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: not a stand alone book
Review: the book is very well written with lots of exiting parts but to really get the whole idea of the story you must read "dragons of autum twilight" which comes before and "dragons of spring dawning" which comes after. the only real problem I had with the book was the ending it left you hanging and kinda forced you to read the next book

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A definate classic.
Review: How can anyone give this book belowfive stars? The characters were absolutely amazing! Who could think up a dark-souled young mage withhourglass eyes? After I read the Legends series, I went back and read the Chronicles. Weis and Hickmen put in tons of clues and foreshadowing about what really happened to Raist and how Fistandantilus isinside him.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Simply told, but well planned
Review: Sure, it's a somewhat simple book, in the tradition of all the D&D-inspired books. But this series is much better than most (and much better than the vast majority of the later books, which utterly spoiled it..)

The storytelling is fine. It's not complex, and the characters are somewhat two-dimensional. But what makes it a glorious thing (For me) is the WORLD. When you read this, you realize that not only have they created a plot for the War of the Lance, and the events surrounding it, but they have an entire history of the whole world. This history, though not actively playing a part in the story, is continuously alluded to.

The fact that the scope of this "overall story", if you will, is so large allows for the many many (too many) books that followed it. The Legends, Heroes, Elven Nations, and Tales (to some extent) trilogies all expanded this history by adding to it, but always keeping the original works true. Some of the other utterly failed at this, and were completely unbelievable, as well as being almost unreadably poorly written. (meetings Sextet, Preludes.....)

In short, an epic like the Dragonlance books doesn't necessarily exist solely because of the characters and plot, but also because of the setting (perhaps you could say the "plot of the setting" is the most important thing), and in this case, I think it's rather well done.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: stop while you can
Review: First, who thought up the new covers? Yeah, okay let's just give it away that Kitiara is the Highlord and not let there be any surprises in the book at all. Though it's nice how the authors bring new characters, like Laurana, to the front and give them the spotlight, they tend to let others, like Goldmoon and Riverwind, just fall off the face of Krynn and forget they are even there. The book is alright, but three stars is all I can muster, even (or especially?) in memory of Autumn Twilight. That book deserves to be followed by something better.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 5- Star material, at least
Review: I first read this book three years ago, when I thought that it was quite good. I have since borrowed it from the library a countless number of times, as it truly is a wonderful book, and an encridable series. It contains masterful storytelling, great plot, is easily to follow and keeps a reader captivated.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: for those who laugh at the adult readers dave j
Review: this book is a shining glory to what good writing can be. the book was amazing. I will first admit that i am not an adult so i cannot vouch for them but i will say that this book allowed for an almost inhuman amount of story telling and character scope. I have enjoyed the DL series for a good amount of time and i have only good words for this book, first of all those considering to buy this book do not even think twice you will not be dissapointed and i emphasize NO MATTER WHAT YOUR AGE. thank you
