Summary: A swell book to read
Review: This was the most recent DL book I've read and I have to say that it is GREAT! The plot is excellent, the characters are portrayed well, and it kept me in suspense. I hadn't realized that the Knights of Takhises were such nice people up until now. And at first I was shocked to see Tanis die but I guess it had to happen someday. I can't think of anything wrong with this book. I've always liked Fizban in particular. He's just so silly and I can never tell if Paladine has a wierd sense of humor or if he's actually serious about being so silly (I hope he's got a wierd sense of humor, otherwise Krynn would be in big trouble.) The best part was when Raistlin enters the world again.

Summary: Great book. Where can they go now though?
Review: I thought this was a great book, but I feel it should have been at least two books really. For me the magic of the first trilogy was discovering the Gods and the worrld with the charecters yet in this book the authors pretty much distroy it all. The main story was good, many people disagree with the death of some of the old characters but I think for the seris to move on they did not need to have things or people pulling them back to the last age. I do disagree with the way the death of Tanin and sturm was brushed over though. I really did enjoy the return of rastlin and his interaction with caramon. I do not see how Dalmar could fool any one into thinking she was raistlins child though becuase she had no magic at all not even the natural Irda magic. So all in all it was a good book but you have to ask where do the authors have to go now, the world is left God and magic less. The next novel will mack or break the dragon lance world.

Summary: GREAT
Review: i dont care what anyone says, i think its a good book; and ill also admit that im biased cuz Raistlin is so cool, but still! Despite some deaths that probably could have NOT HAPPENED, the story was still beautifully written and i hope that future books will be just as good and better (an maybe with some Raistlin in 'em! ;p) Overall, a good read

Summary: A damn good book.
Review: This book is the long awaited final chapter in the Dragonlance chronicles. Set more then 20 years after the War of the Lance, it features the evil Knights of Takhisis attempting to open the Portal to the Abyss. Unfortunatly, Chaos, father of the gods, has arrived in Krynn, and will not stop at anything. A young maje, Palin Majere, is forced by the Knights to open the portal. He knows he cannot open it, but believes his Uncle Raistlin will open it from the Abyss. I reccomend this book to whoever enjoyed the Dragonlance series.

Summary: A tragic, but successful conclusion
Review: Summer Flame had an incredible plot going with the rise of the Knights of Takhisis, and a fascinating subplot with the Irda and the chaos gem. Although some of the newer characters lagged, the veterans of the Chronicles and Legends trilogies made up the difference. The return of Raistlin and his new relationship with Caramon worked better than I imagined. The irrepressible Tasslehoff Burrfoot carries several of the rookie characters as only he can. Tanis has found his long sought after inner peace; and although the lack of turmoil within his soul simplifies the once complex hero, his character shines brighter than ever as leader of the Knights of Solamnia. The main plot twists and thickens beatifully when with little to no warning it is completely taken over by the far less developed subplot involving the chaos gem. I personally love a good plot twist, but this was too much too fast. Fortunately, the new plot is interesting enough to rise somewhat successfully out of the wreckage of the previous plot it utterly destroyed. The death of my two favorite characters left me in absolute shock when I first read of them, but Weis and Hickman brilliantly conclude the dragonlance series with a return to an afterlife theme from the original Chronicals and Legends. I say conclude the Dragonlance series despite the fact that The Fifth Age series exists, because it is obvious to anyone who has read any of the Fifth Age books that Dragonlance is dead. TSR should have held a beautiful funeral and honored the memory rather than dragging around the souless corpse of what Dragonlance once was. Perhaps this is part of the reason TSR was recently taken over by Wizards of the Coast (creaters of Magic the Gathering trading card game).

Summary: Exciting, but waits too long to cut to the chase
Review: This book is very exciting. It's bigger then most dragonlance books, which makes it all the more better. However, I do not think the writiers did enough with the extra space. The actual Chaos War does not occur until the final few chapters, which is a big disappointment. However, the rest of the book was good enough to stop it from falling all the way to 3 stars.

Summary: A worthy if flawed addition...
Review: Do I think this book was the equal of the first 3 Chronicle books? No, as many other readers have noted before me, the main characters are not as well developed as some of our old favorites. I certainly agree that this book deserved to be its own trilogy as that alone would have added much. All this said, I WAS captivated by this book in much the way Margaret and Tracey have captivated me ever since Dragonlance first came to life. It was hard to say good bye to Tanis and Tas, just as it was hard to see what had become of Caramon and Tika. The sub-plot about Raistlin and Palin was interesting and could have been marvelous if allowed time to mature. All in All DoSF was a good book that could have been great.

Summary: The greatest Dragonlance book yet!
Review: This book was great, the book was long but it kept me at the edge of my seat the whole time. It had a great and complicated plot, cool characters, and had its comedy relief (Tas) this book is worth every penny!

Summary: Flame dies quietly in the wind
Review: I thought Weis and Hickman were a fantasy "dream team" made in heaven when they published Dragons of Autumn Twilight. Admittedly I was a lot younger then, but I still enjoy reading the great novel and ensuing trilogies. So why didn't Summer Flame burn my heart to the very core? The plot was intriguing with several twists, all of which were executed in the traditional Weis-Hickman manner. I had no misgivings over an "elderly" Tasslehoff taking a central role; as he is a figure who could not be replaced. Nonetheless the book simply didn't have the same effulgence radiated by its predecessors. There wasn't enough time to develop all the new characters; hence you could not love or hate them in the same manner. As for the destructive conclusion, I take the point made by several fellow readers in that the authors may have been under pressure from TSR, in order to spawn the Fifth Age. I find it hard however, to think it may have been an act of revenge or remorse by the authors. And now for the death of Tanis. Like so many other readers, I felt my heart and stomach turn in despair when the unthinkable occurred to the exalted half-elf. Although it did not come as a surprise, particularly after his final conversation with his quisalas, there was a real sense of anguish and deprivation. The authors flawlessly conveyed this, though it could not have been easy for Hickman to slay off his protege. In this story's context, the half-elf did die a noble death in battle. And we have to remember that he is not a paladin knight. Having been so captivated by the original Chronicles trilogy, my only gripe is that Tanis, having eventually found his inner peace, should have lived a few more contented years with his wife Laurana; he deserved and Krynn owed him that much. And why take his son away from him? I'm sure there is another story in that alone, but it's just more heartache for our revered hero. In summation, read the novel, but don't expect the pure magnum opus that once catapulted us headlong into the spellbinding world of Krynn.

Summary: This book brought me to tears but for all the wrong reasons.
Review: Why or why did they have to destroy what so many of us hold so dear? Dragonlance and the world of Krynn meant more to me than a story. It influenced my life and helped me grow as a person. I was so captivated and enthralled by the mystical world full of legendary dragons and other mythical creatures. I can't help but detest all those responsible for taking this away from me.
