Summary: Nothing will ever be the same..
Review: Dragons of summer flame is just what you could expect from Weis & Hickman, en excellent reading-experience that will linger in your memory for a long time after closing the last page. In fact, it lighted up a hunger in me, a gnawing hunger for more. It seems that I, like some other readers, have decided not open a single book that other authors have written about fates of "our own" people in Krynn. So I make a desperate plea, if anyone with authority happens to read this: If Weis & Hickman won't write a sequel to this book freewillingly, force them! Enough with my misery. If you have read the Chronicles & Legends & Second Generation, This is a must. There wasn't much that made me bitter in this brilliant tale. Raistlin without his magic, maybe, but after you consider it, everything came out just as it should have. In my 23-years of age and after 9 years of reading DL-books over and over again, I still consider them as the best books ever published. THANK YOU for the authors!

Summary: Good vs. Evil...
Review: It is the best DL book I've ever read. New characters like Steel and Palin are very interesting. Raistlin come back... without his power, but he has a worthy successor, who has to make a choice... will he make same choice as Raist did? Really, the battle against chaos is only a 'cover' to show the battles that Palin and Steel have to fight in their souls. The only thing I can compare it to is StarWars Trilogy. The same idea... excellent plot... and, most important, the main things in this book are characters, which are very deeply and colorfully developed... Read this book if you like something more then just a 'fantasy story'.

Summary: Why Raistlin had to lose his power......
Review: Weis and Hickman had to make Raistlin lose his power......If Raistlin still had his power...the battle against Chaos would have easily been won. There would have been no need for Palin or Steel. The Gray Robes would have been destroyed by Raistlin.By making Raistlin weak and powerless allowed Weis and Hickman to actually make a story out of this plot.

Summary: 10 Disappointing things about this book
Review: 1) All of the gods and goddesses that used to be so cool before, become weak and even seem mortal. 2) Palin's brothers, who everyone was looking forward to see, were killed even before they did anything. 3) Tanis Half-Elven dies a unheroic death. (Unlike Sturm) 4) Introducing the Irda was a mistake. 5) Having Raistlin's daughter turn out not to be her daughter was pretty weak. 6) Raistlin without magic is like Dirty Harry with no guns. 7) Death Knights weren't as awesome as they were supposed to be. 8) The other books were good, why did this hafta suck?? 9) Palin is not Raistlin. (and is boring) 10) Chaos didn't really do much...

Summary: Dragons of Summer Flame does not exist!!!!!
Review: The chronicles, great, Legends even better. Dragons of Summer Flame utterly pathetic, and very sad to see how authors of such notability could have possible dreamed up such a weak plot. Weis and Hickman had better damn well be ashamed of themselfs for selling out millions of fans. This book was clearly written for $$$$$$ I will never read another DL novel again. the magic is gone. Who cares about the Fifth age? It's only been written by other authors who are too thoughtless to create there own fantasy world. Can you say bandwagon, plus easy money get lost and get an imagination. Down wth TSR money hunger pigs. Gary Gygax 4-Life.

Summary: And the fire dies.....
Review: Dragons of Summer Flame, while a good piece of Fantasy, was a bit of a disappointment to this long time Dragonlance fan. While I won't spoil the end for you, lets just say that Krynn will never be the same again. It was my impression that the authors had just grown tired of Krynn the way it was and decided to make a drastic change. And while indeed that is their porogative, it kind of kills any future Dragonlance novels for me. I give it a 7 because it is indeed a very good piece of Fantasy, but the flame on Krynn has died, and unless the authors can once again work the magic of the Gods, I no longer have a spark of interest in any future Dragonlance novels.

Summary: Excellent
Review: This book was a perfect end to the Dragon Lance saga. I hope that they make no more after this because so few novels can just tie themselves together like this one does. For me it was extremely touching at the end and call me a softie but I thought it all fit in.

Summary: Stay away!!!!
Review: I grew up reading Dragonlance. I love Weis and Hickman's creation and still can't believe how they could destroy all that they built with one miserable book. This book is similar to the movie "Highlander 2" - it makes you want to forget you ever read it because it ruins everything you liked about the previous books. I was physically angry as I finished this book. Do not read it!

Summary: I am boycotting this book
Review: Its a great story, but Weis and hickman kill any character off that the reader may have liked, and they throw magic out of Kyrnn! All my friends and I deny that this book relates to any book in this series, its just a completely seperate tragic story.

Summary: Wonderfull story. . . . Terrible end.
Review: The DragonLance Chronicles series built up a powerful storyline, and kept readers coming back for more. The Legends series was and interesting twist, but it ended leaving fans in suspense, with no sense of closure. This end was to come in Dragons of Summer Flame. The book started out strong, and I just couldn't put it down. The storyline was intricate and captivating. . . then came the end. Although this did not lead to the end of the series, as some initially feared, all books written thereafter were very different; it might as well not even be the same series. Still, it is a must read for any DragonLance fan, and it has some powerful moments. But expect to be ultimately disappointed.
