Summary: flying castles?
Review: it was good, and I couldn't put it down. I haven't even read the first 2, but this book made it so I could pick up the story without having to look back.

Summary: One of my favorite fantasy books yet!
Review: The charecters are so alive I feel like they are my closest friends. I told my little sisters their story because they would have a hard time reading it and they refused to let me stop reading it until THEY knew the ending. This book has so much life, fantasy readers will love it.

Summary: Weis and Hickman revive a fragment of their omnipotent talent
Review: By far the best of the three novels, yet still falls considerably short of the Chronicles trilogy. A part of what made the original saga is evident here; particularly with depth of characterisation. The weight of the world and emotional turmoil falls upon Caramon not Tanis; although, the authors do introduce the prodigal half-elf to good effect in this novel. We observe Crysania's inner-pain and suffering; though that pales in comparison to what Laurana had to endure during the war of the Lance. We examine Dalamar who to me appeared too pure of heart to wear the black robes. He is by all accounts a powerful wizard destined to become head of the Conclave, yet paled miserably when compared to his archmage mentor.The authors lift the pace (and the ante) in this book and the series needed it. The plot development at last became suspenseful in the risk taking and impending sense of doom. In turn, this made the reading more gripping and compelling. One of several twists in the tale is with the temptress Kitiara. The authors use this opportunity to tie up some loose ends from the previous series. Even as Kit is about to die, we witness yet again that her one and only weakness has always been Tanis. What a lucky guy he is; imagine being sought after by an elven goddess and an alluring femme fatale. The key element which prevented the previous two books from stagnating was missing here, but perhaps it was not needed what with everything else that's going on. I am of course referring to the comic relief provided by the irrepressible kender. Tasslehoff, in whatever shape or form, will always be the authors' trump card; the sole figure who cannot be replaced for love nor money. In summary, Test provides a good ending to a not so good series. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh, but the universal standards set by the authors with the Chronicles are simply not adhered to in the two previous novels and there is minimal evidence of it here. However as fantasy adventures go, you will not find many that are superior.

Summary: Test of the Twins: An outstanding conclusion.
Review: "The Test of the Twins" is an outstanding conclusion to the introduction of the Dragonlance Saga. As always, Weis and Hickman delight the reader with an adventure of epic proportions. The final conflict between the twins, Caramon and Raistlin, is not only a sibling dispute, but a clash of epic, and world changing proportions. This final volumn of the "War of the Lance" which began in the first book, "Dragons of Autumn Flame," reintroduces some of the most memorable characters from the first trilogy for an excellent end to the adventure. I was said to read the last pages! Luckily, this book is only the end, of the beginning.

Summary: A rwview of the Legends saga
Review: This was the last real Dragonlance series. The story of Caramon and Raistlin is bit high-handed at times, but the lesser amount of major characters allows more space to develop them, which is the strength of this trilogy. The sections that took place in Istar were especially delicious, but so was the war against dwarves. Again, in the last volume the story gets so high that I just can't buy it all, but it's always so with these fantasy epics. As good as it gets.

Summary: the whole trilogy is great
Review: This whole trilogy is awesome (Legends). The War of The Lance's culmination and Raistlin's rise to power (and fall) are portrayed exquistely. Characters like Lord Soth and of course Tasselhoff make it even better. :)

Summary: Best DragonLance work ever!
Review: Wow!!! THis is certainly the best book DragonLance has ever published, the first two legends lacked action and had their booring parts, but here it all comes together. THis was also the first DL book I ever read and it hooked me into reading a lot of other ones. The Raistlin character is my favorite ever out of all the books i've read.

Summary: The Majere Brothers fight together against Takhisis!
Review: I liked Test of the Twins the best because it had the most action compacted together. My favorite part was the final battle against Takhisis, Queen of Darkness.

Summary: The enchanting tales of the Dragonlance Legends end.
Review: The stories of the Dragonlance Legends which started in the Inn of the Last Home under the vallenwoods end in this wonderful book. Raistlin (Caramon Majere's frail twin) opens the mystical Portal to the Abyss to challenge the Queen of Darkness, Takhisis. At the exact same, his twin Caramon activates the magical time-traveling device. The fields of magic shift and collide sending Caramon and his kender friend, Tasslehof Burrfoot, into an unexpected time and place while Raistlin enters the Abyss. Meanwhile, the full continent of Ansolon on the planet of Krynn is undergoing one of the most destructive wars ever recorded by Astinus, Ansolon's Chronicler. Tanis Halfelven and Caramon takeovere a giant flying catedal and had Tasslehof and a gully dwarf fly it over to the Tower of High Sorcery while Tanis and Caramon fought off a powerful Bozzark mage. Once there, Caramon and Tanis went past Dalamar's magical guardians (Dalamar- one of the most powerful sorcerers in the entire planet of Krynn. He is the protector of the Tower of High Sorcery and the Portal) only to find him laying on the stone floor after being stabbed by the Dragon Highlord Kitiara (Kitiara- she is the friend and foe of many people throughout the Dragonlance Legends). Caramon enters the Abyss and finds Lady Crysania, a powerful mage, laying at the foot of a burnt stake. Caramon picks her up and walks into Raistlin. Raistlin with all of his magic power almost kills Caramon but is too injured to do so. Caramon takes that time to explain what will happen if he is victorious in defeating the Queen of Darkness. So he sends caramon out of the Portal with Lady Crysania and stands up to the Queen. The Queen of Darkness turns into a dragon-like creature and easily kills the injured Raistlin. Lord Soth, the death knight of Solamnia and his forces who are destroying the capitol of Ansolon, Palanthas, is defeated by Tanis and Caramon. Tanis later returns home to Solamnia while Caramon returns home to a far off part of the vallenwoods. When Caramon's wife Tika and Caramon himself get imbraced in a hug that is so long that it almost seems that they're in suspended animation, Tasslehof sneeks off into another part of the house. He vows that his adventuring days were over and pulls out some maps he had gotten as presents. He looked over the maps remembering the fun times he had there until he came to a place he hadn't been beforeand wandered what it was like. Then he remembered his vow. But as the book puts it "It wasn't Tasslehof that pulled the device out of the bag. Itwasn't Tasslehof that said the magical words to transport him. It was the hand." This is a wonderful book and is definitely worth your time and money to read. Although it's a good idea to read the other Legends first so you can know the storyline ahead of time. There is a small amount of swearing and it completely describes the killing so I would not recommend this book for children 8 or under.
