Summary: same AS ALWAYS
Review: I take it (after reading this book) that this lot's no stranger to big globe trotting and world saving adventures. Gives them a head start on events to come , unfortunately after a few pages worth i got the distinct impression that it was another weis/hickman rip off. I mean bringing Sargonnas into krynn / an ally of the dark queen? Why cut it short and settle for an assistant when you can get the five headed dragon herself. A weak attempt of copying/masking the Takhisis scenario already done in by enough writers that it becomes to old for my taste. The companions portrayal here were bland. Not one of them really shone , neither as a whole ; which should be the basic concept here. Advertising wise it said : see the companions in their first adventure. Right... what adventure? you mean the same adventure. The books not bad it's just a tad unoriginal.

Summary: A good book
Review: I think that is a very good book, that leads you to the unknown lands of Mithas, Karthay, and Kothas, it has some things that you practicaly know that didn't happen to the compannions, but even with this problem, I think that it deserves to be read

Summary: Don't judge other books in the series by this one, Please!
Review: I was really disappointed by this book. The writing is terrible - like the book I tried to write when I was 8, except it's 300 odd pages long and someone must have actually given the author money for it. The story is essentially like any disaster movie: meet the characters, have a few foreboding encounters with the bad guys, climax (ho hum) where some weird and previously unheard of allies suddenly spring to their aid. Character development is poor and inconsistent with other, far superior, Dragonlance novels. Even if you've just read the previous 5 novels in the sextet (as I had), I'd advise you to forego reading this, it illuminates nothing.

Summary: What a dissapointment!
Review: It is obvious to me that the author has never read a Dragonlance book before. Each and every one of the characters act uncharacteristically, to say the least. Tanis is stupid, Tas is evil, Sturm is a coward, and on and on. What a piece of crap! If you are a Dragonlance fan, skip this one, it will only make you mad (or violently sick). This should have been the best book ever! Instead, it's the worst... And what is this thing the author has with bodily wastes? Disgusting.

Summary: Pretty disappointing!
Review: It's almost like 2 people wrote this: a bad writer & a good one. Parts of it are explained very well & others are told rather than explained.The outline of the story is great. The telling is not. Tina did well with Dark Heart but it seemed she was overwhelmed with too many characters in this one.

Summary: A Good Book...But Not The Best
Review: This book was good, but compared to other Dragonlance books...it was fair. A good book to read, "The Companions" is a must read for any fan of the Chronicle trilogy.

Summary: Fantastic
Review: This book was great. My cousin and I love dragonlance books and between us we own every single one thet has been sold in Iceland. ,,The meetings of the sextet,, is the best series in Dragonlance.

Summary: What a waste.
Review: This is not just the worst Dragonlance novel I have ever read, it is one of the worst books, period. I cannot believe TSR published this awful excuse for a novel. This must be Tina Daniell's first (and last, I hope) fantasy novel. I can imagine the preview if "The Companions" was a movie: "You'll howl with laughter as Tasslehoff takes an "evil" potion, and cuts of Sturm's moustache! Ha ha, ouch! Now, that's evil! You'll cringe as he paints his room black, proving his depravity! Watch out, folks! He means business!" But hey folks, if you can overlook plot chasms, awful syntax, and a boring and preposterous story that clearly never actually happened in the Dragonlance universe(one of the reasons we liked reading about Tanis and Raistlin and Sturm was that they were basically just ordinary people who became heroes through chance. If the events in this novel are valid, they saved Krynn years before the War of the Lance)then this is the book for you!
