Summary: This settled a lassitude upon my soul....
Review: To be perfectly blunt, this was not a good book. Usually I'm a smooth reader of just about any book. But unfortunately I could not read more than four pages. Those richly-designed characters we've all come to know and love just were not there. Where was Tanis's troubled heart and Flint's tender though gruff attitude? Where was Sturm's honor-bound ways, and where was Raistlin's concealed ambition? Truly this settled a dreary lassitude upon my soul. Frankly, it was a waste of money, though I wouldn't want to be hurtful to the writer. The writer has potential.... but I just could not feel anything with "The Companions". Please go onto to read the "Chronicles", "Legends", and the "War of Souls" parts of the awesome Dragonlance Saga before attempting this dragging quest.

Summary: An example of why people hate TSR books
Review: TSR's books got off to a fine start, with Weis and Hickman's early Dragonlance books. Then they began putting out books like this, trusting on name recognition to sell, and forever marring their book department. They've put out a number of good books in recent years but those books earn the wrath of many fantasy fans simply because of the publisher. Please avoid this book and most of the others using Weis and Hickman's chars but by different authors. Most have bad plot, poor characterization and melodrama to the max - and this book is no exception to that rule.
